REYA Communications Appointed PR Agency of Record for Galapagos Safari Camp

What was announced?

REYA Communications has been appointed the PR Agency of Record for Galapagos Safari Camp, the pioneering luxury tented safari retreat in the Galapagos Islands.


The partnership will focus on strategic media relations, brand storytelling, and visibility for the camp’s land-based safari model and conservation-driven mission.


What is Galapagos Safari Camp?

Founded in 2007 by Stephanie Bonham-Carter and Michael Mesdag, Galapagos Safari Camp is an independent, family-owned luxury retreat located in the highlands of Santa Cruz Island.


The camp features:

  • Nine canvas safari tents

  • One private three-bedroom family villa

  • Personalized itineraries combining land and sea exploration

  • Expert-led excursions to uninhabited islands

  • Highland forest treks and diving experiences

It was the first tented safari concept in Latin America.


How does the camp differ from traditional Galapagos cruises?

Galapagos Safari Camp operates as a land-based alternative to cruise travel.

Guests explore the islands by boat during the day while returning each evening to a private wilderness setting. This model allows:

  • Greater flexibility in pacing

  • More personalized itineraries

  • Expanded land exploration

  • Increased privacy and space


What sustainability initiatives define the brand?

Galapagos Safari Camp integrates conservation into operations through:

  • Low-impact canvas tent design

  • Responsible sourcing and dining practices

  • Rainwater harvesting systems

  • Galapagos Petrel Conservation support

  • Endemic Garden Reforestation Project

The camp focuses on minimizing environmental footprint while fostering ecological restoration.


What will REYA Communications lead?

Under this appointment, REYA will oversee:

  • Strategic media outreach

  • Brand positioning

  • Digital-forward PR initiatives

  • Storytelling around conservation and community engagement


REYA represents independent, family-owned travel brands committed to responsible tourism and social impact.
