Tiburon Explorer, Galápagos

Best dive boat I've ever been on

I don't know if I can put into words how amazing this trip was. Sure, seeing the incredible sea animals was over the top, but much more importantly, the crew was kind, courteous, attentive. I'm not the diver I used to be, and they took special Care to keep me safe. They let me put my gear on in the panga, which was so sweet. Also taking our gear off in the water before getting back in the panga was a godsend. I think I developed a crush on my dive guides. Very knowledgeable, very professional, and it didn't hurt that they were both very attractive! If only I was 40 years younger!

The crew was remarkable. The food was incredible. The boat is premier..

Amazing Galapagos experience which provided all the highlights and more!

We saw whale sharks, hundreds of hammerheads, Galapagos, Silky, & tiger sharks plus penguins, dolphins, turtles, marine iguanas and tons of birds. The crew was great, I had so much appreciation for their help getting in and out of the 7 mm wet suit & gear.

Juan Carlos. Whale Sharks. 1000’s of Hammerheads.

The best diving you'll ever do on the best boat, with the best crew.

I cannot say enough amazing things about my liveaboard trip on the Tiburon Explorer. The boat looks exactly like the photos - sleek interiors and the most incredible cabins - so spacious! We enjoyed the hot tub after nearly every dive and had hours chatting and tanning on the sundeck. The food was so fresh, healthy and creative. However, the top highlights were the dives (duh, it's the Galapagos! We saw hundreds of hammerheads, WHALE SHARKS (on 4 of our dives at Darwin), mola molas, iguanas, seals, dolphins, it's simply the best diving in the world) -- and another highlight was the service from the crew, guides, and captain. I was absolutely blown away. Pre and post-dive, 5-star service - helping you adjust your gear, zip your wetsuit, put on your gloves; serving hot chocolate after cold dives; hanging your wetsuits and organizing all your gear for the next dive. When getting ready; I never had to ask for help; someone was just always there ready to assist. The captain (Jacinto) was at the dive deck during every single dive, helping check our gear and standing with the crew welcoming us back when we returned. Another example of above & beyond hospitality - we encountered poor visibility on our first day at Wolf Island; the next day we arrived at Darwin to much better visibility and whale sharks!!! Our group was elated and our guide (the incredible Jonathan!) mentioned that we might be able to have the captain request to stay another day at Darwin. We talked to the captain and he immediately contacted the park authorities and arranged for us to stay an extra day; where we had another 2 dives with whale shark encounters. The interior staff was amazing as well, remembering our preferences and always smiling. I have been diving for quite a while and have never seen a operation so well organized and efficient. I also worked in luxury hotels for years -- this was truly a luxury liveaboard experience. I've recommended it to all my friends and will absolutely be back on the Tiburon Explorer again. Hats off to the entire crew!

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.
