Is the San Cristobal 360 tour in the Galapagos worth it?

360 tour san cristobal review

After flying into San Cristobal we had the afternoon to explore before our San Cristobal 360 tour the next morning. Since we decided to do a land based vacation in the Galapagos we did day trips each day instead of a cruise. Our tour started at 7:00 am at the Galapagos Excursions Agency in town. They fit us for wet suits and flippers before we embarked on our journey.

Pro Tip: Eat breakfast before the tour- it can be very physically demanding and you’ll want to fuel up before the activities begin.

Turtle and Shark on San Cristobal 360 Tour

Almost as soon as the boat started hitting the waves I became seasick. Our guide offered me a pill that he said was over the counter and helps with seasickness. What’s that saying? Never take candy from strangers? I didn’t care- I took the pill and wasn’t seasick the rest of the day. A few of the others on the tour took it after me so I figured it was fineee.

*I don’t condone taking medication/drugs from strangers, this was my personal decision and I am not a doctor so if you are in a similar situation proceed at your own risk*

Bahia Rosa Blanca

Bahia Rosa Blanca

Along the way, we were greeted by a playful pod of dolphins. We watched them jump around the boat doing flips and showing off before Our first stop – Bahia Rosa Blanca, where we took a short walk and snorkeled. I decided not to wear a wetsuit because I hate them and I certainly regretted it because the water was chilly.

While we were snorkeling we saw giant green sea turtles that were decades old, white tipped sharks, manta rays, and even some puffer fish! When we got back to the boat we were handed out towels and some fresh watermelon for a snack. There was also coffee, tea, Coke, and orange juice available.

Kicker Rock

The second stop on the San Cristobal 360 tour in the Galapagos was at Kicker Rock. I was a little disappointed by this “stop” because we just pulled up to a side of a cliff and saw a few blue-footed boobie birds that were there. But they were so far away you couldn’t make them out very well. We unfortunately did not get to snorkel here on our tour.

Sardina Bay

Before our next snorkel at Sardina Bay we were served lunch on the boat. Logan and I are vegetarian so we were served rice, veggies, and an egg/veggie omelette. The others received similar dishes except they had fish instead of the omelette.

I was glad I wore my wetsuit this time around- because the water was even COLDER on this part of the island. This time we were lucky to catch sight of Galapagos sharks. As Logan went on the picture chase with his mad ocean skills- they went right underneath me. They were HUGE, almost as long as me! There were more ancient sea turtles, angel fish, and other colorful fish.

Back on the boat we stopped for this beautiful shot of Kicker Rock in between this arch on the way to the next stop on the Galapagos 360 tour on San Cristobal.

Punta Pitt - San Cristobal 360 Tour

Punta Point

The final stop on the San Cristobal 360 Tour was at Punta Point. Another snorkel adventure, and by this point I’m starting to lose some steam. I opted for a life vest this round of snorkeling, hoping that it would conserve some of my energy. However I’m not sure if it worked or not but either way it made it easier for me to snorkel.

I don’t enjoy putting my whole head under the water, because getting water in my ears is the worst. So the life jacket was nice to float on. While snorkeling we saw colorful schools of fish, some hammerhead sharks, lots of sea turtles, and a playful sea lion. When we were back on the boat we were served sweet bread and watermelon to refuel our bodies. We certainly didn’t go hungry on this tour!

San Cristobal 360 Tour

So is the 360 tour of San Cristobal worth it? I didn’t realize how much snorkeling, it would be. I would have liked to see more birds, but that’s not what this tour is about. It’s all about the sea life! The San Cristobal 360 Tour was mostly water-based, and Logan, who loves the water, said it was his favorite tour. If you don’t enjoy snorkeling and swimming- this is not the tour for you. But if you’re a water lover- you’ll be happy to know this tour is worth it.

The Kicker Rock, aka Leon Dormido

  • Last Updated: September 23, 2024

The 360 Tour in San Cristobal is the tour you have to book in order to really understand the size of the island, its fauna, and flora, and see all its different landscapes.

It’s a daily tour and you will go by speed boat around the entire San Cristobal island. The exact tour depends on the day but it passes obligatorily in Bahia Rosa Blanca and Kicker Rock (Leon Dormido).

