A usual day on the Humboldt Explorer starts with a dive at 6:30 am, followed by breakfast. Another dive typically takes place at 10:30 am, followed by lunch at noon. Afternoon dives are scheduled for 2:00 pm and 4:30 pm; however, on days with longer travel between islands, the number of dives may be reduced to 2-3, as specified in the itinerary. Dinner is typically served around 7:00 pm. Night dives and land visits are closely regulated according to current guidelines set by the National Parks.
The weekly schedule features consistent island destinations, though the order of visits is decided by the National Parks Foundation. The Humboldt Explorer strictly follows the designated itinerary of islands and land excursions outlined.
