There a few Tudor explorers but there are two very famous Tudor explorers one SIR FRANCIS DRAKE two SIR WALTER RALEIGH.

To the two above you have to add these, Sir Humphrey Gilbert, Sir Richard Grenville, Sir John Hawkins, Sir Martin Frobisher, Sir Richard Hawkins, John Cabot, Sebastian Cabot and Henry Hudson.
The most famous Tudor explorer was Sir Francis Drake. Perhaps the most recognised explorer, whilst discovering the New World alongside the Spanish, he in fact was encouraged by Elizabeth I to attack and harass Spanish shipping, rather successfully, which in turn delayed the Spanish Armada by a year.