360 Tour: General Details

This tour has to be done with an agency and i chose by recommendation of my local contact the company Galapagos Eco Fishing.

This agency is environmentally friendly and the Naturalist guides are very experienced and well informed. Totally recommend.

  • Highlights: Snorkel at  Kicker Rock  (Leon Dormido), Bahia Rosa Blanca beach, and Punta Pitt bird watching. On our tour, the other two locations (that vary from group to group) were Cerro Brujo and Bahia Sardinia beach.
  • Duration: The entire day (You have to be at 6:30 am at the agency’s entrance)
  • Price: 180$ USD (when I did it in April 2022 it was 150$ USD).
  • Agency/Guide: Galapagos Eco Fishing

How To Do the 360 Tour?

To do the 360 Tour in San Cristobal you need to book it with an agency. I chose by recommendation the Galapagos Eco Fishing company.

You have to book and pay for it at least one day before the tour. They usually don’t accept credit or debit cards so you must have cash with you. There are multiple ATMs on the island so don’t worry. 

On the day of the tour just head really early to their store, around 6:30 if I’m not mistaken (they will tell you when you book it) and they will give you your gear. You will have to try the fins and the wetsuits to get your size right. 

After that, you just head to the port, and the tour starts.

The tour is done in two directions to avoid crowds, one starts in Kicker rock (clockwise) and the other in Bahia Rosa Blanca beach (counterclockwise). 

Before you go I recommend you take the tour that starts in Kicker Rock for two reasons:

  •  As I was told, hammerhead sharks are more active in the morning so in theory, you’ve more chances to see them if you go earlier. The other tour only reaches Kicker Rock at around 2 pm (We didn’t see any Hammerhead). 
  • If you start at Bahia Rosa Blanca beach that’s on the east side of the island it is ALOT rougher to go by boat cause it’s not protected by the island. The waves are big and you need to take a sea-sickness pill. I would say it’s a smoother trip if you have the harsh waves only at the end of the tour and not at the start.

My Experience on the 360 Tour

This was my fourth day on San Cristobal Island and I did this tour together with two friends of mine in a group of 10 people.

We started the tour and we were told we were going to visit Bahia Rosa Blanca beach first. We soon figured out that means rough seas for one hour.

I advise you to take a sea-sickness pill 30 minutes before you start the tour if you go this way first. Luckily the guide had enough pills for all (yes, it’s a common thing to get sea-sick on this trip).

I also advise you to go on the back of the boat because there at least you have fresh air and you don’t feel so much the bumps from the waves.

Blue Footed Booby in Punta Pitt

visiting the Bahia Rosa Blanca Beach

After all the bumps and humps from the sea, we finally reached the Bahia Rosa Blanca beach. 

To reach the beach you have to leave the speedboat and board a smaller inflatable boat that takes you to shore.  

Once you get to the beach you go through a mangrove path and finally reach the beautiful and photogenic part of the beach.

Unfortunately after a couple of minutes, you start seeing the sad reality of this beach. Even though it’s gorgeous, the sand white and the water turquoise, there is plastic garbage everywhere, usually on the waves-breaking-point on high tide. From broken chairs to bottles, flasks, fishing nets, or even parts of toilets. 

Because our tour was an Ecological one we picked up all the garbage we could and placed it in a higher place where we were told that later get collected by another boat. 

After the beach we went for a small hike around the shore (take at least flip-flops cause the floor is lava). On this walk, we saw some nice lakes surrounded by Opuntia cactuses and we ended up on a lagoon where we snorkeled and saw huge turtles, an eagle ray, many stingrays, reef sharks, and many other small fishes.

Bird Watching at Punta Pitt

After Bahia Rosa Blanca we went on with the tour and before we reached Punta Pitt we had some lunch.

On our tour, they tried to fish some tuna with two fishing poles but were unfortunately not very lucky otherwise we would have eaten some sashimi. 

Without the tuna, they prepared us some fish, chicken, and vegetarian menus, which were quite good.

After lunch, we went on to Punta Pitt and did some birdwatching. We saw some swallow-tailed gulls, some tijeretas/frigatebirds, some blue-footed boobies, and red-footed boobies.

