Explorer Ventures Liveaboard Diving FleetReviews of explorerventures.com

What a great week of diving! The lack of day boats from Saba opened the park to us and the excellent guidance from Kirsten, Gabe, Dale, and even purser Sarah allowed us to dive sites not normally visited. My non-diving wife especially enjoyed Gabe's educational dive briefings. While we never found any seahorses, we did see a baby humpback whale and a hammerhead shark! Throw in too-numerous-to-count turtles and rays and the beautiful reefs of Saba and you have a week of diving to remember. When not diving, chef Julian always had something delicious prepared, usually including freshly-baked bread. Captain Bob expertly maneuvered the boat to put us right on top of the few dive sites we hot dropped onto and was always good for interesting and pleasant conversation when not at the helm. Add in engineer Terance's behind-the-scenes maintenance and you have the recipe for a perfect stress-free week of excellent diving. Thanks again to the crew - we look forward to seeing you again, hopefully soon!

I can a not say enough about this crew. This was my first liveaboard trip and they made it AMAZING. It is truly magical when a team can be so professional and yet like family from the moment they meet you at the marina. My group was even blessed to have Capt. Nelson that week. What an amazing time we had learning and enjoying each other's time as a group. Dive briefings were awesome and spot on to each of our dives. I recommend the Saba team to anyone looking to venture to not only beautiful diving and a life experience to open spaces, new faces and living life to the fullest. I look forward to more adventures with Explorer Ventures.

Everything was perfect. Thank you to Jennifer Cumming for responding to all of our emails. Thank you so much to the staff for the impeccable service. Everyone was so kind and so fun. The guests were so happy. I loved every minute. It was a very special trip.

The Amazing super attentive crew, incredible service and great food made the trip even more memorable . I never wanted to go home . The dive briefings and dive masters and instructors were too notch. I have been on countless liveaboards and this was one of the beat crews I have ever encountered ( and the boat was immaculate as well ). Thank you for making my dive trip one of the best ever !

My wife and I booked a trip to the Galapagos Islands in January 2021 on the Humboldt Explorer. Explorer Ventures was very responsive and gave us all the information that we needed prior to departure. They also helped us navigate through new procedures and protocols In mainland Ecuador and in Galapagos, due to the Covid-19 pandemic. Once on board the yacht, we had a fantastic cruise, seeing many of the things that Galapagos is famous for, including hammerhead sharks, sea lions, iguanas and lots of birds. The rooms were comfortable, the staff was great and the food was amazing. The diving operation was well organized and the divemasters were knowledgeable. All in all it was an excellent cruise and I would highly recommend it to anyone looking to explore these enchanted islands.

We had a wonderful trip. The staff/crew were wonderful and always trying to be helpful. The food was gourmet. And the boat was new and beautiful. The main event was diving and could not have been more spectacular. Our dive guides Paulo and George were terrific, our panga driver Miguel was always there for us. A big thanks to those three. From the dive briefings to the crew helping us to get into our gear, get the gear off, and the close attention provided to us by the crew, it could not have been better. This was a great trip. I can definitely recommend this trip and the Tiburon to everyone.

Outstanding experience, professional crew, great food, very well organized, accommodating to diverse skill sets and needs, highly recommend.

THIS TRIP IS A MUST! Everything from the boat, to the crew, to the Galapagos themselves was 10/10... True experience of a life time :)
