Accommodation

We have nine Safari Tents in total, two of which are Family Safari Tents.

We have one Family Suite.

All our accommodation is included in the overall Safari experience and is not available to book separately.

We do, however, offer a Relaxing Pre/Post Cruise Safari, designed for guests who wish to rest at Camp after a long journey to the islands, or after an intense cruise itinerary before heading home.

Most likely not. Galapagos Safari Camp is located in the highlands of Santa Cruz Island, where the climate is generally cool and breezy for most of the year. Our tents are carefully orientated to catch the natural air currents and are equipped with ceiling fans for additional comfort during the warmer months.

There is a brief window—typically a couple of weeks during the Warm & Wet season—when temperatures and humidity can rise. Some guests find the nights warmer during this period, while others remain perfectly comfortable. In the cooler months, we often light a fire in the main lodge and provide hot water bottles in the tents.

We haven’t simply opted out of air conditioning—we’ve designed the entire Camp around not needing it. From the outset, we chose canvas tents over concrete buildings to keep our footprint light and to avoid the need for energy-intensive cooling systems. Most of the island’s energy is still fossil-fuel based and brought in on diesel-powered ships, so minimising consumption, wherever and however we can, simply made practical sense. Our Family Suite is the only accommodation with the option for air conditioning, as it is a three-bedroom, brick-and-mortar structure that cannot benefit from the natural air currents in the same way our canvas tents can.

If heat is a personal concern, shifting travel dates to avoid the seasonal spike can make all the difference. We believe that small, thoughtful choices, made early in the planning process, can have a meaningful long-term impact. After all, these decisions are part of how we collectively protect the Galapagos—and the planet at large—from the climate extremes we’re beginning to see.

All our Safari Tents include fully equipped bathrooms with hot water showers powered by solar energy and flushable toilets.

The tents are connected to the main lodge by a gently sloping path with several steps, requiring a reasonable level of mobility. Guests who may find this challenging might prefer our Family Suite, which is located adjacent to the main lodge and does not require any stair access.
