Your Travel Experience with Galapagos PRO
León Dormido, aka Kicker Rock
Today's excursion takes you from the island of San Cristóbal to the famous Leon Dormido.
An impressive rock formation towering 150 meters above the Pacific Ocean, León Dormido hosts a tropical underwater playground in the narrow channel between the two rocks. From a distance, locals thought they saw a sleeping lion in the rock formation, while, from the other direction, the British saw a boot.
Whether a lion or a boot, the tropical birds at home on León Dormido don't seem to mind. Blue-footed boobies, red-billed tropicbirds, and frigatebirds regularly enchant visitors with their daring flight maneuvers, as they hunt and socialise around this ancient volcanic cone.
In the 19 meters between the surface and the seabed, León Dormido offers snorkelers and divers a dazzling array of sealife. White tip reef sharks, Galapagos sharks and even hammerhead sharks are often spotted darting between eagle rays and sea turtles.
There will be 2 dives for this tour.
