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!

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.

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.
