Galapagos Safari Camp

Built on a 55-hectare farm in the highlands of Santa Cruz, the largest island in the Galapagos archipelago, off the coast of Ecuador, the Galapagos Safari Camp is a luxury tented camp perfectly located to experience these enchanting islands. This eco-friendly camp is one of the first of its kind in Latin America and offers a combination of lavish accommodation, comfort and adventure.

An array of once-in-a-lifetime experiences is on offer from spotting exotic wildlife and bike riding to snorkelling and exploring neighbouring islands. After a tiring day exploring, take a dip in the pool or sip a glass of fine wine by the roaring fire. It will appeal to adventurous couples and families seeking a tranquil and secluded hideaway in an awe-inspiring wilderness setting.

Accommodation

The lodge provides nine spacious and luxurious African inspired canvas tents designed with comfort and privacy in mind. Décor is safari chic and each tent has a delightful verandah, the perfect spot to sip a glass of wine as you soak up the panoramic views over the Pacific Ocean and the neighbouring islands. There is also a family suite with three interconnected rooms.

Food & Drink

Dining at Galapagos Safari Camp is a delight, with an emphasis on fresh, locally sourced ingredients. The camp’s chefs prepare a variety of dishes, combining Ecuadorian flavors with international influences. The bar offers a selection of fine wines and cocktails, perfect for unwinding after a day of exploration.

Children

Families with children of all ages are welcome at the camp, with tailored experiences that engage young explorers. The Kid’s Club provides interactive activities, from wildlife discovery to storytelling sessions, ensuring an enriching and educational stay. The Family Suite with its three interconnected bedroom offers ample space, and child-friendly meals can be arranged. The camp also offers customised family itineraries, including snorkeling trips, visits to giant tortoise reserves and beach excursions.

Sustainability

Galapagos Safari Camp is deeply committed to sustainable tourism, staying true to its ethos of 'quality over quantity.' Eco-friendly practices are woven into every aspect of its operations, from integrating solar power and rainwater harvesting to waste recycling, all aimed at minimising its environmental footprint. Thoughtfully designed with tents instead of concrete structures, the camp ensures minimal impact on its surroundings. Additionally, it actively supports reforestation projects, helping to restore native flora and preserve the delicate Galapagos ecosystem.

Guests will fly into Baltra Airport (GPS), the main gateway to the Galapagos Islands. From the airport, guests take a short ferry ride to Santa Cruz Island, followed by a scenic 45-minute drive through lush highlands to reach the camp.
