Galápagos Safari Camp is an exquisite property which follows the example of Africa's luxury safari camps to offer true comfort under canvas.

The exquisite Galápagos Safari Camp, perfect for total relaxation, is based upon the model of Africa's top-of-the-range safari camps, offering true comfort under canvas.

The main lodge, built from volcanic stone, sits astride a ridge with panoramic views of the straits and volcanoes of Isabela island beyond. The nine luxury tents occupy their own vast wooden platforms and each has a balcony, bedroom and separate bathroom. Inside, the décor is a marriage of understated contemporary style and the rustic ambience that lends the camp its sense of adventure.

There's a small infinity pool, horses or mountain bikes for hire, and informative guided exploratory walks to be enjoyed within the grounds. Nearby, you can explore the island's unique lava tunnels, the ceilings of which soar to the height of a Gothic cathedral. Giant tortoises roam wild in the surrounding scrub and grasslands.

    SM, South Croydon

  • The Galápagos Islands were out of this world.

    DJ, Chesterfield

    DJ, Saltash

  • The Galapagos tour was our highlight because of the proximity and abundance of the wildlife.

    AB, St Neots

  • The Galápagos cruise was just so good. I don't think I can remember enjoying a recent trip so much.

    NJ, London

  • A truly unique place on earth.

    KS, Southampton

  • Highlight of your trip?: Snorkeling in the Galapagos


  • The wildlife on the islands (obviously the major reason for the trip) was spectacular and wonderful to experience. I’m please to have made the trip and would certainly recommend the Galápagos to anyone with similar interests and sufficient money.

    PM, Chesterfield

  • The trip to to the Galapagos was the highlight undoubtedly - and the memories will remain with us for a long time -along with the huge photographic archive taken!

    CG, Stratchcarron

  • The Galápagos trip was very sympathetic to the environment and local habitat.

    AD, Dublin

  • Unique experience

    A holiday in Ecuador/the Galapagos is a once in a life time experience. A four day cruise whilst being an excellent 'overview' is just not long enough. Encourage all your customers to take the longest possible cruise.

    DW, Lingfield

  • The cabin upgrade was definitely worth the extra money, much more space and good sized windows!
     

    LF, Alderley Edge

  • The Galápagos Islands were out of this world.

    DJ, Chesterfield

  • The sealions were brilliant fun and the pups so cute, and so close. All the wildlife was great and seeing it all up close as nothing is afraid of humans, was amazing.

    KH, Weybridge

  • No-one should consider a Galápagos cruise of less then 8 days. We both had a holiday of a lifetime.

    LF

  • Galapagos Islands wildlife, guide and boat. To be so close to birds and animals is a privilege and to see such pristine beaches and scenery is lovely.

    SJ, Winchelsea

  • The Galapagos blew me away. was even better than I expected. it never felt crowded and the guides and crew made us feel as thought we were special. 

    , Surbiton

  • The highlight was always going to be the Galápagos and it lived up to our expectations. It is a unique place and unlike our last visit we came away with hundreds of photographs to remind us of the trip.

    NW, Wells

  • Breathtaking

    The Galápagos - just breathtaking - walking in woodland with wild giant tortoise grazing in clearings, watching wild land iguanas amble through long grasses, peering at eye level into the nests of red footed boobies, watching penguins and sea lions hunting fish whilst snorkelling, and as a finale, watching huge sharks circling in the boat lights during our final evening meal.

    JW, Newcastle

  •  Impossible to choose between the Galápagos and Easter Island - both are magical, special places.

    SM, Wandsworth

  • The Galapagos animals, scenery and sea were out of this world, just fabulous

    CH, Epsom

  • The trip around the Galápagos was spectacular and I have never experienced anything like it before.

    LB, Enfield

  • A couple of days in the Galapagos when we didn't see any other people. Intimacy of swimming with sealions, turtles & being chased in the water by a flightless cormorant!

    TC, St Albans

  • The most memorable experiences were walking in woodland with wild giant tortoise grazing in clearings, watching wild land iguanas amble through long grasses, peering at eye level into the nests of red footed boobies, watching penguins and sea lions hunting fish whilst snorkelling, and as a finale, watching huge sharks circling in the boat lights during our final evening meal.

    JW, Newcastle

  • It's very difficult to pick out one thing. Seeing the animals everywhere we went was amazing. We fell in love with the sea-lions. I loved the walk up to the view over Pinnacle Rock and then being on the beach by the rock afterwards. Seeing a white tipped shark from the beach was something I never expected.

    NR, Swindon

  • The Galápagos Islands were something else- quite outstanding for the wonderful wildlife and abundant sea life while snorkelling.

    CP

  • The Galápagos were above expectation – the best thing we have done.

    DL, Dulwich

  • Highlight?: Probably a sea lion playing underneath me and showing off whilst I was snorkelling.  Beautiful.  

    DD, Uxbridge

  • Our time on the Galápagos Islands was unique to us, the wildlife was fabulous, we enjoyed every minute of it.

    BT, Ware

  • The Galápagos was so amazing - we were not at all disappointed even though we had looked forward to it so much. Every part of our cruise was special, and we loved the Athala and her itinerary.
