Galapagos Islands Hotels
The Galapagos Islands are a dream destination: wild, beautiful, and like nowhere else on Earth. If you’re planning to explore the Enchanted Isles, a land-based (island-hopping) tour offers the freedom to personalize your experience while connecting with local life. Stay in handpicked, boutique-style hotels that reflect the islands’ charm and character. Island hopping lets you choose how long to stay, what activities to enjoy, and where to rest each night. It’s flexible, immersive, and often more budget-friendly, especially for those who prefer solid ground to sea swells. From snorkeling to surfing, biking to beach time, this is the perfect choice for curious, active travelers.
Our selection of locally owned hotels delivers top-notch service and comfort, so you can make the most of your time in the Galapagos, your way.
Isabela Hotels
Isabela is the largest island in the archipelago and it’s easy to recognize due to its seahorse shape form. It was formed by the merge of six volcanoes, which are all, except one, still active. Isabela is home to lots of interesting flora and fauna, including the pink iguana, a unique species that can only be found in Wolf Volcano. Some of Isabela’s main points include Los Tuneles, and Tintoreras, both great places to snorkel and see marine wildlife, and for those who are looking for a good hike Sierra Negra volcano and the Wall of Tears are great options.
Santa Cruz Hotels
Santa Cruz, located at the center of the archipelago, is the most populated of all islands. This island is the economic center of the Galapagos and has plenty of restaurants, bars, and discotheques. However, despite being the main town it still has incredible natural sites, perfect to spot wildlife, one of them being the breeding center. With white sand and crystal clear waters, Tortuga Bay is another must-visit in Santa Cruz. Other locations that you might want to add to your bucket list are Garrapatero Beach, Bachas Beach, and the Twin Craters.
San Cristóbal Hotels
Puerto Baquerizo Moreno, the Galapagos capital, is located at San Cristobal. The island is one of the most popular destinations in the world, and it’s known for having the largest sea lion colony in the Galapagos. San Cristobal is ideal for adventure sports and perfect for anyone who is looking for wonderful landscapes. Some of them can be found in ¨El Junco¨ Lagoon, ¨La Lobería¨, ¨León Dormido¨, ¨Tijeretas¨, and of course the world-famous diving spot, Kicker Rock! All of them are perfect for different activities, like snorkeling and hiking.
