Galapagos Family Safaris are a combination of activities on Santa Cruz Island and boat excursions to beautiful, uninhabited neighbouring islands such as North Seymour, Bartolomé, South Plaza or Santa Fe as well as one day’s Fishing Adventure.
As one of the most diverse islands in the Galapagos archipelago, Santa Cruz has a variety of ecosystems; from the forested highlands where the camp is based to the dry, arid coastline, and the transitional zone between the two. These different landscapes offer a multitude of ways to explore the island’s wildlife and geology, making it fun, and above all, easy for families to explore these Galapagos wonders.

The Galapagos Marine Reserve is among the largest in the world, a sanctuary for hundreds of different species, many highly endangered. One in four marine species is endemic, found nowhere else on the planet. As a result, SCUBA diving in the Galapagos is considered one of the world’s finest underwater experiences.
Designed for dive enthusiasts, Dive Safaris include two dives per day and a land excursion on arrival. Galapagos Safari Camp are happy to tweak programs with more days of activities on Santa Cruz Island and/or yacht excursions to beautiful, uninhabited neighbouring islands.
