Set high in the lush highlands of Santa Cruz Island, Pikaia Lodge offers something few properties in the Galápagos can: a seamless blend of land-based exploration and yacht-style adventure.
Rather than choosing between a cruise or a hotel stay, guests at Pikaia enjoy both. The lodge operates its own private yacht, allowing travelers to embark on curated day trips to nearby islands complete with private cabins, expert naturalist guides, and gourmet dining.
The difference? At the end of the day, you return to solid ground, a glass of wine, and one of the most exclusive eco-luxury retreats in the archipelago.
