Tiburon Explorer is the luxury liveaboard leader in Galapagos. With bold spacious rooms and personalized service befitting one of the world’s top vessels, it’s no surprise divers are already raving about this incredible yacht. First launched in 2020 during the pandemic, this liveaboard didn’t get the recognition it deserved. Better late than never, let’s welcome Tiburon Explorer – the newest diving vessel in the Galapagos Islands. Read why the scuba industry is already falling head over heels for this liveaboard.

Top 5 reasons divers love Tiburon Explorer:

1. Built for safety

Tiburon Explorer was specifically designed by a team of professionals for Galapagos’ unique itinerary, taking into consideration every aspect of safety and comfort. Featuring a stable and secure reinforced metal hull, modern fire suppression system, state of the art battery charging system, two motorized tenders and easily accessible emergency escape staircases, you will feel safe and sound on board. Extensive crewmember training, certifications, and permanent night watch demonstrate Explorer Ventures’ commitment to operational excellence. In addition, Tiburon Explorer exceeds the designated Ecuadorian Covid standards, and all crew members are vaccinated. Divers can completely relax on board knowing they’re in good hands.

2. Attention to Detail

Stylish and functional, designers paid great attention to detail from bow to stern. All nine bright staterooms have private ocean views for Galapagos’ iconic scenery, including a raised lower deck with windows – a rarity on liveaboards. The cabins’ modern bathrooms are accompanied with spacious showers. Wide passageways and hallways mean no claustrophobia on board. In addition, each room has flexible bed configurations to accommodate small or large groups.

Extensive consideration was put into dive deck design, drawing on decades of experience from industry leaders. The archipelago’s conditions are sometimes challenging due to currents, so diving is conducted from pangas (tenders). Therefore, wide tender entrances have been established to ensure easy and safe access for guests in often choppy waters. The dive deck also has generous gear storage and individual charging stations. Photographers can rest at ease knowing their cameras will be secure on board and they can capture that school of hammerheads with a fully charged battery.

3. Endless Enjoyment

Adrenaline-filled diving by daytime and peaceful relaxation in the evening- Tiburon Explorer offers endless possibilities of enjoyment. Delight in a glass of wine on the covered seating area on the top deck or built-in bar, ease sore muscles in the hot tub under the stars, or stroll to the quiet bow and be the first person to cross the equator. With transit times of up to 16 hours in Galapagos, Tiburon Explorer ensures vacation tranquility by providing several entertainment options and creature comforts.

A notable delight is Tiburon Explorer’s remarkable itinerary. On top of diving at Galapagos’ hot spots Darwin and Wolf Islands for three days, this liveaboard also offers a half day at Cabo Douglas for in-water sightings of endemic marine iguanas and a half day at Punta Vincente Roca for an opportunity to spot rare mola mola. Divers will cherish their holiday knowing they’ve seen all the best Galapagos has to offer.

4. Next Level Amenities

A 5-star floating hotel, Tiburon Explorer puts guest comfort first and foremost. With personalized cooling systems, ample bathroom and closet space, comfortable master staterooms, a contemporary salon, and up-to-date entertainment system, divers will forget they’re on a liveaboard.
You can even choose the atmosphere for your dining experience. Indoor in the refined dining area or al-fresco outdoor watching the sunset over Darwin. The professional chef serves decadent Ecuadorian and Western cuisine, plus caters to those with special diets providing scrumptious gluten free and vegan foods. This liveaboard offers all the amenities that turn a good diving vacation into an exceptional one.

5. Distinctive Service

It’s all hands-on deck for Tiburon Explorer. The crew of 10 exceed expectations in every aspect of your holiday for a highly personalized service. They don’t just respond to divers’ needs but anticipate them. This is what sets Tiburon Explorer apart. All staff, including the captain, genuinely care about each person’s needs. They transport luggage, assist with panga entry and exit, and help you put on fins. Private dive guides can be hired for an additional price, a bonus for avid photographers. Along with rinsing diving equipment daily and keeping rooms above-and-beyond clean, they are always there right when you need them. It’s 5-star service at its best. There’s a reason guests report being “spoiled for life.”
