Hi everyone, I am Alex Arregui. I’ve lived and worked in the Galápagos for nearly 30 years as a Marine Biologist and a National Park certified guide (#143). After recently spending a month in Cuenca, I realized that many people feel overwhelmed by the high costs and rigid schedules of the big cruise ships.

​I want to show you my home a different way. I specialize in land-based, sustainable expeditions that skip the middleman. we work directly with local families, independent boat captains, and organic farmers. This doesn’t just keep your costs more reasonable; it ensures your visit actually supports the community here on the islands.

​I don’t just “show” you wildlife. I translate the science behind what you’re seeing—explaining why these species evolved the way they did and pointing out the details most visitors walk right past.

​When you stay on Isabela Island, you’ll stay at my private suites in Puerto Villamil. we are located right across from the Flamingo Lagoon and just one block from the beach. It is the perfect, quiet base for exploring the volcanic highlands or the best snorkeling spots in the archipelago at your own pace.

​Whether you are planning a trip for visiting family or looking for a deep-dive scientific expedition for yourself, let’s talk. I can help you navigate the logistics of the islands without the “tourist trap” feel.

​Feel free to reach out via WhatsApp or email, or you can see more of my work on my website

The experience 99% of visitors never find.

Before you book a cruise or a “cookie-cutter” tour… read this:

Every year, thousands of travelers come to the Galápagos… only to follow fixed schedules, move in groups, and rush from one site to another. They check the boxes. Take the photos. And leave feeling like something was missing.

Because it was.

There is a better way to experience the Galápagos.

Meet Your Guide

My name is Alex Arregui — Marine Biologist and National Park Certified Naturalist Guide (#143). With over 30 years living in the islands and experience with the Charles Darwin Research Station, I don’t just show you wildlife… I help you understand it, connect with it, and experience it in a way most visitors never do.

Trusted by travelers from the U.S. and Europe for over three decades.

Not a Tour — A Private Expedition

I don’t run tours. I lead private, fully customized expeditions.

• 100% Private — just you and your group
• Total flexibility — no fixed schedules
• Move at your own pace
• Stay at Alex’s Suites — private oceanfront in Isabela
• Smart logistics — avoid crowds, maximize your time
• Travel with a scientist — not just a guide

What You’ll Experience

Swim with sea turtles and sea lions… walk among marine iguanas… snorkel lava formations… or dive at the legendary Gordon Rocks.

Who This Is For

If you’re looking for the cheapest trip… this is not it.
If you want the real Galápagos—done right… this is it.

Limited Availability

I personally guide each expedition and accept only a few private groups per month.

Ready to experience the Galápagos the right way?
Send me a message and let’s design your private expedition.

My name is Alex Arregui. I’ve spent over 30 years living and working across the Galápagos Islands as a Marine Biologist, including my time at the Charles Darwin Research Station.

This is not a typical Galápagos trip.

This is a privately guided expedition designed for travelers who want more than just “seeing” the islands—they want to truly experience them.

Imagine this:

Key Experiences:

• Swimming alongside wild sea lions at sunrise.
• Walking across untouched volcanic landscapes far from the cruise crowds.
• Exploring hidden mangroves and remote sites that only locals with decades of experience know exist.

Every moment is intentional.

When you travel with me, you’re not just visiting—you’re directly supporting the local families, captains, and communities who protect these islands every day. This is real ecotourism, where your presence creates a positive impact.

Everything is handled for you: Private guiding, inter-island logistics, and hand-picked accommodations—from authentic local stays to boutique luxury.

Perfect for:

• Families or small groups looking for an 8–10 day once-in-a-lifetime experience with depth, comfort, and purpose.

I only take a limited number of travelers each year to keep this experience personal and high-quality.

If you’re serious about doing the Galápagos the right way:

Message me “GALAPAGOS” and I’ll personally design your private itinerary.

