Safari Camp 5-Day/4-Night “Classic Safari” Tour: Experience the exotic wildlife of the legendary Galapagos Islands in a truly unique manner with a stay at Galapagos Safari Camp. Set on a 55-hectare site in the highlands of Santa Cruz Island, the camp has nine, large, well-appointed luxury safari-style tents, each with its own private bathroom and a hot water shower. In addition, the family suite has three bedrooms (a master and two twin bedrooms), which makes it an ideal option for families who prefer more private and group-cohesive lodging. On this 5-Day/4-Night “Classic Safari” tour, there’ll be no lack of activities to keep you fascinated, as you'll have a chance to do everything from exploring lava tunnels to observing Giant Galapagos tortoises as they roam free. In addition, you can go snorkeling on an uninhabited island, discover the stunning Cerro Mesa Reserve, and spend time on Garrapatero Beach - with its striking contrasts of green mangroves, black lava, white sand and turquoise water. At the end of each day, you’ll return to your luxury tent surrounded by the sounds of the island’s wildlife, giving new meaning to the word “paradise.”
“We loved the time at the lodge in Cuyabeno. It was so genuine and natural there and the crew was so knowledgable and helpful. Thank you so much for the recommendation of the real Amazonia-experience.”
