What to Expect

Wake to mist and birdsong in the highlands, where wild tortoises amble near your safari-style tent. Explore volcanic landscapes by foot and bike, snorkel with spotted eagle rays, and stroll beaches alongside sunbathing sea lions. As evening falls, savor fresh local cuisine, gather around the lounge’s crackling fireplace, or soak in the soothing comfort of your exclusive camp’s infinity pool.

Your Route Through the Galápagos Islands

Journey at a Glance

  1. Days 1 – 2

    Lava & Tortoises

    Overnight in Guayaquil, then fly to the Galápagos. Settle into your spacious canvas lodgings and visit lava tubes and the National Tortoise Reserve.

  2. Days 3 – 4

    Islands & Fishing


    Yacht to an uninhabited nearby island, home to sea lions, pelagic birds, and a colony of blue-footed boobies. Join local fishermen to explore Santa Cruz’s coastal waters.

The Galápagos Safari Camp was just tremendous. I would highly recommend it over five days on a boat. The tents were so much fun and the team took such good care of us.
