Staying on the islands

In the archipelago you will find three inhabited islands, Santa Cruz, Isabela and San Cristobal. This is where the locals live and here you will find various accommodations where you can stay. Puerto Ayora on the island of Santa Cruz is the largest town in the archipelago. Close to this place you will also find the Charles Darwin Research Station.

If you don't want to go on a cruise ship, but still want to stay on different islands, you can also choose for island hopping. In a multi-day-programme you will be taken on excursions on different islands during the day and at the end of the afternoon you will go ashore again on one of the three inhabited islands. In the evening you can have a relaxing dinner at the hotel and stay overnight in your own room.

It is also a possibility to stay at one and the same place. We work with the best accommodations on the Galapagos that offer you a unique Galapagos experience during your stay. The hotels are comfortably furnished and fully equipped. During the day you can participate in various day excursions led by professional and enthusiastic guides. 

Located on the island of Santa Cruz, Pikaia lodge offers you a luxurious experience on the Galapagos. The hotel strives for a high level of comfort and the best service. During the day you can make several excursions. For example, the Pikaia lodge has its own luxury yacht for day trips at sea. In the evening you can have an excellent dinner, go for a swim in the swimming pool or relax in the spa.
