Academy Bay / Galápagos day operators
Editorial estimate
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.
Prices: 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.
