Itinerary
All passengers need to arrive at the agency at 8h00 in the morning of their tour, where we will outfit everyone with diving equipment, includes a long wetsuit, boots, fins, regulator, BCD vest, mask, snorkel, weights and two diving tanks.
At 8h30, we will head to the Muelle Acuario I and Zarpe, where you will meet your naturalist guide and we will embark.
Navigation to Kicker Rock, where you can see the majestic rock upright of volcanic lava. Once we arrive at the place, the dive guide will proceed to give you the dive briefing. 2 dives are made, the first; from the channel between the two rocks and a second dive in the west corner of the rock. The dive guide will be able to suggest some other site of the rock depending on the sea conditions. Each dive lasts approximately 45 minutes, they also have a surface interval of approximately 1 hour between dives. In this place you will be able to appreciate different marine species such as Galapagos shark, white and black tip sharks, hammerhead shark, turtles, manta rays, sunfish, dolphins, sea lions, starfish, sea urchins, and assorted fish species, etc.
Once the Kicker Rock has been visited, the passengers will have a landing on a beach that could be Manglesito / Puerto Grande / Cerro Brujo, depending on the itinerary of the boat. Here they will have lunch on board the boat. They will also have time to take a walk on the beach and do some snorkeling activity.
The return to the port is at approximately 15h00 in the afternoon depending on the ocean conditions.
*This itinerary is subject to change at the discretion of the Galapagos National Park and your naturalist guide. For example, you might visit the beach first and Kicker Rock second in certain cases depending on ocean conditions. We take safety seriously, and always strive to provide you with the best and safest experience.
*In light of the pandemic, we will be implementing stringent cleaning policies. Every piece of the diving equipment will be thoroughly disinfected between uses, and the agency and boat will be wiped down daily or between tours, whichever is more often. Hand sanitizer will be available at all times, and we will adhere to protocols recommended by the National Park. Your–and our–safety comes first.