A trick to find blue-footed boobies, look for the white spots on the black rocks. It is their poo. Wherever they stop is usually white as you can see in the photos. 

Blue Footed Boobies in Punta Pitt

Visiting Bahia Sardina Beach and Cerro Brujo

After Punta Pitt, which is the easternmost corner of the island the sea stops being so rough and it’s actually a pleasant trip until Bahia Sardina beach and Cerro Brujo.

In Bahia Sardina, we got around 30minutes to snorkel and swim around and those who went to the beach were attacked by horse-flies, a menace in the Galapagos. But still a beautiful beach.

The next stop on the tour was Cerro Brujo, another edge of the island and from here, through a cave it’s possible to see Kicker Rock (Leon Dormido). It’s a highlight and a very beautiful one. 

If you’re lucky on your tour you might end up at Cerro Brujo beach instead of Bahia Sardina or go up to the hill, if I’m not mistaken.

The Bahia Sardina beach

Snorkeling in Kicker Rock (Leon Dormido)

And the last stop of the day, Kicker Rock or Leon Dormido in Spanish (sleeping lion, cause on a certain angle the rock resembles a sleeping lion). 

We went snorkeling here but unfortunately, it was already dark inside Kicker Rock’s channel so we couldn’t see hammerhead sharks or any other shark.

Nevertheless, we saw some sea lions chilling on the side. The visibility was also pretty poor, full of plankton.

So again, go on the morning tour, the other group saw hammerheads and manta rays.

And that’s about it after Kicker Rock we went back to Puerto Baquerizo Moreno and the 360 Tour in San Cristobal was over.

What about you, have you already done the 360 Tour in San Cristobal Island?  Leave me a comment down here if you did and after you did it with your impression.

Thanks for reading through and have fun on this tour!

I’ll drop a couple of my other favorite photos from this tour down below, enjoy!

We like your blogs. Thank you. I went diving on gordon rocks and will do this 360 tour (now 190).

Great to hear that, hope you enjoy the 360 too!

Thank you for this information – super insightful. Do you have any recommendations for tours that go in the opposite direction (visit Kicker Rock first)? I am heading to San Cristóbal in November.

Thank you very much, Maddy

Hey Maddy, you can ask when you book the tour that you want to go on the group that goes first to Kicker Rock. Alternatively if that’s your must see on the island perhaps joining a group of people going there just for diving might be the ideal thing to do. You can just snorkel instead of diving and it costs much cheaper than the scuba-diving option. Here’s an article i wrote about the diving in Kicker Rock. DIVING IN KICKER ROCK

Thank you very much for your help – I will investigate further 🙂

Snorkeling in Bahia Rosa Blanca

Sardine Bay in San Cristobal Galapagos

Rosa Blanca is a small bay situated on the northeast of San Cristobal Island. It’s known for its various small beaches, the main attraction being the largest beach in the centre of the bay that is lined with sand dunes. The unique combination of these dunes and the bay’s crystalline waters make Rosa Blanca an attractive destination for visitors. Visitors can also snorkel in the bay, experiencing sea life including sharks, rays and sea turtles.

Punta Pitt is a short stop for lunch and a demonstration of local, traditional fishing. We do not disembark here, but can appreciate the otherworldly landscape nearby and watch for various endemic bird species, like the Red-footed Booby.

Bahía Sardina comprises two beaches – the draw being their small, white-sand dunes beside the crystalline water, which is perfect for snorkeling. You’ll have a chance to observe (and swim with) sea turtles, rays and sea lions.

We’ll pass by Cerro Brujo , which translates to “Witch’s Hill”, on the way to Kicker Rock, which is characterized by its large rock faces, and where you’ll have the chance to snap photos and observe the birdlife that lives on the rocks.

Roca León Dormido, also know as “Kicker Rock” in English, is an uninhabited islet 30 minutes away from the main dock on San Cristobal. It looks like a large rock formation just off the main island, but is, technically, an eroded cone of volcanic tuff (ash). It reaches up to a height of 148 meters (486 feet)! Kicker Rock is also a refuge for marine birds like the Blue-footed Booby and sea lions. The waters surrounding the island are home to numerous fish species, hammerhead sharks, sea turtles, and rays.

