      After lunch visit Playa Mann, a beautiful white beach located just outside the village of Puerto Baquerizo Moreno, within a walking distance of about 15 minutes. The purity of its waters makes it an ideal spot for snorkeling and you have a high chance of seeing Galapagos sea lions here.


      End your activities of the day with a Ceviche Cooking Class, this activity is an amazing way to get to know the local and fresh produce of the Galapagos Islands and the delicious fish ceviche you can make with a local expert, Mrs. Barbara!

      Kicker rock is made up of two volcanic rocks 140 meters tall, located off the coast of San Cristobal Island. When viewed from the south, the rocks look like a sleeping lion, which is why the Spanish name is Leoฬn Dormido. From another side it looks like a boot, hence the English name Kicker Rock.


      This rock formation in the middle of the water is the favorite place for an array of marine birds and great underwater life. The natural erosion of this ancient cone has created a channel between the rocks that provides the ideal habitat for a variety of sharks, manta rays, and any other aquatic wildlife.
