WHAT OUR GUESTS SAY

9.3 · Rated Wonderful by 731 Travelers

Tripadvisor Guest

"The little personal touches made all the difference — housekeeping even turned tidying our daughter's room into a small daily game she looked forward to."

Tripadvisor Guest

"Max and Lourdes handled our tour bookings and transport with so much care, it genuinely felt like staying with family instead of at a hotel."

Tripadvisor Guest

"Steps from the pier and surrounded by great food — and Max's own recommendations pointed us to things we never would have found ourselves."

OUR  HISTORY

A Family Story Rooted in Galápagos

Our family's story on Santa Cruz Island began with two very different journeys meeting in one place — our mother, who came from France, and our father, who came from Loja, Ecuador. When they arrived, the island had little infrastructure, and life looked nothing like it does for the visitors who come today.

They built their life here as Santa Cruz grew around them — forming a connection to this island, its people, and its way of life that runs deeper than anything you'll find in a guidebook. That connection continues today through Capitán Max, where we welcome travelers who've come to discover the same islands that raised us.
