Wonderful Experience on White Manta
I had a great experience on the White Manta liveaboard. Everything was very well organized from start to finish, and the whole trip ran smoothly. The crew was friendly, professional, and always helpful, making everyone feel welcome throughout the trip. The dive guides were knowledgeable and did a great job finding amazing marine life. The boat was clean and comfortable, the cabins were well maintained, and there was plenty of space to relax between dives. The food was excellent with lots of variety, and there were always snacks and drinks available. Overall, everything was good, and I really enjoyed my time on board. I’d definitely recommend White Manta.

Despite the adversity, the trip was fabulous.
A large and very comfortable boat, spacious rooms, large and open space. The distribution of divers and the number of guides makes it very comfortable and not overcrowded. It is my second time on this boat and I highly recommend it,

Ten unforgettable days of world-class diving in Raja Ampat aboard the White Manta
Fantastic 10-day diving trip aboard White Manta in Raja Ampat. The boat is spacious and comfortable, cabins were clean, and everything was well organized. The dive guides and crew were excellent — professional, safety-focused, and very knowledgeable. Diving was outstanding with incredible coral, huge schools of fish, mantas, sharks, and great variety throughout the trip. Food was plentiful and delicious, and the overall service was top-notch. An unforgettable Raja Ampat experience. Highly recommended.

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.

Your most epic dive adventure awaits...
Seeing all of the charismatic megafauna- Thresher sharks, Whale sharks, Turtles, schooling barracuda, Manta rays- the list goes on. A highlight for me was going to Sangalakki and being a part of the baby turtle release. This was very special! The crew were amazing. The service and food was top notch. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

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.

Remote dive excursion with no other divers
Super time on Board, nice staff and plenty of space to relax in between the dives. This trip is for people who like remote sites with no other boat's. Good spots with healthy reefs, full of fish and reef sharks.

Great trip on the White Manta.
This was a great trip. Nacho manages the boat in a friendly and professional manner, he and his team worked extra hard to make everyone comfortable while experiencing the best diving at Raja Ampat. The room for photography was terrific, we could live our equipment there, in our dedicated desks, ready for the next dive. I had a top floor cabin and it was super comfortable, roomy and with internal and external access. The food was fine, varied and plenty, as one would expect of good liveaboards. The White Manta is a good vessel, we had a rough overnight crossing and it coped with it very well. While it is not a new boat and certain areas may do with a refresh, everything worked well and we were very comfortable. Indeed, I preferred it to the much newer one I used in Philipines, it was more relaxed and enjoyable. We were also lucky to have a nice bunch of people on board, while this is a matter of luck, perhaps it attracts the right (to me) kind of customers. The crew was terrific, I am especially gratefull to Nacho, Ricky Our DM, and the cheerful guy who serviced our room, they offered an excellent service. Last and important point, each DM was in charge of four divers, wich compares well against other liveaboards where you could have six divers per DM. No fuss or BS, just good quality service and diving. I will be happy to return.
