Let’s start with the staff. Each and every member of the staff who we interacted with was exemplary―pre-arrival through our last morning at the property. Every time we walked through the front door, there was a cold towel and beverage waiting on us. We stayed in one of the Luxury Tents with a fantastic view all the way down to the coast and all the comfortable amenities you need, minus air conditioning. Most nights were comfortable with the fans and the windows fully undraped. It does get humid at times, but being from Florida, we were used to it. However, you can’t beat the sounds of the night as you fall fast asleep. Perhaps the most memorable experiences at Galapagos Safari Camp were the dinners. Absolutely five star! There was not a single miss among our four dinners―creative menu selections for each and every course. Every plate cleaned! Be sure and enjoy the sunsets at the viewpoint with cocktails around 6ish before dinner. Our other island excursions were group oriented (mostly guided by someone from Finch Bay – good enough but not the level of customer service supplied by the staff at Galapagos Safari Camp). The only real negative was the Wi-Fi available in the tents. It probably would have been fine if the Wi-Fi node outside of our tent had been operational. However, the Wi-Fi at the lodge worked adequately. Galapagos Safari Camp is really THE top-of-the-line accommodation on Santa Cruz, from which you can organize just about any excursion you would need will visiting the Galapagos Islands. read less

A Place to Make Outstanding Memories!!

We wanted to take him someplace where he would see things he had never seen before, learn about things he never realized he had an interest in, spend time alone with him and yet give him the opportunity to do things he enjoys doing like snorkeling and scuba diving
From the moment we arrived on the "Camp's " property we were pampered. Alejandra made sure of it. She sat with us and planned our tours for the next several days, By no way were these routine tours that were given to us. Example, at the last minute our Grandson decided he wanted to do some scuba diving. Alejandra , went to work trying to find an opening with a reputable dive company. It was all taken care of by the time we returned from our daily tour. A memory our grandson will never forget as he saw a giant manta, Hammerhead sharks and so much more. She went over the menu for dinner daily to make sure each of us approved of it. I am Gluten free and every meal had home baked gluten free breads just for me. I had everything my grandson and husband had only it was prepared Gluten Free . As for the food, the meals were outstanding. My husband and I have spent a lot of time in Quito over the years and never did we experience such culinary excellence in Ecuador. If you can get Horae to strum a few tunes for you after dinner it is a real treat ( He also makes a great Mohito )!! At night when we got into our bed there was always an extra little touch thrown in for comfort. A hot water bottle was placed under the covers in the bed ( where your feet would be),
The internet is in and out , there is no TV, and yet an 18 year old had no problem living without internet, Wifi ,TV and cell service for a week! We played Chess, stargazed, and had discussions about our dreams and goals. It was one of the best trips we have ever experienced!! And it is an Experience. read less

The food was amazingly impressive on its own, doubly so given the limitations of their location.

The excursions we went on were a lot of fun. Our guide, Duncan, and our host, Andrea, were both super knowledgeable and accommodating. More read less