El tour estuvo Increíble. En el snorkel se ven muchísimos animales y las playas son hermosas. La comida en el barco muy buena y todas las personas muy amables. 100% recomendado.

Best tour we did in the Galápagos by far! On the second day on the island we had already seen so much marine life and had a blast doing so. The tour guide was amazing! We talked to many people on San Cristóbal, Isabela and Santa Cruz, and we all agreed that this tour is the best thing you can do. The process of booking it was made very easy and simple thanks to Choko, everything was ready in advance which puts you at ease when you have to take care of hundreds of things when traveling.

The tour 360 on San Cristóbal was a really nice experience, we had the chance to enjoy an amazing beach at Rosa Blanca and we’re lucky to swim with hammerhead sharks at Kicker Rock during our 45 min stop. The guide was very professional and even provided us nice photos from deep ocean. This is one trip that we really recommend while visiting San Cristóbal

It was a pleasure to book our 360 degree tour via ChokoTrip. Booking went smoothly and there were no issues when we arrived in San Cristobal regarding our booking. It was a great trip which we will remember. ChokoTrip is a reliable platform for booking.

Definite a must do on San Cristobal. kicker Rock was awesome and saw hammerheads. Make this a morning stop. Excellent beaches and snorkeled with so many turtles. Choko and his team were excellent as always setting things up. Will definitely use them again.

El Tour de 360 °.en San Cristóbal, fué mi primer Tour en Galápagos. Y también mi primer snorkel. El Tour fué precioso ,y me sentí muy segura haciendo mi primer snorkel con el guía, muy profesional . Vimos tortugas nadando al lado ,rayas más en profundidad y hasta un tiburón martillo al fondo . El guía sacó fotos estupendas con su Gopro ,y nos las dieron gratuitamente una vez terminado el Tour .Un detallazo!! En la excursión visitamos también playas preciosas ,donde nos bañamos con lobitos marinos ,que jugaban alrededor. Con tortugas marinas nadando a nuestro lado . O simplemente contemplar el paisaje maravilloso, mientras veías pescar a los albatros , dormitar los lobos marinos …..Siempre había algo que ver. La excursión fué muy completa , y es muy recomendable. El guía muy profesional y simpático.

See my post on Los Tuneles for more insight into our trip.

Pros and cons for this 360 Tour are as follows. PRO: 1) Amazing wildlife. The beaches are so remote with limited visitors so its definitely one of kind experience. 2) our guide was amazing. He was well informed, enthusiastic, personable and open to have conversation, spoke English very well. 3) Galapagos Eco was very friendly and helpful. 4) Kicker Rock was definitely the highlight. I jumped out solo on this one. Wife and kids stayed on the boat. Best decision given the extent of the swim in open ocean around a pretty big rock! CON: 1) its a LONG time in the boat to get out of the boat only 3 spots. I wish they added more stops to break the long trip. We did slow down in x2 other spots but these were drive-by’s.

The 360 tour was amazing! I recommend it to everyone with a packed schedule who wants to glimpse San Cristóbal Island. All crew were so kind and offered us snacks every time, I didn’t stay hungry during the day. We were able to fish a tuna and we ate sashimi, it was my first time trying it! During the snorkeling activity, I was lucky to see sharks, sting rays, and sea lions!!

Four older women travelled to San Cristobal on an Exoticca Tour of Ecuador. We had a free day on the island and I looked for something worthwhile to do. I decided on the 360 Tour offered by Choko. Our trip to Ecuador ended up being postponed due to Hurricane Ian in the fall of 2022. We rescheduled for February ‘23. and paid in full. I was worried about having done this, but it all worked beautifully. We had a gorgeous day & got to see so many interesting places and animals. Kicker Rock was teeming with life! I was disappointed that we weren’t able to fish for our lunch, but otherwise, the experience was excellent. The crew did an wonderful job keeping us hydrated throughout. Our only complaint was that our naturalist guide was somewhat gruff about one of my friend’s asthma condition. All in all a glorious day!

