Galapagos Safari Camp is truly a special place and was a highlight of our recent trip to Ecuador. Not only is the property breathtaking, but the level of service provided by the staff was superb. They pay close attention to detail and custom-tailored our time there to our interests. The food was out of this world, some of the best we have ever had and they accommodated dietary restrictions extremely well. The guides we had on our excursions were wonderful and knowledgeable. We also had the opportunity to interact with the founders of the camp which made the experience even more magical. We can’t wait to return someday!!

A one of a kind place

I can't say enough fantastic things about Galapagos Safari camp. Andrea organized everything perfectly for us, down to the finest details, including a tour in Quito.  The staff were so warm, friendly and their attention to detail was impeccable. We loved the fine touches, such as the personalized little notes left each night, and even for our young daughter (she loved the little stuffed animals left on her bed).  The food was out of this world.  Our guide Robert, was fantastic. Perfect combination of knowledge, humor, calmness, and never rushed us but still managed to keep things on schedule.  Everyone honestly went out of their way to ensure our needs were met and that we had a great time.  This is our second trip to Galapagos and this trip blew our other trip away. It was very hard for us to leave.

Absolutely amazing

Absolute first class experience!  GSC arranged not only our wonderful stay in the Galapagos, but 2 additional days in Quito and 2 days in the Andes at Hacienda Zuleta (reviewed separately). 
Diego helped us plan and book everything and was very responsive and helpful with us in that regard.  EVERYTHING was taken care of - itinerary, transfers, guides, passes, food and lodging.  All we had to do was show up and enjoy the adventure.
We traveled as a 6 guest multigenerational family ages 9,16,47,51,76,&77.  Without exception, everyone was blown away by the entire experience.  Every day we saw and participated in so many "first time" things.  We walked among the Giant Tortoises, climbed through lava tubes, hung out with sea lions, iguanas, blue footed boobies, swam with sharks, penguins, sea lions, learned and participated in chocolate, coffee and even moonshine production!  We were fed wonderful food throughout and met so many wonderful people.  
Without a doubt, the shining stars throughout were the people who took care of us.  The chef and hosts (Jorge and Jose) at GSC took care of us as though we were family.  Our drivers throughout or entire stay in Ecuador were terrific and professional.  Finally, a most special mention should go to our guides Jose (in the Galapagos) and Juan Pablo (on the mainland).  Both were so caring and informative.  We spent several days with each and we were sad to say goodbye.  We will treasure the memories that our family were able to make and I would highly recommend Galapagos Safari Camp to anyone, as their team made all of this happen.

Wonderful Experience

Everything about our stay was exceptional. 

The tents were large and comfortable, the bathroom and showers sensational. The food varied and amazing. The excursions really well orgainised with great guides. The views to die for.

Juan was the star of the show - fantastic host.

I cannot recommend thi splace highly enough - an dhaving so many giant tortoises roaming around was just the icing on the cake.

The highlight of our trip to Galapagos

I've stayed at top-of-the line adventure resorts all over the world and Galapagos Safari Camp ranks among the best.  I'm so happy we booked our stay there versus a cruise or AirB&B.  Everything about our experience was exceptional.

The tents are amazing. The right amount of "glamp" - extremely well appointed but you still feel you're in the middle of nature -- waking up to the sounds of the birds in the forest.  The common facilities are wonderful, open and conducive to meeting other travelers and making friends.  The chef is exceptional -- each multi-course meal is a gourmet creation.  And the portion sizes are perfect (not gluttonous).

But hands down what differentiates Galapagos Safari Camp is the staff and guides.  They are extremely professional, knowledgeable, and handle everything down to the last detail.  While the Safari Camp is expensive -- all the arrangements are made, the fees are paid and you don't have to worry about a thing.  But more important, they will bend over backwards to ensure your stay is exceptional.  We had made a special request regarding our accommodations, which most resorts would never have agreed to -- at least without considerable extra expense.  When the staff asked management about it -- they made it happen that day -- no questions asked and without additional charges.  

They go above and beyond to give you a truly unique experience in a truly unique part of the world.

A Truly Exceptional Experience -- Highly Recommended

Our family of 6 (adult children, ages 23-29) spent our Christmas Holiday 2023 as guests at Galapagos Safari Camp.  The experience was everything we had hoped it would be.  The facilities/grounds, food/cocktails and especially the staff were exceptional!  Belen, Jorge, Juan and Alek will be remembered :) Tents were spacious, and well appointed, and the showers were hot with pressure.  Our excursions were well organized and our Park guides (Tanya and Duncan) passionate and knowledgable ambassadors of the Galapagos Islands.  If you are looking for an active holiday that combines luxury with eco-responsibility, then the Galapagos Safari Camp is a great choice.  I booked the GSC with very little research ... what I read, I loved and so I prayed that our experience would be everything I dreamed it would be.  The small scale of the camp allowed for meaningful family time.  Being land-based meant there was a fair bit of travel time to our boat and onwards to the islands, but it also meant we could have our own space when needed.

