Review for Tiburon Explorer Liveaboard in the Galapagos Islands
If I could give this experience 10 stars, I absolutely would. The week I spent aboard the Tiburon Explorer in the Galapagos Islands was nothing short of extraordinary. The boat itself is fantastic – modern, spacious, and meticulously maintained. Every detail has been thoughtfully designed to ensure maximum comfort and convenience for divers. The crew on the Tiburon Explorer is truly exceptional. They went above and beyond to make sure every guest felt welcomed, comfortable, and well taken care of. Their professionalism and friendliness created a warm and inviting atmosphere that made this trip unforgettable. The food was another highlight of the trip. Every meal felt like a gourmet experience, with a variety of delicious dishes that catered to all tastes. Whether it was a hearty breakfast, a sumptuous lunch, or a delightful dinner, the culinary team delivered time and time again. But what really sets this liveaboard apart is the focus on providing an unparalleled diving experience. The diving in the Galapagos is like watching an IMAX movie unfold right before your eyes. The underwater landscapes are teeming with life, and every dive was filled with awe-inspiring encounters with marine creatures. The dive guides were incredibly knowledgeable and made sure we were always in the right place at the right time to witness the wonders of the ocean. Having been a diver for nearly 50 years, I can confidently say that this was the best diving experience I’ve ever had. The Tiburon Explorer and its crew made this a truly exceptional adventure. I cannot recommend this boat and cruise more highly. If you’re looking for a once-in-a-lifetime diving trip, the Tiburon Explorer in the Galapagos should be at the top of your list.

Great Galapagos
Everyone really went out of their way to make things as easy as possible for the divers, they were patient with us, and everyone took the time to learn my name.

The best of the best!
I had high expectations of the trip, and it exceeded all of them! We had a group of wonderful other divers, absolutely amazing guides, and the crew were attentive and kind and full of humor. Our room was comfortable and luxurious, the food was good, and the diving was out of this world. It felt like paradise!

Excellent Scuba trip to Galapagos aboard Tiburon Explorer
My son and I had an amazing time scuba diving in the Galapagos aboard the Tiburon Explorer. The ship is new, built in 2020 and super luxury. The itinerary was excellent; we went to Darwin and Wolf islands, where most boats don't go. Throughout the week we saw hammerheads, whales, dolphins, rare penguins and birds. The staff is wonderful. Food was excellent. The only thing I would say is bring plenty of cash. No one takes credit cards or the fee is 6%. You have to pay for nitrox, tips, fuel surcharge and nature park ($200 pp) fees in cash. I would recommend bringing $500 per person

The best liveaboard I’ve been on!
The eight days went by so quickly. I think the highlights were definitely diving Wolf and Darwin, but all the dives were great. Alex and Ronnie are great divemasters. The Panga drivers were terrific. The entire staff were genuinely friendly and always went their extra mile. It was also a great group of guests. Fun folks and good divers! I loved this trip!!!

Simply amazing! This was a flawless trip. The dive sites and boat/crew were top notch!
The diving was comfortable and the crew has the process down to a science. The dive sites were amazing. The food was excellent and the entire crew were knowledgeable and helpful. I have zero complaints about the trip and am seriously considering going back at some point. The land excursions were great and added much value to the overall package. I highly recommend the Tiburon Explorer and it's crew. What a trip!

Absolutely a pleasure to sail on this ship with this crew; loved the experience, and we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves.
The entire trip was a pleasure. Very nice boat, and the crew were fantastic. Great food, and always caring for us. The diving was fantastic! They did their very best to help us enjoy the trip. We had 8 in our group and we had so much fun. Thank you to everyone involved, because this vacation was beautiful.
