The best diving you'll ever do on the best boat, with the best crew.
I cannot say enough amazing things about my liveaboard trip on the Tiburon Explorer. The boat looks exactly like the photos - sleek interiors and the most incredible cabins - so spacious! We enjoyed the hot tub after nearly every dive and had hours chatting and tanning on the sundeck. The food was so fresh, healthy and creative. However, the top highlights were the dives (duh, it's the Galapagos! We saw hundreds of hammerheads, WHALE SHARKS (on 4 of our dives at Darwin), mola molas, iguanas, seals, dolphins, it's simply the best diving in the world) -- and another highlight was the service from the crew, guides, and captain. I was absolutely blown away. Pre and post-dive, 5-star service - helping you adjust your gear, zip your wetsuit, put on your gloves; serving hot chocolate after cold dives; hanging your wetsuits and organizing all your gear for the next dive. When getting ready; I never had to ask for help; someone was just always there ready to assist. The captain (Jacinto) was at the dive deck during every single dive, helping check our gear and standing with the crew welcoming us back when we returned. Another example of above & beyond hospitality - we encountered poor visibility on our first day at Wolf Island; the next day we arrived at Darwin to much better visibility and whale sharks!!! Our group was elated and our guide (the incredible Jonathan!) mentioned that we might be able to have the captain request to stay another day at Darwin. We talked to the captain and he immediately contacted the park authorities and arranged for us to stay an extra day; where we had another 2 dives with whale shark encounters. The interior staff was amazing as well, remembering our preferences and always smiling. I have been diving for quite a while and have never seen a operation so well organized and efficient. I also worked in luxury hotels for years -- this was truly a luxury liveaboard experience. I've recommended it to all my friends and will absolutely be back on the Tiburon Explorer again. Hats off to the entire crew!

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!!!

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...
