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.

Review for Tiburon Explorer Liveaboard in the Galapagos Islands
If I could give this experience 10 stars, I absolutely would. The week I spent aboard the Tiburon Explorer in the Galapagos Islands was nothing short of extraordinary. The boat itself is fantastic – modern, spacious, and meticulously maintained. Every detail has been thoughtfully designed to ensure maximum comfort and convenience for divers. The crew on the Tiburon Explorer is truly exceptional. They went above and beyond to make sure every guest felt welcomed, comfortable, and well taken care of. Their professionalism and friendliness created a warm and inviting atmosphere that made this trip unforgettable. The food was another highlight of the trip. Every meal felt like a gourmet experience, with a variety of delicious dishes that catered to all tastes. Whether it was a hearty breakfast, a sumptuous lunch, or a delightful dinner, the culinary team delivered time and time again. But what really sets this liveaboard apart is the focus on providing an unparalleled diving experience. The diving in the Galapagos is like watching an IMAX movie unfold right before your eyes. The underwater landscapes are teeming with life, and every dive was filled with awe-inspiring encounters with marine creatures. The dive guides were incredibly knowledgeable and made sure we were always in the right place at the right time to witness the wonders of the ocean. Having been a diver for nearly 50 years, I can confidently say that this was the best diving experience I’ve ever had. The Tiburon Explorer and its crew made this a truly exceptional adventure. I cannot recommend this boat and cruise more highly. If you’re looking for a once-in-a-lifetime diving trip, the Tiburon Explorer in the Galapagos should be at the top of your list.

Memorable diving trip!!
We were only 9 divers on this cruise and received a top level and remarkable service (a real family!) from our two guides Victor and Natalia as well as the crew. A word about Natalia who is an exceptional guide, enthusiastic both underwater and out of the water, she creates a unique atmosphere while being super professional. The team took great care of us, both the captain and the sailors and the service team. Exceptional manta dives in interactions (6 simultaneously), dolphins, sea lions, sharks, birds...... sometimes very strong current. The desire to go back there in the dry season is more than strong!! I highly recommend!!
