San Cristobal
This is a full day focused on the water and coastal areas around San Cristobal. You'll start at Rosa Blanca bay with its clean beaches and sand dunes, where snorkeling brings you face to face with sea turtles and rays. From there, Sardina Bay offers white sand beaches and different marine life to explore. The highlight for most people is snorkeling at Kicker Rock (León Dormido), a 153-meter rock formation that juts straight up from the ocean. Down there you might see sea turtles, marine iguanas, Galápagos sharks, and if you're lucky, hammerhead sharks, plus various seabirds and sea lions hanging around.
