- Kicker Rock - This impressive natural monument is situated roughly 90 minutes northeast of Puerto Baquerizo Moreno. Known as Kicker Rock or Leon Dormido, it is the remains of an ancient vertical tuff cone structure, towering about 153 meters (500 feet) above the sea level.
The natural erosion process has sculpted the rock into its distinctive shape, which some interpret as a boot, leading to the moniker Kicker Rock. Others liken it to a slumbering sea lion, or Leon Dormido in Spanish.
As we snorkel in the vicinity of Kicker Rock, we have the opportunity to observe sea turtles, marine iguanas, rays, Galapagos sharks, and a variety of tropical fish. With a bit of fortune, we might also catch a glimpse of hammerhead sharks. In addition to the marine life, the cliffs are often home to blue-footed boobies, masked boobies, and frigatebirds, while sea lions are frequently spotted lounging along the coastline.
