Expect your expectations to be exceeded
To long I had diving at Galapagos on my bucket list.
The Trip on the Tiburon with Explorer Ventures was worth all the effort for this travel.
The boat, the crew and the guides had been a top combination. Nothing where you could find the smallest thing to complain.
The diving itself was Galapagos like. I never had so much fish, so many sharks, so many turtles. Seals for the first time. Of course also Iguanas. And on top also my first whale shark after 37 years of diving.
Just one thing that you have to be aware. For the diving expect cold water. I knew in advance that it might get cool. But not that it can that cool. Water temp. was in the range of 24°C (75F), down to 15°C (59F).
And now I have to go threw all of my pictures and videos of this trip. I think this will take longer as the trip itself.

Hello Wolfgang, Your feedback means the world to us! Knowing that Tiburon Explorer delivered an amazing experience for you in the Galapagos is exactly what we strive for. From the diving to the crew and everything in between, we’re happy it all made for an unforgettable bucket-list trip. Hope to dive with you again soon!
Good experience with room for improvement
The crew was great!
The boat is above average.
Standard Al 80 tanks is local norm but insufficient and unsafe for the type of diving
Dive egress without equipment was inconvenient and risk associated
The food quality was inconsistent ranging from excellent to bad. Also lacking proactivity to understand the dietary limitations
The liquid and hydration access was not sufficient

Hi Otto, thank you for sharing your experience and for highlighting the great service from our crew. We’re glad to hear you enjoyed many aspects of your trip with us.
To clarify a couple of details: our vessels carry both AL80 and AL100 tanks. While AL80s are the global standard for recreational diving, larger tanks are always available upon request. Your group preferred the larger tanks and used AL100s throughout the week.
Our chef works hard to balance variety with individual dietary needs, and we always do our best to accommodate requests. As in this case, we also communicate with guests and group leaders prior to each trip regarding special diets, so expectations are clear on what can realistically be provided. While not every specific food item can be available at every meal, each meal does include a protein option, along with fruit and vegetables.
For hydration, the Humboldt Explorer is equipped with two water dispensers (each with a 5-gallon jug) — one on the dive deck and another in the covered dining area — as well as coffee, tea, and soft drinks, all stocked and available for self-service at any time to help keep everyone refreshed.
We truly appreciate your feedback and are pleased you enjoyed the crew and the boat overall. Wishing you many more wonderful diving adventures ahead!
An absolutely fabulous trip!
An absolutely fabulous trip!
The crew on the Humboldt Explorer went above and beyond for us every minute of every day. Everyone - including the captain! - rallied on the dive deck to help us in and out of wetsuits and gear before and after dives. They helped us hang everything up, washed everything thoroughly every few days, hosed off BCDs with clean water every evening, and draped towels on us after dives. Anytime anyone had an issue with gear someone was there to fix it for us.
Our dive guides were both amazing, and led safe, excellent, and entertaining dives. You could tell they both just really love diving and the Galapagos, and that really shone through in their briefings and excitement level before and after dives. It didn’t seem like just a job, but a real passion. It was a really wonderful experience and I can’t wait to go back!

Hello Marie, We truly appreciate your kind words! Safety, comfort, and world-class diving are top priorities for us, and we’re so happy to hear that Humboldt Explorer and crew delivered an incredible experience in the Galapagos. We’d love to have you back on board for another round of spectacular dives!
Turks and Caicos Explorer II
I recently spent a week aboard the Turks and Caicos Explorer II, and overall, it was a memorable and positive experience. The diving was excellent, the crew was professional and attentive, and the food was absolutely outstanding—easily among the best I’ve had on any liveaboard. Thank you, Miguel, for meals that were creative, fresh, and consistently delicious!
The boat itself was comfortable and well-organized, and the dive schedule was full without feeling rushed. The staff worked incredibly hard to make the trip smooth and enjoyable. I really appreciated having Dee on board—she was particularly engaged and knowledgeable, and her expertise as a marine biologist was a real asset to the trip.
That said, while the service from the crew was top-notch, it was hard not to notice a disconnect between their professionalism and how they were spoken to—or about—by those in charge. It didn’t impact the logistics of the trip, but it did color the atmosphere in subtle and uncomfortable ways.
I’d definitely consider sailing with Explorer Ventures again for the diving and the crew—but I hope the company takes a closer look at how its management culture shows up on board.

That’s always a compliment the crew takes pride in. We’d love to have you back aboard the anywhere in the fleet and hope you come dive with us again soon!
Trip of a lifetime.
What an incredibly well run trip. I have just come away from a 14 day voyage on the Humbolt Explorer and am totally impressed by the whole experience.
The crew are outstanding, from the operation on the boat, preparing delicious food throughout the day, keeping the cabins spotles, manning the zodiac and helping on the dive deck.
The dive team were so skill full and knowledgeable. They kept us safe in the water and took us on some of the best dives I have experienced. Hammer heads, nudibranch, seal lions, marine iguanas, mobulas, mantas and whale sharks. It was a megafauna and mucrofauna extravaganza.
Thank you all for a trip of a lifetime.

