A Trip of a Lifetime
We had a wonderful time on the Tiburon Explorer. Everyone was attentive and informative. The boat and cabins were beautiful, spacious, and food was excellent. The crew made sure we had everything we needed. We had lots of assistance with gear. Our cabins were kept clean with made beds and fresh towels daily. We had a couple land tours that were informative about the islands ecology. Overall, it was a wonderful experience and checked all our expectations.

We cannot ask for more.
The dive guides are superb and the dives are spectacular. The cooks and the bartender. The gorgeous cabin with a large shower that overlooked the ocean. The common room is superbly decorated and furnished.In my opinion, land visits could be improved

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
