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…
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

The staff on the Tiburon dive trip June 14-21 is fantastic! The two dive master, Kebin and Simon, are fantastic, knowledgeable, encouraging and safe. The boat crew did everything to make the trip enjoyable. Jerman and Salomon were everywhere helping us. The crew worked together so well and are a lot of fun.

Great Fun & Adventure on the CE2
Another great group charter in the Northern Caribbean with Captain Bob and an outstanding crew! We enjoyed some great diving and were treated to some amazing food aboard the CE2.
Really appreciated the ability to flex the itinerary based on conditions. Excellent communication from the Captain & Purser. Crew was professional and great fun to dive with! Good predive briefings with a focus on safety.
The crossing can be a bit sporty, but the adventure was well worth it. We highly recommend the Sint Maarten/St. Kitts route with Explorer Venturers!!

Tibouran in the Galapagos was best boat…
Tibouran in the Galapagos was best boat I have been on. It was beautiful design with big windows to watch dolphins while showering or sleeping. But even better was the service. All the staff were so thoughtful and asking to help before you asked. I would happily sail on Tibouran again.

Humblodt - Galapagos
An awesone dive destination was only the start. The crew on Humboldt Explorer did everything in their power to ensure the guests had a great trip.
Aft deck showers, warm towels after every dvie along with snacks & juice too.
The crew were available but not intrusive and the guides provided good, accurate pre-dive breifings and did teir best (as much as nature allowed) to ensure guests got to see the things they most wanted to underwater.

Amaizing liveaboard diving
Diving in the Galapagos is spectacular. But the quality of service aboard the Tiburon Explorer turns a wonderful trip into an unforgettable one, almost a heavenly experience.
The quality of the guides, the attention of the crew, the exquisite and varied meals, the bartenders, the cleanliness... everything was perfect.

Exceptional company, liveaboard, crew and diving
This was our fourth charter with Explorer Ventures and our second trip aboard the Caribbean Explorer II. The crew aboard CE II was exceptional in every aspect. Captain Lauren and her crew operated like a well-oiled machine. She ran a happy boat which was reflected in the crew's interactions among themselves and the passengers. The food onboard the entire week was exceptional. Chef Julian prepared varied and plentiful cuisine for every meal. Dinners always included two entrees with a variety of side dishes and homemade desserts. He also accommodated passengers with dietary restrictions by preparing equally tasty alternatives. Amber did a great job in arranging our transportation needs to/from the respective airports and the boat, coordinated the land tours and kept everything running on schedule. The diving was excellent and the two divemasters, Jon and Robyn, often assisted by Amber or Lauren, gave detailed dive briefings before every dive, assisted with the passengers gearing up, and then led us on the dives. They allowed us the freedom to wander off on our own to shoot pictures or one could follow the guide for that dive.
Everyone on board was great and every crewmember went out of their way to insure everyone had a great experience above and below the surface.
