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

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
- Recommended for
- The entire staff is aware of every detail, from placing your fins on the boat to helping you put on your suit. The variety and quality of the meals and the cocktails. The bartender is magnificent. The initial talk about safety and on tour to show us the emergency exits.

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!!
