GBBucketlist Galapagos adventure on the Explorer Humbolt. The crews and guides of explorerventures have been unmatched! The level of service these professionals provided seemed effortless but did not go unnoticed. With added events pointed out for us, such as the volcanic eruption while navigating to Darwin, the Milky Way, and all of the underwater creatures and life. We searched topside for penguins and found blue-footed boobies, red ballooned friggets, sea lion pups and dolphins. Then safety led into the depths and currents for the walls of hammerheads, turtles, morays, rays and never ending fish. Of course the Galapagos was breathtaking above and below the water, but without the skills and entertainment of the crew it would not have been as memorable! A special Thankyou to our Humbolt crew: Captain Carlos, Jonathan, Fransico, Ivan, Leo, George, Roberto, Alfredo, Hector, Dive guides Ronnie and Natalia, and Land guide Dave.

PRAwesome 5 stars I would highly recommend diving in the Galapagos with the explorer ventures Humboldt Explorer boat. Our dive guides were Oscar and Ronnie, they rocked! The entire crew team were so kind and helpful, as my first board it was an awesome experience. I am vegetarian, and there were several people with gluten allergies, vegan etc, the chef made wonderful meals for all of us! The only thing I’d recommend to do differently is allowing tipping with a credit card, Venmo, or PayPal - since carrying a lot of cash is difficult! Or, let people know ahead of time that cash is the only option!

FRBest diving week in the Galapagos! Amazing boat, crew and dive guides! We had a wonderful week in the Galapagos, saw plenty of marine life (turtles, Galapagos and Hammerhead sharks, manta rays, eagle rays…). The food was amazing, the rooms and all commun spaces super comfy. We really enjoyed our time and the crew made it even more special (thanks again!). We would definitely recommend anyone to dive with the Tiburon explorer and we hope to come back soon!!

GBcan all these great reviews be wrong? Can all these great reviews be wrong? Actually...…no! Re: Blue Manta Raja Ampat 19-29/2/24. The diving was superb, the boat was ideal (being stable, safety conscious, well equipped & comfortable), the crew were spot on (a special thanks to super-spotter dive guide Vigley & extremely professional cruise director Cedric) & the food was good - what else do you want?! (perhaps anti-skid overlays on the below decks wooden stairs)