My name is Alex Arregui. With over 30 years of experience living and working across the entire archipelago, I offer more than just a tour—I provide a partnership in conservation. As a UK-educated Marine Biologist from the University of Birmingham and former Research Assistant at the Charles Darwin Research Station, I invite you to join a “True Ecotourism” expedition that fosters a crucial, symbiotic relationship between travelers, the local community, and nature.

The Power of Your Investment

• Support Local Families: Your journey directly contributes to the income of local captains, hosts, and families I have collaborated with for three decades.
• Protect Wildlife: By supporting the residents of these islands, you empower the key protectors of this delicate ecosystem.
• Authentic Discovery: We veer off the beaten path of crowded cruise routes to discover serene, enchanting spots—from hidden mangroves to volcanic peaks—that only a 30-year veteran like me knows.
• Comfort and Choice: Your comfort is my top priority. Choose from a range of accommodations—be it charming local stays or boutique luxury—to ensure you feel right at home while exploring the wilderness.

My name is Alex Arregui, a UK-educated Marine Biologist and certified Galápagos National Park Naturalist Guide. I began my career as a research assistant at the Charles Darwin Research Station, and for nearly 30 years I have lived and worked across the Galápagos Islands, studying wildlife and guiding travelers through the ecosystems that inspired Charles Darwin.

I design personalized island-hopping adventures for travelers who want more than a typical cruise.

These trips are small, flexible, and focused on wildlife encounters and understanding the remarkable science that makes the Galápagos one of the most extraordinary places on Earth.

A typical day might begin walking quietly among giant tortoises in the misty highlands, followed by snorkeling in crystal-clear water with sea lions, sea turtles, rays, and reef sharks. Later we may explore volcanic lava fields shaped by ancient eruptions, and end the day enjoying fresh seafood at a small local restaurant while frigate birds glide across the sunset sky.

Every itinerary is custom designed around your interests, schedule, and budget. Trips are ideal for couples, families, photographers, or small private groups seeking a deeper and more authentic experience.

Accommodation options range from comfortable guesthouses to boutique hotels, depending on your travel style. Most importantly, your travel budget goes directly to local Galápagos families—including small hotels, boat captains, drivers, and restaurants—supporting sustainable tourism and the island community.

After three decades in the Galápagos, the islands still reveal new discoveries every week. It would be my pleasure to help you experience them in a deeper and more meaningful way.

I craft personalized, small-group island-hopping adventures for travelers who want more than the usual tours. Walk quietly among giant tortoises, snorkel with sea lions and reef sharks, explore volcanic lava fields, and witness blue-footed boobies and frigate birds up close—all while learning the science that makes the Galápagos unique.

Trips are intimate, flexible, and wildlife-focused. Accommodations range from cozy guesthouses to boutique hotels, and your travel budget goes directly to local families and guides, supporting sustainable tourism.

After 30 years in the Galápagos, these islands still reveal secrets only an insider can share. I don’t just offer a tour—I offer a lifetime of discovery distilled into your perfect journey.

Spaces are limited. Join me and turn your Galápagos holiday into the adventure of a lifetime.

​Why settle for a generic cruise when you can explore with the scientist who helped protect the islands?

​My name is Alex Arregui. As a UK-educated Marine Biologist and former Charles Darwin Research Station researcher, I’ve spent 30 years uncovering a vital truth: The survival of the Galápagos is inseparable from the success of its people. ### A Bridge to the Real Galápagos

My tours are built on Symbiosis. By bypassing international corporations and working directly with local boat captains and artisans, we create a cycle of conservation. When local families thrive, they become the islands’ most dedicated guardians. Your journey directly funds this delicate balance.

​Tailored Comfort, Expertly Guided.

​Forget rigid schedules. I design bespoke, land-based island-hopping adventures that move at your pace. Because I work with all levels of family-run accommodations, I can tailor your stay to any style:

​Value: Authentic, cozy local stays.

​Boutique: Charming, hand-picked comfort.

​Luxury: Premium eco-lodges for a world-class experience.

