Kicker Rock (Leon Dormido) is a rock formation that rises above the sea located in the western part, on the outskirts of San Cristóbal Island.
Your adventure starts at the dock of Puerto Baquerizo Moreno, where the local operator will take you to the boat in order to move to Leon Dormido. This amazing landmark located about an hour and a half to the northeast of Puerto Baquerizo Moreno is a remnant of a vertical tuff cone formation, rising almost 153 meters (500 feet) from the ocean.
The erosion has given the rock its characteristic shape, which some see as a shoe, hence the name Kicker Rock. Others see it as a sleeping sea lion or Leon Dormido in Spanish.
While you snorkel around Kicker Rock you can spot sea turtles, marine iguanas, rays, Galapagos sharks, and tropical fish and if luck is on your side you can even see hammerhead sharks. Besides enjoying the underwater view, youcan usually see blue-footed boobies, masked boobies, and frigatebirds on the cliffs as well as sea lions along the shore.
