Incredibly beautiful trip
I had the most amazing time aboard the Tiburon Explorer in the Galapagos. The dives were beautiful and truly memorable. We were lucky to have a fantastic dive group—everyone was very experienced, which made each dive even more enjoyable and easy. The staff was attentive, helpful, kind, and professional, and I especially appreciated that the captain personally did buddy checks to make sure everyone reached the zodiac safely and properly equipped. The food on board was delicious, with a rich and varied cuisine that made every meal something to look forward to. All in all, it was a beautiful trip and an unforgettable experience.

Best Liveaboard EVER!
This liveaboard exceeded my expectations. I’ve never had so much help before and after a dive with getting gear on/off. It was fantastic and made the dive experience so much better! Our guides were also amazing. The captain even came down and did final tank checks before we got into the panga. Absolutely amazing service and beautiful boat!

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!

Unique diving and boat experience
100% recommended! The boat is very, very comfortable (big rooms, very clean, small group), the food is delicious (be prepared to game some weight ;-)), the service of the crew is first class! The dives are amazing, be prepared for some current and many animals.
