Outstanding service, amazing diving.
The crew was amazing with even the captain helping with gear and checking every diver before every dive to ensure they were set to dive. The dives were very good. We saw many things for the first time. Our cabin, are including the bathroom, was spacious and very comfortable.

Best Liveaboard Imaginable!
It was an absolutely wonderful experience. Our beds were made and towels reset within 20 minutes of us leaving our room every morning. They provided warm towels after every dive. There was way too much food and it was all delicious. The staff was unbelievably attentive and knowledgeable. The diving was excellent!!! I would go back again without hesitation.

Obviously the diving was hand’s down amazing. But what really set this trip apart from others is the AMAZING crew on board. You could tell they all enjoyed their jobs and were wonderful to talk with.

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
