Snorkeling with Sea Lions & Penguins at Kicker Rock

Plunge into the sapphire waters of Kicker Rock (León Dormido), one of the Galápagos' most iconic dive sites. Swim alongside playful sea lions, Galápagos penguins, and hammerhead sharks in a UNESCO World Heritage seascape.

What to expect

A panga (motorized skiff) whisks you 45 minutes to the dramatic twin lava towers of Kicker Rock, rising 148 m from the ocean. You'll snorkel along the narrow channel between the cliffs, drifting over sea turtles and white-tipped reef sharks. Galápagos sea lions routinely buzz within arm's reach, performing barrel rolls around snorkelers. Your naturalist guide narrates the extraordinary geology and endemic wildlife throughout.
