Pikaia Lodge

"Constructed out of recycled materials this lodge was created to revitalize the islands’ economy through their land‑based tourism model. Both locals and the environment benefit from the job opportunities created here, including fishermen who once illegally poached sharks for their fins, now run day‑tour dives. The resort itself is totally carbon neutral, operating on alternative energy resources to reduce environmental impact. All this in the midst of a private wild giant tortoise reserve."
