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

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.

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!

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 liveaboard of my life
The largest whalesharks I've ever seen, bigger schools of hammerheads than I could imagine, sea lions playing with me during many safety stops, land trips to see amazing birds and turtles, marine iguanas feeding in an incredible landscape... this has been the best liveaboard of my life with no doubt. The divemasters were very professional and attentive, the boat is new and super luxury, very clean and with new diving equipment, the staff is always helping and the service is excellent. It has been waaay better than expected. Best destination in the world as for big stuff for sure...

Memorable diving trip!!
We were only 9 divers on this cruise and received a top level and remarkable service (a real family!) from our two guides Victor and Natalia as well as the crew. A word about Natalia who is an exceptional guide, enthusiastic both underwater and out of the water, she creates a unique atmosphere while being super professional. The team took great care of us, both the captain and the sailors and the service team. Exceptional manta dives in interactions (6 simultaneously), dolphins, sea lions, sharks, birds...... sometimes very strong current. The desire to go back there in the dry season is more than strong!! I highly recommend!!
