The Grand Circle:
360° San Cristóbal Expedition
Embark on a complete circumnavigation of San Cristóbal Island. Discover iconic landmarks, from the towering Kicker Rock to the pristine Rosa Blanca Bay, on a journey filled with hammerhead sharks, dolphins, and untouched white-sand beaches.
The Experience
The 360° San Cristóbal Tour is the most comprehensive way to explore the geological and biological diversity of the archipelago’s capital island. This full-circle navigation takes you through deep-water channels and shallow coral reefs. From the majestic heights of Cerro Brujo to the legendary snorkeling waters of Kicker Rock, you will witness a parade of Galapagos wildlife: hammerhead sharks, playful dolphins, blue-footed boobies, and manta rays. It is an immersive journey into the wild heart of the Eastern Galapagos.
