About Us
Our Safari Camp, roamed by wild giant tortoises and bordering the Galapagos National Park, is small by design and exclusive by definition. We design tailor-made safaris to meet incredible Galapagos wildlife.
Giant Seahorse (Hippocampus ingens)
Also known as the Pacific Seahorse, the Giant Seahorse is the only species of seahorse found in the eastern Pacific Ocean.
Approximately 12-20cm in size, they are much bigger than other seahorse species but nevertheless share many characteristics. They have skin as opposed to scales; a prehensile tail for anchoring themselves to weeds; a digestive system without a stomach; they are toothless; are able to move each eye independently of the other, and can change their color to blend in with their environment.
Like other seahorses, males carry the eggs in a brood pouch.
Where to see them
One of the best places to see them on our Safaris is on our snorkeling tour to Los Tuneles (see our Isabela Safari Extension)
