Join us for a relaxing day of snorkelling and exploring the beautiful beaches of San Cristobal Island!
On this tour, we will visit the following iconic points of the San Cristobal area:
Rosa Blanca:
It's a small bay located northeast of San Cristobal Island. It has several small beaches, but its main attraction is the large beach located in the centre of the small bay,where there are many dunes added to its crystal-clear waters, generating an attractive landscape unique to the area. The entire bay of Rosa Blanca and its lowlands is an ideal area for fishing wahoo, palometa, ojon, liza and cod. Furthermore, the area is home to a variety of marine life, including sharks, rays and sea turtles, which provide an excellent opportunity for snorkelling activities.
Sardina Bay:
The location is renowned for its fishing opportunities, offering a diverse range of species, including sardines, mackerel, octopus, lobster, shrimp and more. Bahia Sardina comprises two beaches, offering visitors the opportunity to enjoy the area's natural attractions. These include small white sand dunes and crystalline waters, which are ideal for snorkelling. The bay is home to a large population of sea turtles, rays and sea lions, providing an additional source of interest for visitors.
This remarkable landmark is situated approximately an hour and a half's drive to the northeast of Puerto Baquerizo Moreno. Kicker Rock, also known as Leon Dormido, is a striking remnant of a vertical tuff cone formation, rising to an impressive height of almost 153 metres (500 feet) above the ocean. The erosion has given the rock its characteristic shape, which some see as a shoe, hence the name Kicker Rock. Others see it as a sleeping sea lion, hence the Spanish name of Leon Dormido (Sleeping Lion).
While we snorkel around Kicker Rock we can spot sea turtles, marine iguanas, rays, Galapagos sharks, tropical fish and if luck is on our side we can even see hammerhead sharks. Besides enjoying the underwater view, we can usually see blue-footed boobies, masked boobies and frigatebirds on the cliffs as well as sea lions along the shore.
