Sunrise at Kicker Rock, Galápagos

29/3/2025

On our last night aboard the yacht, we motored from Santa Cruz to San Cristóbal—our final stop before flying back to Guayaquil. But before docking, we reached Kicker Rock just in time for sunrise.
Kicker Rock, also known as León Dormido (or "Sleeping Lion"), is one of the Galápagos' most iconic landmarks. These towering volcanic formations rise steeply out of the ocean and are a magnet for marine life. The channel between the two rock walls is a hotspot for snorkelers and divers hoping to spot sharks, rays, and sea turtles. Above water, it's just as striking, especially when lit by the soft light of dawn.
