Kicker Rock Dive Tour

The Leon Dormido, also called “Kicker Rock” is a rock formation in the middle of the ocean off Stephens bay, about an hour and a half northeast of Puerto Baquerizo. Leon Dormido has its name because of its resemblance to a sleeping lion. The island is an imposing, vertical, sheer-walled tuff cone that has been divided in two due to erosion. Its dramatic cliffs and the canal between the rocks are home to some precious wildlife like blue-footed boobies, frigatebirds, playful sea lions and red-billed tropicbirds on the surface. Underneath the surface it is a great habitat for Galapagos sharks, Whitetip Sharks, Large Rays, Pelagic and Reef Fish, Sea Turtles, Sea Lions. The perfect place for divers and snorkeling.

Kicker Rock is one of the most visited places for tourists arriving to Galagos through the San Cristobal airport. This discovery dive tour will take you to discover the amazing underworld of the Galapagos islands, no need of a padi licence. Our master divers will give you all the tips and preparation for the summation and they will accompany you all the way.

The weather in the islands is generally warm but there are some months were we have some rain, so it will be a good idea to bring a rain jacket. Of course don’t forget your sunscreen, swimsuit, sunglasses, comfortable shoes and of course a camera.
