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.
Good to know
