One of San Cristobal’s main attractions is Kicker Rock (often referred to by its Spanish name: León Dormido), a rock formation close to the coast, which like its name says, resembles a sea lion. The Kicker Rock snorkel tour boats leave the port at 9h30. This is one of the best places to see hammerhead sharks, and you can also observe sea turtles, reef sharks and sometimes sea lions. The tour includes a beach visit at either Manglecito, Cerro Brujo or Playa Grande, depending on the designation of the Galapagos National Park.

Travel Time: 45 minutes – *1 hour from Puerto Baquerizo Moreno.
