Highlights
  • San Cristobal - On this tour, we will visit the following iconic points of the San Cristóbal area:

Rosa Blanca:

It’s a small bay located northeast of San Cristóbal Island. It has several small beaches, but its main attraction is the large beach located in the center of the small bay where there is a large number of dunes. added to its crystal clear waters generate an attractive landscape unique to the area. The entire bay of Rosa Blanca and its lowlands is an ideal area for fishing of wahoo, palometa, ojón, liza, cod. Additionally, there are shark, ray and sea turtle species that are the ideal complement for snorkeling activities.

  • Isla Lobos - Sardina Bay:

It’s characterized for being a place for fishing of several species such as sardines, liza, octopus, lobster, shrimp, among others. Bahía Sardina includes two beaches whose attractions are its small white sand dunes together with its crystalline waters suitable for snorkeling, taking into account that in this bay there is a large presence of sea turtles, rays and sea lions

  • Kicker Rock - This amazing landmark located about an hour and a half to the north east of Puerto Baquerizo Moreno, Kicker Rock / Leon Dormido is a remnant of a vertical tuff cone formation, rising almost 153 meters (500 feet) from 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 or Leon Dormido in Spanish.

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.

Incredible day at sea, highly recommend! - Phenomenal after we got past the rough boat ride SE (2hrs), Smooth sailing! The guides, the captain, the crew were accommodating, attentive and always on the look out for animals. We snorkeled twice, playing with the ever friendly sea lion pups. Sea Turtles, sharks, sea urchins, star fish, exotic plant life were plentiful. We walked a path over land volcanic rock, rested on a beach, learned about nature from our passionate guide. Plus snacks, galore and lunch on the boat. The last snorkeling spot was at kicker rock. You don’t want to miss this opportunity, for a beginner snorkeled it was intimidating at first, but once I relaxed and breathed normally there was a stillness that is hard to describe. On the return journey two unexpected surprises: a dolphin pod numbering in the 100’s and then a humpback whale with a baby.

Exhilarating snorkel trip - This was an excellent tour especially the last stop at Kicker Rock. Here we saw at least 2 dozen large hammerhead sharks swimming 10 - 20 meters below us. The adrenaline was really flowing but i still felt safe. This area has strong currents and recommend only strong swimmers go in the channel between the the 2 large tock formations. Others should stay outside that area and you will still see those hammerheads, white and black tipped sharks. Even sea turtles and swimming there snd the water is so clear to about 50 meters. Awesome spot to snorkel!

Great all round! - We visited 7 different locations and there were 4 different snorkelling spots including Kicker Rock in which time you can swim with hammerhead sharks, black tip sharks, turtles, puffer fish and seals. The boats were small with a maximum of 10 people on board. Lunch and refreshments were on board. All snorkelling gear and wet suits were included in the price. Don't forget tablets for sea sickness as the waters can be choppy and don't forget a hat and plenty of sunscreen as i saw a few burnt bodies out there! Great day which also allowed us to visit beatiful coves and if you are into birds there is the opportunity to spoty 3 types of booby (birds) and frigate birds also.

Circumnavigate San Cristobal Island...plus - This is a looooong boat ride around the island. We visited all the sites in the description and it seemed like we visited even more places than were listed. This is a loooooong boat ride. Some folks, even the 20-somethings, took naps along the way. Beautiful scenery and an OK lunch. Our guide seemed to enjoy working hard to ensure that each and every guest had a good time. Management folks in the office were effective and helpful.

Never book with these people - Never book with these people. After taking our money and booking us for a very expensive excursion, they told us they didn't have room on that day and that we would have to come two days later. Then my travel companion got covid when they did have room for us, but they refused to give us a refund, not caring at all that we could come on the excursion and infect everyone else on the trip.

Don't get ripped off! - The 360 Degree tour itself is wonderful and I highly recommend it. That said, DO NOT book with Viator or Perfect Destiny - they charge $100 more than the tour costs if you book with any of the agencies that actually take you out. It's a complete ripoff. Book the 360 tour elsewhere!
