Customer Reviews of Liveaboard
Customer ReviewsThe Manta Mae Phinisi liveaboard customer reviews listed here have been chosen for you to get a feel for the scuba diving experience you'll get.
Customer Review
”Alone on the sea. With such a small group of guests, it was easy to find some alone time to enjoy the sea and the sky. The decks have ample covering, so you can find a shady spot if you aren’t trying to tan continuously. We were alone on the reefs 90% of the time, and usually dove in 2 groups of 4, which was great. The crew was super friendly. The cook is really good, and every meal was incredible. And they had an espresso machine! This trip was a dream, and I would definitely book again.” Recommended for: small groups, food, friendly crew.
Customer Review ByIsabelle M, from: United States scored the Manta Mae Phinisi 9.6 out of 10; Review courtesy of Liveaboard.com, for more reviews and information click here: Manta Mae Phinisi.
”Best diving in 35 years. Of course the oceanic world in Radja Ampat. Incredible biodiversity and looks like one of the last paradise on this planet. We were able to see Mantas, Turtels, Wobegongs etc. also plenty of macro life. Also some plastic garbage – hope Indonesia does all to protect their environment in the future.” Recommended for: 1. The boat itself. Charming, comfortable but not too . 2. The crew – very nice people 3. Ben – he is just a great guide with tons of knowledge.
