Blue Manta 8D7N

As your exciting 8-day journey on the Blue Manta Liveaboard comes to an end, it’s time to think about all the fantastic adventures and memories you’ve made while exploring the beautiful underwater worlds of Raja Ampat and Misool.

Our dedicated staff has been working hard to make sure you are comfortable and safe on every dive and trip since you were warmly welcomed on board at Sorong Airport or your local hotel.

Every dive location has shown off the incredible beauty and variety of Indonesia’s underwater life, from the colorful coral reefs in Misool’s Wayil region to the stunning views in Pianemu’s Melissa’s Garden.

The amazing manta rays you saw at Manta Ridge and the exhilarating dives you did at Kri’s Big Fish and Cape Kri have transformed the way you dive forever. The quiet beauty of Misokon Island’s Blue Magic and Yellow Fever dives gave you times of peace and wonder.

As you are ready to board at Usahamina port in Sorong, take some time to remember the fun things you did last week and the people you made along the way. If you’re still on your journey to see Indonesia’s beautiful sights or if you’re going home, know that adventure and discovery will always be around you.

On behalf of the complete Blue Manta Liveaboard crew, we want to thank you from the bottom of our hearts for choosing to start this amazing journey with us. May your journeys be full of surprises and new things to learn till we meet again under the water. Have a safe trip, and may the memories of your time on the Blue Manta Liveaboard Indonesia stay with you forever.
