Perfect trip every time with the mantas, turtles, and whale sharks!
I am so grateful for my experience on the Macana boats. This was my fifth time, and I could not be happier. The food, the staff, and the beautiful sea life make my heart happy. I truly love experiencing the manta rays, turtles, and whale sharks each time I come. I highly recommend every single time!

Great experience!
Beautiful and very well organized liveaboard. On each dive, we were able to observe many species of sharks. We were also lucky enough to see many manta rays and a whale shark. Some dives were stronger drift dives. Many thanks to Martina our professional dive guide. She showed us a lot and gave us great support when we had difficulties.We will be very happy to come back!

Dream trip of life time
First: The boat is very beautiful, I have been on many Liveaboard and this one for the first time makes me feel really HOME. The wooden bed is in a twin cabin and I do feel super private in my own bed with a real mattress. Hot warm water for a shower after dive, a refrigerator that works very well in my cabin. A/C is work prefect also in the cabin. Second: The Food is just amazing every meal as we have three courses..starter main and dessert or fresh fruits. The food on this boat is truly excellent. Third: The Dive ..all I can say is just Wow ! our week is under the best weather in the Maldives, zero rain, best visibility underwater. I have seen the best version of diving in the Maldives on this trip I will forever remember manta madness hovering above my head at the cleaning station .. Sharks, baby sharks.. turtles .. countless blue line snappers, whale sharks, 20+ eagle rays at once schooling playing with the current. Giant moray eels of all kinds and giant sting rays etc. Forth: The Crews are the best all of them Team. Start from pick up and drop off, on the boat or during the dives. I can't thanks them the Team enough for offering me best experience of diving in Maldives. Thank you so much.

Fabulous varied diving on a great boat.
I did the Classic Maldives trip in September and had a wonderful time. I was lucky that the boat was not full, so space aboard and on the dive dhoni was great. Martina did a fabulous job as Cruise Director and staff were all friendly and helpful. Saw all the hoped for larger creatures.
