Before you cross the door at CamelBackpackers, forget about any pre-conceived idea of “hostel” that you might have. Leaving that concept outside, you’ll come into CamelBackpackers Hostel, to realize this place is way cooler than most hostels out there! What makes CamelBackpackers special?

During our stay in Isabela Island, Galapagos, Cormorant Beach House was our very own property at the beach.
