Award winning travel company ATOL - T7314 TTA - R9632
The Pikaia Lodge concept is designed for the environmentally conscious, physically active and adventurous traveller, who seeks close contact with the unique natural wonders of the Galapagos, with the highest level of comfort and services that can be provided within the limitations of such a remote, restricted and eco-sensitive location. Pikaia Lodge offers supreme comfort, privacy and personalised attention with fine gastronomy.
The lodge is located on Santa Cruz Island in the centre of the Galapagos archipelago - many of the most interesting islands are nearby, with secluded white sand beaches and fascinating wildlife sites of the Galapagos National Park. Enjoy active, quality guided land and marine day programs in small groups and at night, rest in spacious and quiet accommodations.
Pikaia Lodge is perched on top of two extinct volcanic craters - it offers one of the most spectacular viewpoints in the Galapagos and is a scenic destination in itself. The 31 hectares of property and private wild giant tortoise reserve are located 450 meters above sea level in the transition zone between the sunny, arid savanna and the lush tropical mist forest of the volcanic highlands. Given its unique location, the lodge has a special microclimate: warm and sunny with fresh breezes for most of the year, and therefore, mosquito free!
