People come to Galápagos to see the incredible wildlife that makes these islands so special. But every once in a while, it’s nice to be reminded that the feeling might be mutual.

A curious marine iguana pauses among the rocks, comes a little closer, and takes a good look at the visitors.

And right then, you realize you’re not just the observer; you’re part of the encounter.

Pelican Bay, one of Puerto Ayora’s fishermen’s markets, is one of the best places in town to see wildlife up close. Sea lions, marine iguanas, pelicans and other coastal birds are regular visitors here.

Some of our favorite moments happen after our guests return home, when they share the memories they took with them.

Lisa and her family visited us last month, and reading her words reminded us why we love what we do. Knowing that a family felt relaxed, welcomed, and truly connected to the spirit of Galápagos is the greatest reward we could ask for.

Here's what Lisa had to say about her stay:

"Thank you for all of your help. The Angermeyer was perfect. The rooms were spotless and comfortable. Loved being a little bit away but not too far. The views and vibe were just what we needed to start our vacation.
The water taxi was a fun way to get around. And most significantly, the staff at the Angermeyer were outstanding.
A big thank you to everyone for making our stay on Santa Cruz so enjoyable."

Thank you, Lisa, for trusting us with your family's adventure and for sharing such kind words. It was a pleasure being part of your Galápagos journey, and we hope to welcome you back to the islands one day.

Every Full Moon marks the completion of another cycle.
Take a deep breath, let go of what no longer serves you, and make space for what's ready to begin.

Growing up in Galápagos means the ocean is never far away.

But learning to truly understand it is something else.

At the Santa Cruz Sailing Club, young islanders develop confidence, independence, and teamwork while discovering the power of the wind instead of the engine. Every lesson on the water becomes a lesson in patience, responsibility, and respect for the environment they call home.

This past weekend, those lessons came to life as young sailors traveled to San Cristóbal to compete alongside the San Cristóbal Sailing Club. More than a tournament, it was an opportunity to challenge themselves, build friendships across the islands, and celebrate a shared passion for the sea.

These experiences help shape the next generation of Galápagos, fostering not only skilled sailors but young people with a lifelong connection to the ocean and the islands they call home.

Community projects like this are part of what makes Galápagos so special—not only for those who visit, but for those who are fortunate enough to call these islands home.

From the inside.

Where will your path take you this week?

To a new island.
A new adventure.
A new memory.

If you've been dreaming of crystal-clear waters, incredible wildlife, and experiences that stay with you long after you've returned home... maybe it's time to make Galápagos your next destination.

Every journey starts with a single step—the moment you decide it's time for a new adventure.

From the inside.

Sea lions spend much of their day resting, recovering energy after feeding in the ocean.

So if you come across one fast asleep on the beach, give it space, enjoy the moment, and let it continue its nap undisturbed.

And if you listen closely... you might even hear it snoring.

Every year, between May and July, thousands of tiny marine iguanas emerge from nests hidden beneath the sand. For these little reptiles, life begins with one very important mission: don’t get eaten.

This Blue Heron clearly got the memo.

With legs that seem way too long and a beak built like a spear, it patiently stalked one young marine iguana, convinced it had found the easiest lunch of the day. Meanwhile, the baby iguana had other plans.

After a game of hide-and-seek that felt much bigger than its tiny size, the little escape artist disappeared into a bush... and the heron walked away empty-beaked.

Not every hunt ends with a meal, and not every hatchling gets caught. In Galápagos, every day is a reminder that nature writes the best stories.

Every choice we make in Galápagos matters.

It’s a simple change, but one that helps reduce single-use plastic while encouraging travelers to refill, reuse, and explore responsibly. In a place where every ecosystem is unique and every resource is precious, small actions can make a real difference.

Caring for Galápagos isn’t just about protecting its incredible wildlife. It’s also about respecting the people who call these islands home and preserving this special place for future generations.

One refill at a time.
