The trip of a lifetime
Everything was PERFECT. The staff waited on us in every way, cleaning constantly, maintaining our rooms, complete with evening turn down service and helping everyone with scuba gear. No need to lift a finger for anything. The food was exquisite, a mixture of local delicacies, combined with comfortable and familiar selections, always fresh and healthy, plated four course dinners. The diving was outstanding! The guides were next level! Able to spot the invisible and find us the most impressive large creatures. We had a really fun group of other divers along for the trip and made friendships that will last a lifetime.

Amazing diving with amazing people
We thoroughly enjoyed our liveaboard experience on White Manta with Nacho and crew. It was hands down the best liveaboard we’ve been on. The food was delicious and full of variety, and the crew was so attentive. Of course Raja Ampat has some of the best diving in the world, so overall we would definitely come back!

Raja Ampat is a wonderful place for diving.
All diving process was very good. Experienced dive guides. But I recommend grouping by diving experience.The water from the faucet on the boat is yellow, and the towels are also yellow.

would do this trip again but during different time of year
We experienced 2 storms. This itinerary may be better during a different time of the year. However, the pristine diving in Una Una and Batu Gong were exceptional. The dive site "fish-o-mania" had over an estimated 1 million fish--remarkable! The dive masters assisted with those that needed help with current diving--which was appreciated! Staff was friendly and very helpful with anything we needed.

One of the best liveaboards out there
The best liveaboard I’ve been on. The cabin was really spacious with a comfortable bed. The crew did everything possible to make our trip enjoyable. The dive sites were great and our dive guides were keen to show us all the critters while keeping us safe. I’ve already booked my next trip for the next year.
