The Snorkel Tour to Kicker Rock departs from Puerto Baquerizo Moreno's Main Pier, with a sailing time of approximately one hour and thirty minutes to this renowned spot located north of San Cristobal Island. Known locally as "León Dormido" (Sleeping Lion) due to its distinctive shape, Kicker Rock is famous for its exceptional snorkeling and scuba diving opportunities in clear waters teeming with diverse marine life. During the snorkeling session in open water beside the pinnacle rock, you can expect to encounter sea turtles, eagle rays, sea lions, hammerhead sharks, Galapagos sharks, and an array of other fascinating sea creatures. After snorkeling, the tour typically proceeds to a second spot for more snorkeling or allows time to relax on one of the nearby beaches such as Manglecito, Puerto Grande, or Cerro Brujo, depending on the itinerary and permits granted by the operator. Experience the natural beauty and underwater wonders of Kicker Rock, a highlight of any visit to the Galapagos Islands.
