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 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!

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

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!!!

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!

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.