Amazing family holiday in the Galapagos Islands

I spent almost three weeks in Ecuador, including one week in the Galapagos, with stays in Santa Cruz, Floreana, and Isabela.  At no other property did I experience the level of attention that I received at Galapagos Safari Camp.  The property is located at the end of the road, up against the national park, so you don’t really have neighbors.  You are in this magical spot, with amazing views of protected land and the vast ocean, to the north and west.  There are several points of interest in the camp, including the lookout point, the pool, and the beautiful reception area, with a proper lounge for cocktails and… very relaxed lounging.  But perhaps the best place to hang out is at your tent, on the large terrace, which is constantly visited by mocking birds, finches… owls and even giant tortoises.  It’s pure magic.  The tents are simple, but large and tastefully appointed, as you would expect from a true safari camp.  There are fans in the room, but you do not need them, especially in october.  At night, it got chilly and I ended up closing the window flaps, and adding the extra blanket to the bed.

Another one of the awesome highlights is the dining experience.  The food was fantastic.  They truly source most of the ingredients in the immediate area.  The kitchen is led by two chefs that are top-notch.  

Again, we visited great spots on this trip, and this was where service was a highlight.

Exceeded high expectations!

Oh, what an amazing place! Galapagos safari camp is situated at the top of a mountain with beautiful views over the plains all the way out to the ocean. Sunsets are beautiful. But by far the best thing about this place is the staff. So incredibly friendly and accommodating, they think of every little thing to make, our stay perfect. They have a wonderful chef, who prepares gourmet, top quality, fine dining, and they serve it just like you’d expect of a Michelin rated restaurant.

Are they have beautiful wooden tables with wood from Indonesia and some wonderful art spread out all over. A very nice infinity, pool and lots of birds. There are a number of tents that are very nice, but if you can get the owners suite, it is, really fantastic with air conditioning and a very modern bathroom and super comfortable. It even has a couple of bedrooms attached if you have a large family.

Stefanie, the host was super friendly and helpful, and our nature guide Jose must have a PhD in Galápagos history and nature, because he was just so smart, and really brought out the best in our nature walks.

Very fun to walk around in the town and the staff arranged for wonderful meals at really nice restaurants with beautiful ocean views.

If you’re going to go to the Galapagos, which I highly recommend, it was very fun, this Galapagos safari camp is definitely the place to stay.

The only tiny negative was the road that leads to the camp. It is a dirt road and it has over 20 kind of bumpy things that make you have to almost stop the car, so it makes the drive annoying. It’s only seven minutes but it would be good if they pave that road assuming the government allows roads to be paved.

Great experience with nature; super comfortable!

What can I say about the safari camp that others have not gushed about already? The location is incredible, you wake up every morning to see the ocean and maybe be greeted by a few tortoises on the way to breakfast. Each day was jammed packed with great trips to other islands led by incredibly knowledgeable guides. The staff is so friendly and they also make delicious cocktails. Then you finish off the day with one of the most spectacular meals you'll ever eat. I don't think I will ever forget some of those meals. Our big family rented out a decent portion of rooms at the safari camp and we really just had a fabulous time. This is the kind of place that you will never forget once you have been here. If I get the chance to come back I would in a heartbeat.

An absolute fairytale trip

Our Galapagos Safari Camp (GSC) experience started with Diego and Nathaly who went over and above in planning and setting up our trip.  
Our family of 11 stayed at the GSC for 4 nights and everyone had a spectacular time.   It all started when we were greeted at the Baltra airport by a GSC naturalist (Carolina) who quickly shuffled us into the VIP waiting room while our luggage was unloaded.   From there we immediately started some site seeing, and where else, to an area with many giant tortoises which was amazing.  We also had lunch there and an opportunity to relax for a little while before heading off to the next site seeing location before arriving at the GSC.   
Upon arrival, we were greeted by Belen and George for the first 2 days and then spoiled by Juan and Stephanie, who each went over the top during our stay.   The luxury tent accommodations were likewise amazing.  We all spent some time in the pool on day 1 and then our first GSC dinner.   We can't say enough good things about the 5 star meals at the GSC, well maybe Perfect describes them best.  BTW - all meals are included.  The remainder of our stay included additional excursions with Carolina, including a stop at a local moonshine operation, bicycling, hiking, a trip to the beach, and finally a visit to Puerto Ayora and the Charles Darwin Center.   Everyone at the GSC made us feel special, which included all of those staff working either out front or behind the scenes to keeps things running smoothly.
