Due to a late cancellation, White Manta is offering this trip at a 20% discount. Explore Triton Bay, snorkel with whalesharks and explore some of the most spectacular dive sites of the region. The New White Manta liveaboard is a modern steel hull boat, well-equipped, ideal for a comfortable trip in Raja Ampat.
Triton Bay really does feel like you are entering a time capsule from the past. The underwater landscape provides similarly impressive level of soft coral coverage as places like Misool while the marine life never fails to impress, with huge schools of untroubled trevallies & jacks, plenty of macro superstars, squadrons of Bumped parrotfish and ever-present turtles.
Triton Bay’s black coral forests are awesome in scale and never fail to impress, while above the water the landscape is also fascinating with lush green forests, stunning sunsets & sunrises, and a real sense that you are exploring a true wilderness. Not many Liveaboards visit this region and the sense of true exploration & privilege to visit this region is undeniable.
Day 1 or Day 5 will have a chance snorkel with whale sharks where there are fishing platforms called Bagans, off a small village, Namatota Island.
