Pikaia Lodge is a new concept in luxury land-based eco-adventure in the Galapagos Islands, offering the highest levels of comfort and a once-ina-lifetime experience to our guests combining scheduled half and full day land explorations with full day marine explorations visiting nearby islands on our private yacht M/Y Pikaia I.

The Lodge is also highly advanced in environmental management; the design and construction has followed minimum-impact principles, and aims for a high LEED operational certification.

Pikaia Lodge is located on Santa Cruz Island, in the center of the Archipelago, nearby secluded white sandy beaches and wildlife sites of the Galapagos National Park. Our 31 hectares of land and private wild giant tortoise reserve sit 450 meters above sea level.

From all our public areas and rooms, our guests will enjoy expansive views of the pristine, arid savannah of the adjacent Galapagos National Park by looking north, to extinct volcanic cones shrouded in mist, as well as mountains covered with lush tropical cloud forests, and green pasture farms by looking to the south-west; along with a 270-degree view of the seemingly infinite Pacific Ocean with nearby islands as a backdrop.
