There are currently no trips available on Raja Manta.

KM Raja Manta is a 36 metre long steel-hulled motor yacht, launched in April 2011 and designed to accommodate up to 20 divers on tours around some of Indonesia's best dive destinations, including Raja Ampat, the Banda Sea and Sangalaki. This purpose-built Indonesia liveaboard manages to be practical and spacious with a range of different cabins from Standard to Deluxe.

Described as being built by divers for scuba divers, there is an enormous dive deck with plenty of space to gear up, even on a full boat. There is also a spacious and practical dive platform and nitrox is available. Guests tend to relax in the air-conditioned saloon which is comfortable and well-appointed, with full entertainment system. Sun lovers head for the expansive sun deck which has shaded and unshaded sections. You will dine in the open air dining section enjoying the ever changing views of the Indonesian archipelago, or in the saloon if you prefer.

Most of the cabins have ensuite bathrooms and are located on the middle or upper deck. They have large windows allowing for views and plenty of natural light. Only the standard cabins are on the lower deck have shared bathrooms. The combination of diving in Indonesia on a luxurious, spacious liveaboard trip is a winner. For comfort and style when diving the Raja Ampat, Banda and Sangalaki, the experienced KM Raja Manta crew is now a great choice.

"Very nice and professional staff, clean boat in good condition, good organisation" - Paulina Mydlowska, Germany, 11 March 2018 ...

"We have enjoyed 4 great days on board of the KM Raja Manta with our dive instructor Michael, who made us feel save and comfortable at all times. The staff and crew have always been very friendly and helpful, offering a great service and creating a wonderful atmosphere.
The staff has always been well prepared and gave us more detailed information and safety instructions before every dive as we would have expected. Facilities and our cabin were clean and have been made up every day." - Stefanie Phoenix, Germany, 12 December 2014 ...

"We rented pieces of equipment (bcd, regulator, fins) which were in good shape. The KM Raja Manta staff was very friendly and efficient. The facilities were more than comfortable. The guides knew what they were doing, they knew the diving sites quite well." - Pierre Paquette, Canada,13 March 2014 ...

"Fantastic boat, food, crew and diving set up. Can't fault anything." - Marie Hughes, Scotland, 10 March 2014 ...

"Staff are friendly, facilities are nice, service are excellent, food are delicious" - JS Jessie, China, 15 January 2014 ...

"All the staff on the KM Raja Manta were fantastic. The crew on the dive deck was on us like we were royalty - they lifted our tanks for us, clipped our fins on our feet when we were in the zodiacs heading for the dive sites, zipped up our wetsuits, handed us weight belts, etc etc etc. They were completely on top of everything. The minute we finished a dive, they were there grabbing weight belts, fins, BCs, helping us into the zodiac, and they had hot towels for us after every dive." - Deborah Fryer, USA, 16 January 2013 ...

"The services we received were excellent. The dive staff and liveaboard crew made the trip enjoyable for divers and non-divers, adults and kids." - Matt Gibbons, USA, 3 April 2012 ...
