Overview
The only way into Black Turtle cove is by panga (motorised dinghy). This "secret" corner of the Galapagos feels like your own personal hideout, and once the panga motor is shut off you're surrounded only with the gentle sounds of nature as you drift through the mangroves.
Rich with wildlife, you'll often see Galapagos green turtles feeding, or even mating, in the calm water, as well as different shark species and Galapagos rays.
This is a very different visitor site, showing another side to the Galapagos away from the noise of surf on the beaches and barking sea lions.
