Tagus Cove is a remote anchorage on Isabela Island in the Galápagos where Darwin himself once anchored, offering unparalleled wildlife encounters in one of Earth's most pristine ecosystems. Cruisers experience dramatic volcanic landscapes, endemic species found nowhere else on the planet, and a sense of genuine exploration in this protected marine reserve. The cove's sheltered waters and nearby trails provide intimate access to Galápagos wildlife—from flightless cormorants to Galápagos penguins—that rival any destination in the archipelago.
Bring a second waterproof camera or phone case—the wet landing and snorkeling mean your primary device will get soaked, and Tagus Cove's wildlife moments (flightless cormorants diving, penguins swimming) are once-in-a-lifetime shots you'll want multiple attempts to capture. Ship-side charging stations are limited, so bring an external battery.