​Deep Science, Insider Access

​I bridge the gap between “seeing” and “understanding.” We won’t just find a Blue-Footed Booby; we’ll discuss the evolutionary pressures that shaped it. From snorkeling the crystal tunnels of Los Túneles to hiking the rare, volcanic Sulphur Mines, you’ll experience the archipelago as an insider, not a tourist.

​Experience the islands with the expert who loves and protects them.

​Ready for your custom expedition?

I am currently booking. Contact me for your free sample itinerary.

​Tell me: What is the #1 animal on your bucket list? I’ll build the route to find it!

Hi everyone,

​My name is Alex Arregui. If you’ve been planning a trip to the Galápagos but feel overwhelmed by “cookie-cutter” cruises and crowded tour boats, I’d like to offer you a different way to see my home.

​As a National Park-certified naturalist guide with a Master’s degree in Marine Biology and a background as a research assistant at the Charles Darwin Research Station, I’ve dedicated my life to the ecology of these islands. I don’t just show you the wildlife; I share the science, the history, and the conservation stories that most visitors never hear.

​Why book a private adventure with me?

​Skip the Logistics: I meet you at the airport and handle every detail—private transport, boutique hotels, and the best local dining—so you can actually relax.

​Tailor-Made Itineraries: Whether you want to focus on photography, deep-water snorkeling, or volcanic hiking, the schedule is built around your pace and your interests.

​The “Secret” Galápagos: We visit the quiet spots and hidden gems that the large cruise ships and standard tour groups miss.

​Educational Depth: We go beyond the surface. You’ll leave with a true understanding of the evolutionary magic of the archipelago.

​My 2026 calendar is now open. Whether you are a solo explorer, a couple, or a family looking for an educational escape, I’d love to help you design an experience that is as unique as the islands themselves.

​Let’s start planning your journey:

​I’m happy to answer any questions you have about the islands or my land-based tour options.

​Best regards,

​Alex Arregui

Go Beyond the Tourist Trail: Explore Galápagos with a 30-Year Expert and Research Assistant at Charles Darwin Research Station.

​The Galápagos Islands are my laboratory, my classroom, and my home. After three decades exploring this archipelago—from my early days as a Scientific Research Assistant at the Charles Darwin Research Station to obtaining my Master’s in the UK—my mission is to guide you past the postcards and into the intricate, living science of evolution.

​This isn’t just a sightseeing trip; it’s a deep-dive ecological expedition.

​Why Choose an Expedition Led by Me?

​Scientific Authority: Your experience is led by a guide with both academic rigor (UK Master’s degree) and boots-on-the-ground research experience. I offer insights into current conservation efforts, endemic species’ adaptations, and the evolutionary processes that shaped these islands.

My years with the Charles Darwin Research Station give me a unique perspective on the islands’ history, ongoing projects, and the best ways to observe wildlife without disturbance.

I don’t just identify a Blue-Footed Booby; I tell you the evolutionary pressures that led to its vibrant color, how its nesting habits differ from island to island, and the current threats to its survival.

​Experience the islands through the eyes of a scientist. We explore hidden corners, observe wildlife with patience and respect, and discuss the complex ecological balance that Charles Darwin first observed.

Elevate your Galápagos journey. Limited spots are available for my upcoming expeditions. Message me directly to secure a space on a truly transformative tour.

With just 150 residents, Floreana is arguably one of the most peaceful and untouched of the four inhibited Galapagos Islands. Once the sun sinks into the horizon, the night sky lights up with glistening stars, begging for your attention. 

Watch in awe alongside your guide, Alex Arregui, and renowned astronomer, Robert. 

Robert first studied astronomy at the University of Houston in 1996 under Dr. Lawrence Pinsky, a world-class astrophysicist with privileges to experiment at the CERN super collider in Switzerland. Dr. Pinksy sparked Robert’s love of the night sky by allowing him access to the university telescope. 

Natural magic like this is made to be shared with those who appreciate it. if you’re a lover of the night sky, and beyond, get in touch to arrange a stargazing tour, now.
