Bordering the pristine lands of the National Park and nestled into the wild highlands of Santa Cruz Island, in the heart of the Galapagos Archipelago, the family-owned Camp is ideally located, private, quiet, and far from the crowds of Puerto Ayora.
We first fell in love with the wild, raw beauty of this 50-hectare farm. Then, our deep sense of responsibility for and connection with this place, these islands and their creatures led us to create our Camp.
With just 9 stylish African-style tents immersed in lush vegetation and a family suite close to the main lodge, the feeling is discreet, unpretentious, familiar, and wholly appropriate to our natural world.
The Galapagos Safari Camp experience is all about close intimacy with nature, a true sense of place, warm sincere hospitality, and outstanding Ecuadorian cuisine, all within a unique setting.
From the moment you pass through the elegant doors and into our tall-ceilinged main lodge, you’ll be captivated by the sweeping views of the forests, coastline and nearby islands which stretch out before you.
The lodge’s position on the rim of an extinct volcanic cone inspired our lodge’s design, an elegant arc that greets the sun in the morning to the east and is bathed in golden light at the end of the day. The surrounding trees sway, finches and mockingbirds flit, the hills tumble down to the ocean, with not a human in sight.
Step through the glass doors and out onto the veranda.
ROOMS
Luxury Tent Safari
Arrayed in an arc on a hillside with views that stretch off towards the coast, seen from above our tents look like little canvas cocoons nestled into a vast natural sanctuary — which is essentially what they are.
Our safari tents are covered by three layers of canvas for comfort and shelter.
Their private balcony decks, perfect for some hammock-time, give way to spacious, stylish rooms decorated in tasteful safari-style simplicity.
All our tents have several electrical sockets for charging cameras and devices. Stretch out on your comfortable bed and enjoy the views.
Take a sun-powered hot shower in your en-suite bathroom before heading to the viewpoint for sunset drinks.
Our spacious tent bedrooms can be set up as double, twin or triple, and are included in your Safari experience.
Family Suite
Ideal for multigenerational families and those travelling with younger children, our Family Suite sleeps six. It features a master bedroom and two twin rooms, all with their own bathrooms. Its wooden furniture and floorboards blend perfectly with the natural environment and give it a warm, homely feel, perfect for travelling broods.
Secluded from the lodge and tents, the Suite’s expansive deck, makes the perfect spot for enjoying the view, sunset and making friends with visiting finches, while listening to the rustle of the breeze in the trees.
While parents unwind upstairs, little ones can have fun in the playroom downstairs.
POOL
If it weren’t for the lounger-lined decking, you could mistake the infinity pool for a natural waterhole.
Thankfully, you can dive into it after a day of adventuring and gaze out to sea without the fear of upsetting thirsty wildlife. Take a dip at night and you’ll be dazzled by stars.
RESTAURANT
A Culinary Journey
Our four-course tasting menu offers a nightly journey across Ecuadorian cuisine and beyond, with local recipes and traditional dishes reimagined with refined simplicity, using locally sourced products whenever possible. A carefully curated wine list offers a tour of South American wines to complement the experience.
Think quinoa pesto salad with roasted carrots, vegetables & yogurt… Grouper in an Ecuadorian coastal-style coconut sauce… Wahoo ceviche with sweet-potato cubes… Pork leg, marinated in beer, lemon and butter, roasted, accompanied by a passion fruit sauce, steamed corn in a leaf, avocado and spicy pickle…
Dining in Nature
You can choose to have dinner al fresco on the veranda or indoors at our long, hardwood table. Whether relaxing at the pool, sharing conversation and drinks at the Viewpoint or by the fireplace, or even enjoying a quiet game of chess, we’ll always be there to anticipate your needs, before you even realized you had one.
Whether you’re vegan, vegetarian, pescatarian, need gluten-free, or have allergies, just let us know — we’ll ensure your needs are cared for.
ACTIVITIES
You can spend hours walking around the camp, bird watching, spotting visiting tortoises and enjoying the wonderful viewpoints. In the evening you can curl up beside the open fire in the main house and soak up the views. For those in search of more action, some great scuba diving sites, kayaking, mountain biking, visiting lava tubes, extinct volcano craters and walking through forests of giant daisies.
