Directions

Kicker Rock, otherwise known as Leon Dormido, is a sightseeing hotspot set in the breathtaking Galapagos Islands. Located close to San Cristobal Island, this giant rock formation makes for an impressive view from a distance. The sight resembles the shape of a sleeping lion and, depending on where you look from, can also appear like a boot; hence its alternative name ‘Kicker Rock’. Activities such as snorkeling and diving mean visitors can admire the beautiful marine life, with many species of sea birds as well as rays, sea turtles, and hammerhead sharks all spotted. Kicker Rock can be visited both on cruises or by day tours, making it accessible for everyone looking to explore the Galapagos.
