Tour Summary

The elegant & spacious 16-passenger Tiburon Explorer Galapagos Islands diving liveaboard provides 9 air-conditioned staterooms located on the main and lower decks; all of which have private bathrooms and ocean views. All nine cabins have twin beds and the cabins can be converted to queen beds for couples.

Tiburon Explorer is a cruise where safety and reliability are essential parts of any Galapagos first-class experience. When visiting the Galapagos Islands for one week there are tradeoffs regarding the landing sites, and you can and can’t see, in a place where one can encounter as great a variation crossing from one side of a bay or island to another, as traversing the entire archipelago. Step onboard and explore all that the Galapagos has to offer on the Tiburon Explorer Galapagos Cruise!

One of the best ways to discover the Enchanted Islands is through a Galapagos cruise. It allows you to visit different islands in a comfortable way. You can also check out our Galapagos Last Minute Cruise Deals!

Our entire family LOVED this fantasy vacation!

They accommodated my entire wish list into a fantasy vacation! Our family of 5 (ages 28 to 63) wanted to indulge in kayaking, SUP, snorkeling, hiking, biking, and of course, seeing everything. We did it all! Really an outstanding vacation!!!

Epic Tour Of Ecuador
This vacation was absolutely EPIC!! Everything went as planned. Great guides, and beautiful scenery. Everything about it was great.
This is a go-go-tour. We added a few days in between for rest and relaxation. I would probably add one more day.
Wonderful wonderful time!!

Galapagos Adventure

We went with Rebecca Adventure Travel to the Galapagos and experienced some of the best snorkeling of our lives! Of the tour operators we talked to, Rebecca Adventure Travel was by far the most responsive and provided a lot of small but important touches to our day tour.

Land-based tour of the…

We got a lot of help to customize it to our interests. Overall the experience was very good. They arranged day tours at each destination and all transfers. We had great tour guides, they were timely, the boats were great, and they fed us well. The snorkeling guides were very professional.
