place and their amazing staff! Everyone went out of their way to make our stay memorable - from the tea service that awaited us in the lava tubes on our first day, to the pizza making and birthday cake they made for our daughter on our last day. My mother slipped on one of our hikes and the staff fell over themselves taking care of her, offering ice and warm towels throughout the rest of our stay. The food was also delicious, as were the cocktails - we loved the camp so much we skipped diving on our last day just so we could spend more time enjoying their facilities. All the staff is incredible, but a particular mention goes to Annie, who was as sweet as she was helpful. If you are fortunate enough to visit the Galapagos this place is a must!! read less

The kids LOVED the cookies, the handmade stuffed animals and the cards/sayings. The tents are AMAZING and we had tortoises every night. The staff are super helpful and friendly and we definitely can't wait to come back. read less

Perfect Family Vacation Exploring the Magical Galapagos Islands I have always wanted to visit the Galapagos, but knew a cruise wasn’t for me and my family...even before Covid.... read moreI have always wanted to visit the Galapagos, but knew a cruise wasn’t for me and my family...even before Covid. The reviews of the Safari Camp and the videos I found online convinced me this was the place for us even before we arrived. It started with contact from Stephanie (the owner) to help us navigate the requirements of entering the Galapagos. There are several documents you need as well as a negative PCR test within 96 hours of entry. She was kind enough to Zoom with us to answer all of our questions and allay any concerns. When we arrived, we were taken into a VIP section of the airport, where our paperwork was handled and our bags were collected. Within minutes, we were in our vehicle with our bags while most of the other people on our plane were still in customs. The guide (Sandy) who met us at the airport, and was with us throughout our tour, was one of the best guides we have ever had. My daughter still talks bout her and has even spoken with her on WhatsApp. From there, things just got better. The lodge itself is an attraction. Located in the highlands of the island with a 2 km driveway, you feel like you are on an adventure being there. Giant tortoises surround you while you have total privacy and stunning views of the ocean. The staff, particularly Andrea and Alejandra, told...

Giant tortoises surround you while you have total privacy and stunning views of the ocean. The staff, particularly Andrea and Alejandra, told us to make the lodge our home. We couldn’t have felt more welcomed or comfortable. We had the fortune of being the first visitors since March, and were upgraded to the family suite which is essentially a home with a spectacular deck offering great views. Esch of our children had their own bedroom and bathroom and my wife and I had the large master bedroom. All of the meals were expertly prepared and to our liking. Before we even arrived, we were asked what foods we liked and disliked as well as when we arrived. The staff treated us like family and couldn’t do enough to ensure we enjoyed our stay. They went to town to get my daughter slime (her favorite as she is 8) and arranged for an arts and craft lesson at the lodge with a local artist. My daughter was floored. My son, who love to play chess, must have played 10 games with Andrea, the manager. My wife and I had a lot of time to spend together and the children were preoccupied with their new ‘family members.” Now, I haven’t even talked about the fishing trip, scuba diving, snorkeling, nature treks and numerous other adventures we had which is why one goes to the Galapagos. My family and I loved every second of our trip and couldn’t have been happier with the tours, accommodations, the cuisine and everyone affiliated with the Safari Camp. All we had to do was wake up, and everything else was expertly handled for us. If you want to take your family on a trip they won’t soon forget while being pampered in luxury, then the Safari Camp is the place for you. More read less
