Awesome 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!

Best Live Aboard Ever Fantastic experience. The diver instructors and crew are extremely friendly, helpful and do everything so you can have THE BEST experience. The boat is really nice and the food is AMAZING. Highly recommend. We had a lucky week in January and dove very closely to whale sharks, tiger sharks, killer whales (!!!), sea lions, penguins, walls of hammerheads. We saw it all !!!

My first liveaboard but you set the standard!!! Everything was so easy, making reservations, payment, directions and paperwork needed once on board. The crew of the Caribbean Explorer II is second to none. I've been around the world diving but the hospitality, kindness, and knowledge was great. I’m a PADI Professional and I was very impressed with the entire crew. We will be back!!!

Trip of a lifetime! Everything about the trip was awesome, begging with getting a warm greeting to in Baltra and taken to the boat, meeting the crew the other divers aboard. The boat is awesome, spatious, modern, the crew go out of their way to make you feel like a king food, was great all services wonderful. Natalia and Alex were amazing dive leaders and we saw so much (Tons of sharks, rays and even an Orca and Whale Shark experience in Feb!!) !! There really was nothing negative about the experience, one of the great weeks of my life that I will always treasure.

The diving was wonderful but the crew… The diving was wonderful but the crew was exceptional! They went that extra mile to make their guests happy! The food was artfully done and delicious as well. It was a wonderful experience all the way around! Many thanks to Jennifer as well!
