Galapagos Safari Camp , Galapagos Islands, Ecuador| Take the Family

Galapagos Safari Camp is the perfect place for families seeking the freedom to explore the Galapagos Islands at their own pace. Family adventures are tailored with activities of your choice and delivered with the personalised service you expect in a luxury property. Located in the tranquil highlands of Santa Cruz Island beside Galápagos National Park, the camp provides ample room for families to unwind, explore and reconnect with nature.

Families can stay in a choice of safari tents or the larger family suite, all designed with comfort in mind. At the heart of the camp, the main lodge offers a base of dining and socialising, along with stunning panoramic views—ideal for spotting wildlife together or relaxing after a day of adventure.

During school holiday periods, there is a kids' club in the afternoons, giving the little (and not so little) explorers a place to have fun and learn, with a fun programme of nature and sustainability-themed activities, tailored to the group. Parents can take themselves off for a little time to unwind, or indeed stay and join in, and learn about this beautiful place, alongside the children.

After a full day on safari, the dining experience at the Galapagos Safari Camp will be one of the highlights of your stay, with a focus on fresh, locally sourced ingredients. The chef's menu includes both local and international cuisine, ensuring a diverse and satisfying meal for guests of all ages.

We can combine your stay at Galapagos Safari Camp with other destinations of your choice. Perhaps a stay at a traditional Hacienda ('ranch') or a visit to the Cloud Forest, on the Ecuadorian mainland.
