Itinerary: 4 Days San Cristobal & Southern Islands
Day 1: San Cristobal Island: Kicker Rock
This striking rock formation is located a couple hours off the western shore of San Cristobal. Jutting out of the water, the rocks stand vertically at hundreds of feet above the ocean divided by a small channel. Although there are no landing areas, kayaking and scuba diving allow visitors to spot a variety of marine life.
Day 2: Española island: Punta Suarez & Gardner bay
This area is great for spotting blue-footed boobies, albatrosses and Nazca boobies. A beautiful site on the ocean front, the large waved albatrosses use the cliff as a launching pad. The famous attraction is the magnificent blowhole, spurting water high into the air. This site presents wonderful photograph opportunities.
Day 3: Floreana island: Punta Cormorant & Champion Islet
This day we will have one of the most interesting and remote visits, we will be in Wolf and it is considered as a sanctuary for its abundant and diverse marine wildlife.
