The 10 Best Trips to Surprise Your Mom With on Mother’s Day

Best for: eco-conscious moms 

For a next-level Mother’s Day gift, hop on a plane with Mom and head south for an eco-luxury adventure at the Pikaia Lodge in the Galapagos Islands. The hotel offers an excellent alternative to cruising. The 14-room property, located on one of the most well-preserved UNESCO natural heritage sites in the world, is supremely environmentally friendly. It was built using recyclable, natural materials, and boasts a carbon-neutral footprint. It even uses biodegradable cleaning products, supports local businesses, and has planted more than 12,000 trees to foster an animal sanctuary. During your stay, explore the trails that wind through indigenous forests (you might even spot a wild giant tortoise), then retreat to the Japanese-zen-style Sumaq Spa.
