Tour Selections
During the booking process, you'll have the option to select various tour times, allowing for a longer stay on the island if desired. Please note that your ticket covers the permit and processing fees necessary for accessing Lobos Island. The available options are:
Morning Tour (10 & 11:15 am)
Your adventure begins at the Corralejo pier, where we will set sail for Lobos, situated in northern Fuerteventura, renowned for its vibrant underwater scenery. The island's name is derived from a former colony of sea lions that once thrived here.
Upon arrival, you'll be afforded two to three hours to explore the serene atmosphere of the island. You can wander through the charming coves and natural pools famous in this region, or simply take a refreshing dip in its crystal-clear waters.
We'll convene at 1:20 pm to board the vessel once more and navigate along the southern coast of the Islote de Lobos Natural Park, where you can marvel at the marine life through the boat’s transparent view.
Our next stop will be at a nearby cove for a 30-minute snorkeling experience in these turquoise waters. One, two, three... Dive in!
Finally, you can choose to board the 2:20 pm ferry to conclude your excursion, or you can opt to remain on the islet for additional leisure time and return on a later ferry.
Afternoon Tour (1 pm)
For those selecting the afternoon option, we will start by sailing along the coast of Lobos. After enjoying a drink on board, diving into the snorkeling activity will allow you to appreciate the area's underwater beauty.
Following this, you can either take the 2:20 pm ferry back or disembark on the islet for more leisure time before catching the next boat.
