Academy Bay / Galápagos day operators

An area overview of the Puerto Ayora day-boat scene rather than a single business. Licensed operators on Santa Cruz run day trips under national park rules to Gordon Rocks — the hammerhead washing machine — plus North Seymour, Floreana and Bartolome, always with certified naturalist guides and fixed site allocations. Wolf and Darwin are liveaboard-only; no day boat reaches them. Conditions are advanced at the best sites: current, surge and cool upwellings.

कीमतें: Day trips price in the upper band for day diving anywhere, reflecting park fees and tight licensing. Operator quality varies — check guide ratios and gear condition, and verify site permits for your dates.
