The Tortoise Dome Lodge

Experience the magic of the Galápagos Islands in a unique eco-glamping dome surrounded by pure nature.
Walk freely among giant tortoises, explore natural lava tunnels, and enjoy the company of native birds singing around more than 14 varieties of fruit trees.

Your stay includes a guided tour where you’ll discover endemic vegetation, volcanic formations, and the beauty of Galápagos nature.
Each morning, enjoy a fresh homemade breakfast made with fruits harvested right from the property.

The eco dome blends modern comfort with sustainability, featuring a queen-size bed, private bathroom, hot shower, and a peaceful natural setting.
Located just minutes from Puerto Ayora, it’s easy to access by taxi, bus, or bike — yet surrounded by serenity and wildlife.

Perfect for travelers seeking an eco-friendly, authentic, and unforgettable stay with the true spirit of the Galápagos Islands.

🌿 Live the experience — tortoises, lava tunnels, birds, and fruit trees await you at Galápagos Frontier.
The cottage features a separate bedroom.
