Tagus Cove is a protected cove on Isabela that is approximately 5 miles from the channel separating the islands of Fernandina and Isabela. This site allows you to observe many species of birds, including the flightless comorant and Galapagos penguins. You can go light hiking, snorkeling, kayaking or a zodiak ride along the coast. This site is only accessible with a naturalist cruise.
Dive site
Depending on where you launch, you will reach a gentle sandy slope or dive along a wall located just at the southeast exit of the cove. The wall is made up of several cellars, whose sandy bottom is teeming with life. This site is ideal for observing macro species, such as blennies, seahorses and slugs. You can also observe various species of fish and impressive lava formations. The sites offer depths varying between 20 and more than 130 feet (6 to +40 m). This site is only accessible by diving cruise but is rarely visited.
