Galapagos Safari Camp

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!!

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.

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.

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.

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.
