The 360° Tour is one of the most complete marine experiences on San Cristóbal Island. Designed for travelers who want to explore several of the island's most iconic locations in a single day, this excursion combines snorkeling, pristine beaches, panoramic navigation, and incredible wildlife encounters while sailing around much of the island's coastline.

Unlike tours focused on a single destination, the 360° Tour allows you to experience a variety of landscapes and ecosystems, making it an excellent option for those who want a broader view of San Cristóbal.

🏝 Rosa Blanca

Your adventure begins at Rosa Blanca, a beautiful bay surrounded by white sand dunes and crystal-clear turquoise waters.

This protected bay is one of the island's best snorkeling sites, where—depending on sea conditions—you may swim alongside white-tip reef sharks, sea turtles, rays, tropical fish, and playful sea lions.

The combination of volcanic landscapes and transparent waters makes Rosa Blanca one of San Cristóbal's most spectacular natural attractions.

🏖 Bahía Sardina

The next stop is Bahía Sardina, a secluded white-sand beach with calm, crystal-clear waters.

Here you'll have time to relax, enjoy the beach, swim, and appreciate the peaceful surroundings before continuing the adventure around the island.

🦈 Kicker Rock (León Dormido)

The tour continues with a snorkeling session at Kicker Rock (León Dormido), one of the most iconic marine sites in the Galápagos.

This impressive volcanic formation rises dramatically from the ocean and provides habitat for an extraordinary variety of marine life.

Depending on the season and ocean conditions, you may encounter:

  • Hammerhead sharks

  • White-tip reef sharks

The towering volcanic cliffs are also home to numerous seabirds, making this an excellent location for wildlife photography.

Is This Tour Right for You?

The 360° Tour is ideal for travelers who want to explore several iconic locations around San Cristóbal in one full-day adventure and enjoy spending time on the ocean.

Because the itinerary circles much of the island, it includes longer navigation times than most other excursions.

From June through October, sea conditions around San Cristóbal are typically rougher due to stronger ocean currents and swells.

If you are prone to seasickness, we recommend taking motion sickness medication before departure.

If your main priority is spending more time snorkeling at Kicker Rock with shorter navigation times, you may prefer our Kicker Rock & Beach Tour, which is specifically designed around that experience.
