Why Kicker Rock is a must in Galápagos
Kicker Rock rises about 150 metres from the ocean, 1.5 hours by boat from Puerto Baquerizo Moreno. The narrow channel between its two towers drops to great depth, attracting Galápagos sharks, hammerheads, sea turtles, eagle rays and sea lions. On our Tour 360° we snorkel here for 40 minutes to an hour, then continue to Cerro Brujo beach, where Darwin landed in 1835.
