Alpha

Galápagos Islands, Ecuador

Alpha in the Galápagos offers a straightforward approach to diving these unique waters. They focus on daily trips out to some of the nearer sites, like the popular Gardner Bay or Kicker Rock, so it’s a good pick if you’re staying on land and want to maximize your time in the water without a liveaboard commitment. We’ve found their local guides are pretty good at spotting the endemic species like marine iguanas and Galápagos sharks, and they keep the groups small enough that you don’t feel like you’re herded. If you’re looking for no-frills access to some iconic Galápagos diving, Alpha is a solid, reliable choice.
