Pikaia Lodge
Ecuador
Pikaia Lodge makes exploration part of the stay on Santa Cruz in the Galápagos. Its adventure programmes combine time at the lodge with excursions aboard the private Vision Pikaia yacht, allowing guests to experience the islands from the water as well as on land. Snorkelling equipment and mountain bikes are included in the lodge’s adventure packages. Back at the property, an infinity pool looks towards the ocean and savannah, while a gazebo occupies the edge of a crater. Evolution Restaurant serves Ecuadorian and international food, with menus changing every two days and views across Galápagos National Park. The Explorers Lounge extends the lodge’s scientific theme through books on evolution and the islands, alongside introductory lectures and expedition planning.
