6th October Galapagos San Cristobal


After a short time in the Luis' House I can say that the owner tried to cheat almost all the time. If you decide to stay here you need to be careful.

This day I decided to have a day tour to the Kicker Rock.
The tour started at 9am and we were boarded on a small catamaran.
It was a snorkeling trip. The price $50 including a wetsuit and snorkeling equipment.

The first snorkeling place was a 'Isla Lobos'.
Our tour guide was first in the water with their rescue wheel. It was a good option for people who don't feel good in the ocean and from time to time need a break.
This place was amazing, a lot of different fish, sea lions in the water and turtles too.

After 45 min there we went to the Kicker Rock where the first swimming place was between two rocks. Our catamaran left us on one side and we swam above sharks to the other side.
Unfortunately, the sharks were about 7 meters below us. Of course, the first feeling was incredible.
Near the rock we had a lunch break and we saw a whale who played with us. It was a good game, everybody was searching for him and he appeared somewhere unexpectedly. Afterwards, we had another 30 minutes of snorkeling and one shark was really close to me - it was a 1 meter baby shark.

The last stop for snorkeling was on a sandy beach. I knew that we were going there but for me it wasn't nothing special as I couldn't see anything in the water.

We arrived at 4pm and I went to the Carola Point to swim with the turtles.

Tomorrow at 6.30 local time we have our transfer to Santa Cruz.
