Galápagos Safari Camp
Experience the Galápagos through a dynamic mix of land and water activities
Combining land and sea exploration, Galápagos Safari Camp offers an unparalleled way to experience the extraordinary nature of the Galápagos Islands. Just nine canvas tents and one family suite sit within 55 hectares of wilderness in a remote corner of Ecuador‘s Santa Cruz Island.
They’re all wonderfully airy, strategically designed to let in the cooling breezes that flow through the highlands. Each unit also features bathrooms with solar-powered showers and private balconies from where you can gaze out across lush treetops. All tents surround the elegant contemporary lodge complete with restored antiques and furnishings collected by its well-travelled owners. There’s also a spacious communal area where you’ll enjoy a carefully curated dining experience, focused on the flavours of Ecuador and produce grown on the islands.
Experiences at Galápagos Safari Camp are shaped by local experts, growers and artisans. Adventures such as hiking in Galápagos National Park and boat trips to the islands, are guided by highly experienced naturalists who share their deep knowledge of the land. You can also enrich your stay by connecting with local life. Visit a farm to see how traditional agricultural practices have been preserved. Sit down with a Galápagos-based artist for an art lesson or join a local fisherman on a small-scale fishing excursion. You can also deepen your understanding of the archipelago through private discussions with experts who bring the islands’ wildlife and geology to life. Even young explorers can delve into native biodiversity through engaging activities organised by the Kids’ Club.
At Galápagos Safari Camp, various environmental initiatives are put in place to minimise its footprint on nature. These include rainwater harvesting, reducing the use of plastics and utilising low-consumption lighting so as not to disturb the wildlife in the area.

The impact of your stay:
- Your stay at Galápagos Safari Camp helps protect critically endangered Galápagos petrels. This conservation initiative focuses on monitoring nests and managing predators to ensure their safety and help restore a breeding colony of this endemic seabird.
- Witness how once-degraded farmland has been transformed into a thriving highland forest, cultivated with endemic plants and rare cacao trees in partnership with the Charles Darwin Foundation. You can even taste the results of this regeneration firsthand during a hands-on chocolate making experience using cacao grown onsite.
- You’ll also see positive impact in action through the camp’s innovative rainwater reservoir, which supplies most of its water needs while creating a natural haven for finches, mockingbirds, flycatchers and white-cheeked pintail ducks.
