Galapagos in lodges

Set on the coastal plateau of western Ecuador, Guayaquil is a sprawling industrial port, centred on an attractive historic quarter. It usually features in trips as a connecting point for flights out to Gaapagos and occasionally in road trips out to the little-visited coastline around Puerto Cayo.

Set in the centre of Galapagos, Isla Santa Cruz is both geographically and economically at the heart of the archipelago, being home to the majority of the human population and the main research centre. The island contains a wide range of sites of interest and tends to feature in virtually every cruise itinerary.

Set in the west of Galapagos, Isla Isabela is the largest island in the group and is certainly one the most exciting, containing some very dramatic and active volcanic scenery, intriguing history, some great wildlife and some interesting culture.
