In October and November 2026, Galapagos Safari Camp will be offering two small-group Photography Safaris in the Galapagos, led by Lucas Bustamante, one of the islands’ leading wildlife photographers whose work has been published by National Geographic. The islands provide exceptional opportunities to photograph behavior, form, and environment, both on land and underwater, with animals that are remarkably unconcerned by human presence. While specific sightings can never be guaranteed, species typically encountered include giant tortoises, marine iguanas, sea lions, blue-footed boobies, and Darwin’s finches. October and November fall within the cooler, drier season when mist often settles over the highlands, softening the light and creating atmospheric, luminous landscapes that are hauntingly beautiful.
Our Photography Safaris are designed for enthusiasts who want to experience the islands from the perspective of a professional wildlife photographer and take their work to the next level. Unlike strictly scheduled group tours, this land-based approach at Galapagos Safari Camp offers far more scope to adapt pace, allowing photographers greater freedom to linger, observe, and work a scene when conditions are right. Evenings are spent back at the Camp for relaxed photography workshops to review the day’s images and discuss technique. Set on the edge of the National Park with no fences, the Camp is home to many iconic species and offers wide views out to the Pacific Ocean, providing opportunities to work with atmosphere, color, and scale.
