What to expect
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.
Nestled in the heart of Puerto Baquerizo Moreno, Dona Pilo is a vibrant bar that offers a unique blend of local flavors and stunning views. It's an ideal spot for tourists looking to unwind and soak in the island's laid-back atmosphere.
The experience can be subject to change due to bad weather or unforseen circumstances. We always endeavour to give you the best possible experience.
