Saying Goodbye to Raja Ampat again!

As the spring 2018 season comes to an end in Raja Ampat, and we say our final goodbyes to the guests, it dawned upon us that soon it will be time to leave this underwater paradise in West Papua. With each passing trip, conditions continue to improve. 20+ meter visibility, gigantic schools of fishes, and endless critters are now the norm.

KM Raja Manta’s 2017 Sangalaki season will soon be coming to an end, with just two further trips in the area before we return across the Halmahera sea to renew our Raja Ampat & Banda Sea adventures.

Lembeh,Bangka,Sangihe Island 29-Apr 06-May-17

For this trip Raja Manta made a cruise to an area where virtually no other boats operate anymore. We used our long term dive masters Anto and Stanny's experience in the Sangihe islands, where they had dived over 7 years ago. The whole region proved to be stunning both above & below the waves, with mighty smoking Volcanoes standing guard over azure blue waters packed with amazing marine life. AFter this trip we cannot wait to return!