Hi John, thank you for the fantastic review! We’re so happy to hear that your time aboard Humboldt Explorer was everything you hoped for. The Galapagos is truly one of the most incredible dive destinations in the world, and we’re thrilled you got to experience it with us. Thank you for sharing about your experience here. We hope to have you back on board for another adventure soon!
The crew was great
The crew was great! The boat is old and outdated, rooms are very small. Only hot water for a shower and to brush your teeth, this is absurd! You need a air conditioned dining room so you can eat without sweat running down your back. I would not recommend!

The crew was fun and I enjoyed getting to know them, the food was amazing and they were very accommodating for dietary needs. The diving was amazing and we saw many beautiful reefs, sea life, and shipwrecks. The land tours were a nice cultural touch and the trip was well organized. I made many wonderful memories with charished friends.

The crew was superior. The effort to give us a great experience was awesome. The dive guides, Ronnie and Victor were incredible. The little things too, like coming off a dive and having juice or a snack, warm towels, assistance with gear were amazing.

A Magical Galapagos Adventure
I spent a week on the Tiburon Explorer in the Galapagos this summer. It was truly an unforgettable experIence. The entire staff and dive masters were wonderful. I felt safe and well looked after both on board and while diving. The food and beverages were delicious. Our room was cleaned every day, and the boat was very comfortable. The crew even had a party for us at the end of the week. It was great fun! I highly recommend spending time on this boat and exploring the beauty of Galapagos.

Humbolt Explorer: Great trip except the the last day
Humbolt Explorer Galapagos: Great trip except the the last day. Great diving and boat staff.
EDIT: Explorer Adventures reached out. They explained that the restaurant should not have charged guests for staff meals as the staff are provided free meals from the restaurant. Basically the restaurant overcharged the guests and not the fault of Explorer Adventures. Changed review from 3 to 5 stars.
However on the last day, the staff arranged dinner on land. The staff invited their friends and when settling the bill, the guests were expected to pay for the entire staff and their friends dinner. No guest were notified before hand that the guests were expected to pay for the staff and their friends dinner and drinks. Every guests bill increased about 50% since we needed to pay for other people.
Explorer Ventures: If you actually read this. Please train your staff on setting proper expectations if guests are required to pay for staff (and their friends) dinner and drinks. At least notify guests they need to pay and not tell guests that when the credit card machine is in their face.

Excellent service by everyone from the Captain down to housekeeping staff. The diving spots were well selected and the dive guides were well-prepared and attentive and funny. The food was superb, and we had more than enough food and drinks. The boat was very clean and in good shape although our friends said that one of the cabins below deck had terrible fuel fumes forcing them to transfer rooms. The land tours were great, too. Overall a fantastic trip!

Galapagos Tauchsafaris ist nichts für Beginner!
Tauchen auf den Galapagos ist unglaublich schön. Allerdings sind die Tauchgebiete um Wolf und Dawin kein Anfänger-Tauchgebiet! Auf unserer Tour waren von 15 Teilnehmer min. 5 Teilnehmer Tauchanfänger und weitere mit sehr geringer Taucherfahrung. ....Glück gehabt: Auf unserer Reise ist nichts passiert und die Tour musste nicht abgebrochen werden!

Vielen Dank für Ihre Bewertung. Wir freuen uns, dass Sie das Tauchen auf den Galápagos-Inseln wirklich atemberaubend fanden.
Obwohl es sich um eines der außergewöhnlichsten Tauchziele der Welt handelt, können die Bedingungen starke Strömungen und gelegentlich raue See beinhalten – insbesondere rund um Wolf und Darwin. Aus diesem Grund informieren wir Sie vor der Reise klar und deutlich darüber, was Sie erwartet. Obwohl es letztlich jedem zertifizierten Taucher überlassen bleibt, ob die Umgebung seinen Fähigkeiten und seinem Komfortniveau entspricht, Wir empfehlen allen Tauchern, bereits Erfahrung mit ähnlich anspruchsvollen Tauchgängen zu haben.
Wir freuen uns über das 5-Sterne-Feedback, das Sie unserer Crew an Bord gegeben haben, Dies spiegelt die Erfahrungen anderer Teilnehmer Ihres Charters wider, die sich unterstützt fühlten und eine sichere, angenehme Reise hatten.
Wenn Sie noch weitere Fragen haben, kontaktieren Sie uns gerne direkt. Viel Spaß beim Tauchen!
From English: Thank you for your review. We're glad you found the diving in the Galápagos as breathtaking as it truly is.
While it’s one of the most extraordinary dive destinations in the world, conditions can include strong currents and occasionally rough seas—especially around Wolf and Darwin. That’s why we provide clear pre-trip information about what to expect. While it’s ultimately up to each certified diver to decide whether the environment matches their skill and comfort level, we do recommend all divers have prior experience with similarly challenging dives.
We appreciate the 5-star feedback you shared with our crew while onboard, which echoed the experiences of others on your charter who noted feeling supported and having a safe, enjoyable trip. If there’s anything more you’d like to discuss, we’d be happy to connect directly.
Happy diving!
Best liveaboard I’ve been on!
Beside the best diving I’ve experienced, the service was spectacular. Extremely helpful and friendly crew! Vessel is kept clean and in good condition. I will be diving with them again for sure
