  • DAY 2 KICKER ROCK
    Rebecca Adventure Travel Kicker Rock

    After breakfast, you go by boat to snorkel at Kicker Rock, one of the most spectacular landmarks in the Galapagos Islands. It is composed of two volcanic rocks 140 meters tall, located off the coast of San Cristobal Island. Viewed from the south, the rocks look like a sleeping lion, which is why the Spanish name is “León Dormido” (sleeping lion). On the other side, it looks like a boot, hence the English name: Kicker Rock. This tiny island is the favorite place for an array of marine birds and great underwater life. The natural erosion of this ancient cone has created a channel between the rocks that provides the ideal habitat for a variety of sharks and rays. In the afternoon, you go back to the hotel.

    Rebecca Adventure Travel Galapagos Snorkeling

    After breakfast, your guide will take you to what is said to be one of the best snorkeling places in the world, Los Tuneles. The water is shallow, calm, and very clear- a sea sanctuary. Lava flows have produced unique geological formations: a series of arcs and tunnels underneath and above the water which make an ideal habitat for many local Galapagos Species. The entrance to the site is shallow and the waves can be strong, for this reason, the access can be complicated. You will have a snack on board and then return to Puerto Villamil.
