Unfortunately we had a poor experience on this tour. There was poor communication on where we would actually snorkel, a lack of pre-arranged kid size life jackets and the crew took an hour to fish during the return journey and packed the fish for their own use. The tour operator was not helpful when voicing these issues to them. I would not recommend this tour agency.

We love working with Academy Bay. Alice is very helpful and responsive.

amazingly attentive and a very “boutique” dive experience…( sit while they help you with putting your equipment and fins on!!! wonderful people…let them arrange your Galapagos dive!!! thank you all

Very well organised, good communication and flexibility, extending my stay by a few days on Isabella and San Cristobal. The boat crew were professional and courteous. Water was offered regularly and there was more than enough food for the lunch on board. They would also cater many dietary requirements. The hotels / hostels were conviently located almost perfect for my needs, just some outside drying space for my dive gear would have been the cherry on top! Other than that awesome.

Two AOW divers w/ 150+ dives, but no experience in cold water diving or strong currents. Academy Bay was very though in their briefing and safety conscious. Water was extremely murky (apparently this is the case a few days before / after the full moon which landed in the middle of our trip) so vis was limited, but our guides were pros at making sure we were all together and accounted for. Highly recommend.
