The Family Safari is one day longer because it includes an extra day exploring Santa Cruz Island.
The Classic Safari includes two days at sea visiting different uninhabited islands, together with two days of land excursions on Santa Cruz.
The Family Safari includes three land days and two sea days. One sea day visits an uninhabited island, while the other is our private fishing adventure, where you join local fishermen for a day that combines fishing, snorkelling and time in a secluded bay.
Because this experience involves chartering a private boat, it is most cost-effective for small groups, which is why it forms part of the Family Safari. However, it can also be added to a Classic Safari, although the cost per person is naturally higher when the charter is shared between fewer guests.
You can also add an additional land day to your Classic Safari to explore another part of Santa Cruz Island.
There are many ways to explore the islands. We can tailor your itinerary around your available time and interests. Simply let your Safari Designer know how many days you have available, and we can take it from there.
What is a land-based Safari and how does it compare to a cruise?
Our Safaris combine days exploring the wilds and wonders of Santa Cruz Island with day trips by boat to uninhabited Islands in the Galapagos archipelago.
Most guests choose a balance of land excursions and time at sea, but ultimately you decide.
At the end of each day, you return to Camp.
All of our Safaris can be customized to suit your personal needs and interests.
In addition to the excursions included in our sample itineraries, we offer a range of experiences designed to deepen your connection with loved ones and with the islands, and to create lasting memories.
Our wildlife Safaris are not just about checking boxes—they are about seeing deeply, engaging fully, and returning with something far more meaningful than social media posts.
We believe travel opens the door to fresh perspectives, offering new ways of seeing the world and understanding our place within it. It also provides the time and space to connect more deeply—with nature, with loved ones, and with yourself.
