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.
