Felt like a Real Escape from Reality

Not to mention some of the fantastic sea life I saw on the various sites, incredible food, and stunning pictures from the fantastic camera and video crew. My sincere thanks to everyone who made such an effort to make this trip memorable, and helped me disconnect from reality in the best way possible while spending an incredible getaway with my dad and new friends I met onboard.

First Time on a Liveaboard, and Definitely the Trip of a Lifetime!

First time on a liveaboard, and definitely the trip of a lifetime! From the thoughtful and caring service of the crew to the clean and spacious boat, and of course the highlight of the trip – diving with all the amazing creatures, it was a trip to remember! As relatively less experienced divers, the divemasters were ready to accommodate and help out in whatever way they could to make the diving as safe and enjoyable as possible. Swimming with multiple species of sharks, and mantas, and being surrounded by fish in a bait ball were the highlights of the trip and experiences which I will always remember.

We Had Such a Jaws-Some Experience

This trip was a trip of a lifetime!!! We saw an endless supply of sharks, mantas, breaching whales, and even several dolphins. I’ve been around whales for quite some time, but I have never seen a breach, and we saw a mother-calf breach multiple times between our dives and even cruised by our skiff after one of the dive groups saw them underwater. We had such a JAWS-some experience.

To say our day was spectacular is an understatement

Today was our first day in the Sea of Cortez. Although we were scheduled to visit la Isla de Guadalupe, when that trip was cancelled, the entire Nautilus team worked so hard to open up this trip to the Sea of Cortez. We are so appreciative of all of the time, work, and generosity that went into this alternative trip.

Everything about the Sea of Cortez trip was incredible!

I had originally booked a solo trip to Guadalupe Island with Nautilus Liveaboards for the summer and was disappointed at first that the island closed. Nautilus offered a Sea of Cortez trip instead. I was pretty nervous because I’m not a diver, and it’s a very dive-centered trip but it ended up feeling like a blessing in disguise!

Safety Protocols Were the Best I’ve Seen

This crew worked tirelessly to give us the best possible experience. They went over and above! Poncho the chef is superb and Favi’s cookies should be sold internationally. Very genuinely wonderful people all. Patient, kind, smiling…always attentive. The craft is clean, and well taken care of, and safety protocols were the best I’ve seen. Juan was a superb dive master. Great job All

People Coming for the First Liveaboard Will Get Spoiled

The service on the Explorer is so good. People coming for the first liveaboard will get spoiled. This trip has been fantastic. I’m so happy. The sperm whales were incredible. Also, I’ve never been with sea lions and I got a hug from one of them! I’ve never dived in water so warm and it’s fantastic and has been a different experience.
