SustainabilityintheKitchen
Sustainability at Pikaia Lodge is not a feature layered onto luxury, it is the foundation the entire experience is built upon.
We source from three highland farms in Santa Cruz under direct, ongoing supply agreements, and partner with two Puerto Ayora fishing cooperatives for the fresh fish and seafood that define our daily menu.
Every protein is grown, raised, or caught within Galápagos regulations — never an endangered species, and prioritizing local produce over imported goods we hold to a zero-food-waste policy.
