Puerto Egas

Puerto Egas stands apart from other cruise port stops in the Galapagos by its stark volcanic coastline, black lava sand beaches, and a pair of tidal pools that teem with life year-round. The site offers signature experiences that blend land and sea: guided walks along rugged lava formations to panoramic overlooks, encounters with curious sea lions and marine iguanas basking on the rocks, and safe, snorkel-ready waters where colorful reef fish circle your fins. It serves as a gateway to Isabela's western coast and the broader Galapagos archipelago, giving guests a vivid snapshot of the archipelago's geological drama and biodiversity in a compact, accessible footprint. Fleet features on ships that call here include shallow-draft expedition vessels designed to access intimate coves, with spacious observation decks and zodiacs that whisk guests to the tidal pools and sea caves. Onboard services emphasize immersive naturalist storytelling, daily briefings from expert guides, intimate dining experiences featuring fresh seafood and locally inspired dishes, and sustainable practices that align with Galapagos conservation. Because of its proximity to wildlife hotspots and its dramatic scenery, Puerto Egas offers a richer, more intimate encounter than many other ports, turning a single stop into a standout chapter of any Galapagos voyage.