Great 360 Tour. We saw a pod of Orcas interacting with a Sea Lion. Didn’t end well for the Sea Lion, but was spectacular to watch. Kicker Rock was fun with sharks, fish, tortoises and beautiful scenery. Galapagos Eco Fishing (tour operator) was great and provided us with some amazing footage of our day – both in and out of the water.

My friends and I did the 360 tour on San Cristobal and booked in advance, we were a little worried about paying in advance but everything went quite smoothly. The tour was awesome and we saw a lot of things in one day, we were supposed to do an English tour but our guide spoke barely any….BUT that being said he was our favourite guide of the whole 6 days. Super patient and kind and we had a lot of fun. He was also patient with my fear of snorkelling and making sure to go with me so I definitely recommend.

360 tour: awesome tour, in kicker rock we had the luck to see thousands of fishes because there were a lot of plancton coming from a sea current. We did the 360 tour other way around and it was better because the snorkel at kicker rock was much colder than the other one. We advise again 2 wetsuit to proper enjoy the snorkel. The second snorkel was great as well because we had the chance to see again other turtles, rays and a lot of white reef sharks resting in the water. The food and the guide were great so we totally recommend doing this tour.

After booking, I was unable to go on the tour myself, but my friend did go and he loved it. He would absolutely recommended this tour to others.

Also, as I notified Choko ahead of time that I would be unable to make it, they were able to fill my spot with someone else, and they gave me back a full refund. I am very appreciative of that.

The 360 tour was wonderful. I highly recommend, especially if you’re only in San Cristobal for a short time, like we were. It gives a good overview of the island, while snorkeling and stopping at some awesome beach spots. I particularly enjoyed seeing the sea lions up close on the beach.

our 360 tour was amazing. We didn’t see any hammerheads because it is not hammerhead season, but it was still worth it to snorkel at kicker rock. We saw sharks and turtles and had a great time. Our guide was wonderful, helping my husband who is still getting used to being in the water and snorkeling. He was patient and so super helpful and understanding.

Absolutely a MUST do tour! We stopped in San Cristobal for 2 nights just to do this tour. I chose this based on all the positive reviews and they were all right! We got to fish for our lunch right off the boat. Caught a big Wahoo and the chef made sashimi with it. The tour was fantastic. We had an English speaking naturalist who was extremely informative. Lots and Lots of fun. I would NOT recommend this tour for younger kids. The snorkeling can be a bit rough but worth it. The water is also a bit chilly. This tour is great for kids age 12-13 and older.I I would also like to add that Choktrip was extremely helpful in planning any activities. We opted not to take the ferry shuttle and to fly to Isabella after San Cristobal and Im really happy with that choice.

The 360 tour was awesome. We had a great guide, boat and itinerary. The price is steep but the same as the other local outfits we were able to see an amazing amount of wildlife.

Awesome trip. Guide was fantastic. Great food. First snorkeling spot was great. Saw sharks turtles stingrays. Then caught a fish on the boat. Stopped at punta pitt for great pics. Another snorkel spot and then kicker rock which is fantastic. Tons of turtles, spotted sting rays. Sea lions. Amazing trip. Definite must on San cristibal.

I had some travel issues in Guayaquil (thank you Delta!) and my flight was moved to next day. I called Choko, he made arrangements last minute and booked me and my family a 360 trip

Fantastic experience, great boat, great bilingual guide and crew. That snorkeling experience in Kicker Rock was the most epic moment during my Galapagos trip!

Fully recommended! Thanks again Choko

The 360 tour is definitely the best way to see San Christobal! The snorkeling was great with very fine equipment provided. We made several stops to swim with sea lions, turtles, hammerhead sharks, reys and too many fish to name. There were also great occasions to see blue footed boobies on the clifs. Thanks to Christian for easy advance booking.

The 360 tour was very interesting. You can enjoy fishing and snorkeling as well as sightseeing by boat. Our experience was wonderful, thanks to the fishing masters on board. We were able to watch a fight between the birds and Sharks aimed at tuna and Wahoo.

Very good organized by choko. Tour itself was ok, snorkeling at Kicker Rock was the best in the Tour.

