Ocean Devotion Retreat:
Galápagos

Nine days in one of the last truly wild places left on earth. Sea lions asleep on the sand next to you. Marine iguanas swimming past your surfboard like it's nothing. Galapagueños who grew up on this water teaching us what it actually means to know an ocean instead of just visiting one. One of the greatest conservation stories of all time. A portal to a land where humans and nature live as one.

Trip of a life time. See the magic of the enchanted isles and discover everything that makes the Galápagos so extraordinary in an intimate group devoted to this place.

❋ Experience the Galapagos

12 small boat trips and 2 expeditions to explore the untouched coasts of the Galapagos - exploring the ocean, following the surf, diving, and making memories.

❋ Boat trips included

Wildlife photography, exploration, marine life, and connecting to the ocean through adventure + conversations. Journaling prompts, learning about local marine biology and conservation and learning about ocean devotion through lived experience.

❋  Ocean Devotion

Surf guide and Ecuadorian national surfer Eddie Salazar is the first surf tour operator on the islands. Many spots are only accessible by boat - we have 12 small boat trips and 2 large charters to take you to some hidden gems with a legendary local crew.

❋ Surf + Snorkel Adventure

something has happened to the way we look at nature

we watch nature on screens constantly now. reels of orcas, slow motion octopus footage, some stranger's drone shot of a whale from four hundred feet up, set to music that tells us how to feel about it before we've felt anything. we know more about the ocean than any generation before us and we have never touched less of it. we've turned nature into content. beautiful content, but there’s something that happens to us when wild nature gets to be something we get to just live in…

you already know this in your body even if you've never said it out loud

there's a version of you that fell in love with the ocean before any of this.

before the pressure, before the career, before you had to explain your relationship to nature at a dinner party. a kid on a beach, a sea lion close enough to smell, a moment where an animal looked at you and you understood, for a second, that you were the visitor here.

that's the part of you this trip is for.

not the part that's been curating a feed of ocean content for three years. the part underneath it, that got quiet somewhere along the way, that still aches a little every time a video of a sea turtle stops your scroll.

Your Crew

We count on this visionary to define strategic priorities, allocate resources responsibly, and ensure every decision reinforces long-term value creation.

Surf + Dive Guide, marine biologist

Timmy Reyes

Timmy Reyes is coming as our photographer, the whole trip, every day, shooting the water, our group, the wildlife, and the surf. this isn't a highlight reel situation. it's someone whose only job for nine days is to catch what's actually happening around you, above the water and below it. Plus he’s our pro-surfer water safety team for all surf + ocean support! Rumor has it he’s gotten the biggest barrel in the Galapagos.

Photographer + Ocean Leader, pro surfer
Surf + Dive Guide, local legend

Eddie Salazar

Eddie is a former national surfing champion and a diver with over 1000 dives on the Galapagos started to provide his surfing and spots knowledge to passing by surfers in 1995 and eventually offered some of the first surf tours on the Galapagos. Since then, surfers have been able to enjoy not only the great galapaguenian waves but also enjoy one of the most amazing national parks in the world. He runs Amangala Surf Co, a small, family owned operation based on the Galapagos islands with over 20 years experience in showing and sharing this magical place that we also call home. (And Eddie came to our wedding!)

This is our third year working with Amagala - hosting, documenting, and leading trips to the Galápagos designed for all types of ocean lovers. We are there to show you the magic beyond what I could explain online… send me a message, a voice memo, connect with us, and ask us questions because this isn’t an average “retreat” … this is a tailored experience for serious ocean lovers.

who this is for

the one who loves animals more than most people. this was built for you first.

the surfer who's a little bored of just surfing. craving something with more depth than wave count, something that asks more of you than just cut back practice. this is true adventure - finding uncrowded waves in remote locations.

the photographer or the creative who wants to document nature. an actual wild place doing what it does whether you're pointing a camera at it or not.

the one who needs to unplug but not with another spa retreat. this is unplugging by way of ocean devotion.

beginners welcome. non surfers welcome. if you love the ocean, there's room here for on this trip. extra experiences
