We will travel to Kicker Rock, also known as the Sleeping Lion (Leon Dormido) due to its resemblance, in the early morning by speedboat. We will cross a small channel that can be navigated by small boats is formed by the eroded remains of a lava cone and two vertical rocks that rise 500 feet above the ocean. Due to the abundance of tropicbirds, frigate birds, and boobies in this area, this natural landmark in the Galapagos Islands has become a popular tourist destination. The clear waters beneath the water provide a stunning display of colorful tropical fish, including rainbow fish, as well as sharks, including hammerhead, reef, and white tip sharks. After lunch, we go to Cerro Brujo, an island full of raucous, frolicking sea lions who will open their fins to welcome us into their home.
