We stopped at Isla Lobos on the way to the Kicker Rock. And although we were hoping to visit the island itself, as there were many boobies and frigate birds nesting there, we were told that the visits are no longer possible.The snorkeling along the shore was quite nice with the playful sea lions, marine iguanas, even saw several eagle rays. We were lucky to be the first one in the water and the last ones out, so that gave us more chance to soak the marine life in.
Nice halfday tour to Isla Lobos. Good place to spot Frigatebirds, blue footed Boobies, Iguanas and specially sealions. After a short walk over lava stones we ended a a beach with lots of sealion pups with their mums. Nice so see them so close. After we did sime snorkeling in clear blue fresh water. Wesuit recommended! So much fun and great ecperience to snorkel with the sealions who were as curious as I was. They come quite close to you and play around. Great experience. Best snorkel with sealions so far!Highly recommended when on Cristobal (actually a must)
lots of sea lions to swim with, watch out for the big daddy though! Not much else to see if there weren't sea lions.
Baby sea lions everywhere! Plus blue-footed boobies, marine iguanas, and frigate birds. The juvenile sea lions are so interactive with snorkelers! Highlight of the trip!
Man kann wunderbar Seelöwen , je nach Jahreszeit, mit Nach-wuchs beobachten. Wird in Verbindung mit Las Grietas an-geboten, mit Glück im Glasbodenboot.
This was part of our trip to Kicker Rock. For birders - we saw Lava Herons, Lava Gulls, Blue-footed and Nazca Boobies plus a variety of Darwin finches.
Stopped on our way to kicker rock. Tons of baby sea lions! We spent about 1.5 hour snorkelling with them and they were great to swim with. Water current can get pretty strong in some areas so I suggest strong swimmers.
There were sea lions around here and were willing to play around with you. Need to go with a small group and not when there are 2 or 3 boats already there.
The animals are not afraid of people, you can get quite close to them for pictures. It's rocky and sandy, but there are places you can snorkel. A baby sea lion came up to me while I was snorkeling and looked right in to my goggles!
This was one of my favourite visits in the Galapagos. I travelled as part of a cruise so I'm not sure whether you can travel here independently. Plenty of wildlife, especially sea lion pups and their mum's, but also plenty of marine iguanas and blue footed boobies.
