The experience

The 360° Tour is the most complete experience on San Cristóbal: a full circumnavigation of the island stringing together its best beaches, bays and snorkelling sites in a single epic day.

The route includes stops such as Punta Pitt, Sardine Bay and Cerro Brujo, plus the main event: snorkelling in the channel at Kicker Rock, alongside sharks, turtles and rays.

A full circumnavigation

Sail right around San Cristóbal: cliffs, untouched beaches and wildlife colonies you can only see from the water.

Snorkelling at Kicker Rock

The channel between the two rocks is one of the world's finest snorkelling sites: sharks, rays and turtles.

Postcard beaches

Stops at white-sand beaches such as Sardine Bay or Manglecito, very often completely empty.