The best part of this tour was snorkeling near Kicker Rock. Beaches also were very nice. We were happy that Choko took care of reservation so we didn’t waste our vacation time looking for tour operator and tours. Thank you, Christian.

It was very fun. Especially it was so exciting to catch some big fish in trolling. And so we could see a lot of Galapagos sharks to eat fish gut.

The 360 tour was absolutely fantastic. Snorkeling at Kicker Rock was incredible. The bird life at Punta Pitt!! Wow! The snorkeling in the sheltered bay with sharks and hanging out on the most astonishing beaches – amazing. We collected our gear at Galapagos Eco Fishing – everything included. There was lunch, snacks, snorkel gear and our guide took GoPro of all the snorkel dives that we got to download as souvenirs. Working with Choko was a breeze. We connected through WhatsApp. It was great to be able to pay him half on the card so we didn’t have to stress getting so much cash in San Cristobal. 100% recommend this 360 tour, San Cristobal generally and definitely recommend booking through Choko. Enjoy the Galapagos and look after them!

If you only have a short time for Galapagos is this trip perfect for you. In only one day you see more than other people in two or three days. The tour was well organised and really interesting. Second best snorkeling after Los Tunnels on Isabela for me. Choko gives you his phone number and you can call him with any problem. At this moment I want to say thank you again for the help with the tour planning and all other things that can happen. It is every time good to have a local person you can call. I would book my tours with Choko again.

I cannot recommend the 360 tour highly enough, originally we had tried to book the separate kicker rock tour but it wasn’t available on the days we wanted so this was suggested as an alternative. I’m so pleased it worked out this way. We are not experienced snorkellers and for myself the snorkelling at Kicker Rock was a little out of my comfort zone but before that we went to a ocean bay where we saw white tipped reef sharks, sea turtles, sea lions and a variety of Rays this for me was the highlight of the day. Even though the snorkelling at kicker rock wasn’t for me it would be a great opportunity for inexperienced snorkellers who want to see if they want to go further or for those who want to see whether diving would be for them. The welcome we were given when we went to the tour company’s Galapagos Eco Fishing to rent our wetsuits was extremely warm and professional. Our guide Fabricio was extremely knowledgable and it was clear that his main aim was to ensure we enjoyed ourselves. My sister didn’t manage the first snorkelling as she has a minor panic attack, when we went to another bay for some chill out time after lunch Fabricio took time out to introduce her slowly to snorkelling, she has since then managed to completed 3 separate trips and enjoyed Kicker Rock much more than me. A fantastic day.

It is a set of eroded volcanic cones and presents a scenery of varied colors, due to its different types of lava, as well as its colorful vegetation, typical of xerophytic plants, in addition to its beautiful climate. Thanks to its geographical location Punta Pitt is one of the few places in the Galapagos Islands where you can find all the three species of booby and the two species of frigate.

360 tour san cristobal review

The word booby refers to clown like feet, this colorful pair call the attention of the tourist but mainly the other bobies, it is a way to show how healthy and well fit they are. The pigments that reflect this blue turquoise color are inclose inside of particular feet cells, when the cells are not complete turgent or immature, the pigment decrease or won't be enough and the color turn pale green. If the cells are weak, the pigment get darker, and the color is dark purple-blue. When the cells are turgents and the pigment well distributed, the result is a bright turquoise which is the best color to breed.

360 tour san cristobal review

The Galapagos sea lion is widely distributed in the archipelago, however the biggest breeding colonies are located in San Cristobal island. The sea lion population was reduce over 50%. The sea lions can include more than 34 species of fish plus octopus and even squids. The breeding success is estimate one young every two years. The females never share milk or adopt, some pups had been seen waiting for the females to fall asleep to steal milk, something that can put their lives in threat.

Sharks are perhaps one of the most ancient fish in our ocean, among this group they have common characteristics like the aerodynamic scales, very small that is impossible to distinguish to the naked eye, when you touch in the right direction you feel like sandpaper. Other important adaptation is the Lorensini fossetts that allow them to feel electromagnetic fields. This organ is very important and highly dense on the hammerheads front and bottom of the head since most of them are bottom feeders using the head like a metal detector, can discover their preys (rays, flounder and sole fish), in dark and muddy bottoms.
