Frequently Asked Questions

What kind of wildlife can we realistically expect to see around Casa 19, given its proximity to Reserva Marina Galera San Francisco?

We love the marine life encounters here. While you're not deep in the bush, expect to see playful sea lions and a variety of seabirds right from the lodge's vantage points. On boat excursions into the Reserva, we've spotted humpback whales during their migration season and dolphins that often race our boat.

What's the best time of year for us to plan a visit to Casa 19 to maximize our chances of incredible sightings?

For us, the sweet spot is from June to October. This is when the humpback whales are most active in the waters near the Reserva, and the weather is generally drier and more pleasant for exploring. Even outside these months, the resident sea lions and abundant birdlife offer constant fascination.

Beyond the stunning views, what makes the lodge experience at Casa 19 feel so special?

The lodge feels luxurious and timeless, a true sanctuary after a day of exploring. We particularly appreciate the intimate atmosphere and the personalized service from the staff who seem to anticipate your every need. The locally sourced meals are exceptional, and we always look forward to enjoying them with a glass of wine as the sun sets.

What should we pack for a stay at Casa 19, considering it's a coastal safari lodge in Ecuador?

We recommend packing light, breathable clothing suitable for warm, humid weather, along with swimwear and a good sun hat. Don't forget reef safe sunscreen, insect repellent, and comfortable walking shoes for any land excursions. Binoculars are a must for spotting distant wildlife, and a waterproof bag is handy for boat trips.

Are there any specific safety considerations we should be aware of when staying at Casa 19 and exploring the surrounding area?

The lodge itself is very secure, and the staff are excellent at ensuring guest safety. When venturing out, especially on boat tours, always follow your guide's instructions regarding wildlife interaction and swimming. The currents can be strong, so heed their advice about safe areas.
