DAY 1 SAN CRISTOBAL – PLAYA MANN

You will be picked up at the airport and transferred with an English-speaking driver to your hotel in Puerto Baquerizo Moreno. A great advantage is the location of the airport, which is only 5 minutes from the village. In the afternoon, you can choose between paddle boarding or kayaking (due to availability) activity in the harbor of Playa Mann. Sea lions will be guaranteed!

DAY 2 KICKER ROCK
Today, you will have a day tour of Kicker Rock, with lunch and snorkeling (equipment included). In a small boat, you will set for the lava formation in the middle of the ocean called Kicker Rock. The boat will anchor, and you will jump from the boat to snorkel in the canal in between the rock formations. Here, you will be able to spot marine turtles, rays, different shark species (sometimes even hammerheads), and more. After snorkeling, you will continue to Manglecito or a similar beach. These white coral beaches offer a nice opportunity to swim in shallow waters, walk around, and relax before returning to Puerto Baquerizo Moreno. You will have a box lunch on board.

Epic Tour Of Ecuador
This vacation was absolutely EPIC!! Everything went as planned. Great guides, and beautiful scenery. Everything about it was great.
This is a go-go-tour. We added a few days in between for rest and relaxation. I would probably add one more day.
Wonderful wonderful time!!

Galapagos Adventure
We went with Rebecca Adventure Travel to the Galapagos and experienced some of the best snorkeling of our lives! Of the tour operators we talked to, Rebecca Adventure Travel was by far the most responsive and provided a lot of small but important touches to our day tour.

Land-based tour of the…
We got a lot of help to customize it to our interests. Overall the experience was very good. They arranged day tours at each destination and all transfers. We had great tour guides, they were timely, the boats were great, and they fed us well. The snorkeling guides were very professional.
