The luxurious five-star liveaboard, Blue Manta offers an exceptional and unparalleled diving adventure to the world-class sites of Indonesia.
As the most comfortable liveaboard in Indonesia, the Blue Manta allows divers to explore pristine coral reefs in Raja Ampat, the Banda Islands, Komodo, and Sulawesi. Indonesia, a premier scuba destination, teems with diverse marine life, including whale sharks, gigantic rays, and 20% of the world's reefs. This dive safari holiday is renowned for its legendary dragons, vibrant corals, pinnacles, sheer walls, manta rays, and the possibility of spotting the rare dugong.
Blue Manta caters to underwater photographers with camera-friendly facilities, such as individual rinse tanks, a wide outdoor work table, an indoor dry camera room, blow-dry stations, and small dive groups (4 photographers: 1 guide).
The spacious and beautiful Blue Manta, at 148 feet (45m) long, is staffed by 20 experienced and friendly English and Indonesian-speaking crew members. This luxurious yacht accommodates 22 guests in 14 of the roomiest cabins on any Indonesian liveaboard. Air-conditioned cabins include Deluxe Twin share cabins on the Lower Deck with twin beds and porthole windows, Deluxe Double cabins on the Upper Deck with a double bed, a single bed, and large windows, and Deluxe cabins on the Main Deck with a double bed, a single bed, and large windows. All cabins feature portholes or windows, private bathrooms with hot showers, ample storage, fresh towels daily, tables, power points with 2 and 3 pin sockets, and individual climate controls.
The crew on the Blue Manta goes the extra mile to create the ambiance of a fine hotel while providing the beauty and freedom of being at sea. Guests can relax and be pampered by attentive staff, enjoying classy cabins or the air-conditioned Main Lounge with a large-screen TV and DVD player for movies or music. The Blue Manta is Wi-Fi connected via satellite, offering 24-hour internet access. Stay connected with family and friends and upload your incredible photos.
Unwind at the bar with an adult beverage and discuss the day’s dives, or indulge in a massage from one of the two onboard masseuses. Relax on the shaded sun deck in a cushioned lounge chair as the yacht sails past sun-kissed, white beach-trimmed islands. There's ample deck space to nap in the sun, enjoy the warm breeze, and admire the breathtaking seascapes.
Outstanding food is a crucial criterion for a liveaboard, and the Blue Manta ensures you won't be disappointed. Three onboard chefs prepare five meals daily, starting with freshly baked breads. The extensive range of culinary delights includes Western, Indo, and Thai-style cuisines. Meals are served buffet-style or à la carte in the fine dining main saloon or outdoor seating with panoramic views of tropical islands and brilliantly blue waters. The crew understands the need to keep divers fueled, providing snacks between meals. Water, tea, coffee, snacks, and soft drinks are included, with alcohol available for purchase.
