- Galapagos Safari Camp is a unique, luxury tented camp, nestled in the wild highlands of Santa Cruz Island, close to the giant tortoise reserve.
- Very much an off the beaten path location, part of a 55-hectare farm, in harmony with nature. Galapagos Safari Camp was inspired by the magic of African safari camps, and represents a new concept for Galapagos Islands travel.
- Services include nine luxury tents (27 sq metres), with private bathrooms, and one family suite for up to 6 people. Well kept social areas include gardens and an infinity pool.
- Enjoy wonderful vistas over the Pacific Ocean from the viewing terrace, as well as views of the western & northern islands of Isabela, Santiago, Pinzon, Baltra, Rabida, Guy Fawkes & Daphne.
- Galapagos Safari Camp represents a wonderful alternative to the normal Galapagos cruise and island hopping packages.
Short Itinerary:
- DAY 1 : In search of the giant tortoise. Transfer in to lodge and lunch. Afternoon time to explore the farm, and later a tour of Santa Cruz Highlands to see giant tortoises in their natural habitat, and explore lava tunnels and forests of Scalesia & Guayabillo.
- DAY 2 : Activity Day. Morning visit to an organic coffee plantation, then drive up to Cerro Mesa Reserve for a short walk in the wetlands. After lunch a downhill bike ride to Garrapatero Beach with it's wonderful contrasts of black lava, white sand, green mangroves and turquoise waters. Kayaking is optional.
- DAY 3 : Cruising to a neighboring island. After an early rise, you will take a boat trip to explore one of the neighboring islands (North Seymour, Bartolomé, Plazas, Santa Fé, Floreana or Isabela). You will be able to snorkel off the boat and experience the richness of the aquatic species.
- DAY 4 : Fishing Adventure. An excursion with local fishermen is a favorite of children who visit the Safari Camp! This is part of a program with the National Park Service to engage fishermen in touristic activities that provide an alternative income whilst protecting local fisheries from depletion. The fishermen will share anecdotes from a lifetime at sea and teach the children local fishing tricks. Later they take you to a deserted beach to snorkel at a spot known only to locals.
- DAY 5 : Charles Darwin Station & Bay Tour. Visit the famous Charles Darwin Station. After lunch take a speedboat to Tortuga Bay, a white-sand beach. Or join a snorkeling boat to frolic with sea lions.
- DAY 6 : Sunrise walk and departure. On your last day you can tour the farm at your leisure or enjoy the sunrise from our viewpoint before your airport transfer.
