Most expensive most likely not, but I read it about their top-suite. Most exclusive is always critical. Which one is the most exclusive in London? I guess we get st least 10 answers....

Casa Gangatena is a good choice with a wonderful location. Mashpi Lodge is an astonishing design but in our experience underwhelming as far as the wildlife is concerned.

I believe that any land-based visit to the Galapagos will be underwhelming animal-wise compared to a sea-based visit.

Consider Nimmo Bay if Clayoquot doesn't work out (actually even if it is available)

I would choose Nimmo over Clayquot in a nanosecond. Tweedsmuir would be my first choice but so difficult to score a place.

Agreed! Having done a cruise there, can't imagine how land based could work especially for some of the islands that can't be done on a day trip
