Is the word exploradores the same in Brazilian and European Portuguese?

Yes

The spelling, meaning, and grammatical function of "exploradores" are identical in both Brazilian and Continental Portuguese. The only difference lies in pronunciation.

In Brazilian Portuguese, the vowels are generally more open and clearly articulated. In Continental Portuguese, vowels—especially unstressed ones—are much more closed or even reduced to the point of being almost silent. For example, the "e" in the middle of the word might sound much more distinct in Brazil, whereas in Portugal, it may sound like a very faint, swallowed sound.
