Discover the amazing Isla de Lobos on a mini cruise and snorkelling adventure from Corralejo, Fuerteventura. Swim in crystal-clear waters and enjoy the views!
This ferry round-trip, mini cruise, and snorkelling excursion from Fuerteventura to Isla de Lobos is the perfect way to spend a day enjoying the paradisiacal landscapes of the Canary Islands! This three-part activity will give you the opportunity to explore the land and ocean around the volcanic island of Isla de Lobos and enjoy the beach environment that only an island in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean can provide.
The first part of this boat and snorkelling excursion to the Isla de Lobos takes place in Corralejo. You need to find the Naviera Nortour ticket window when you get there, and the ferry crew will direct you to the right boat. The ferry ride towards Isla de Lobos will take 20 minutes and if you arrive there before 13:00, you'll have time to explore the island or lie on its beautiful La Caleta Beach.
Then it's time for the second part of the boat and snorkelling excursion to Isla de Lobos! You'll take a boat with a glass floor that will take you on a 10-minute ride where you'll be able to see the southern coast of the Isla de Lobos and be impressed by the marine life to be found under your *dry* feet! The cruise will stop at a point from which you'll be able to dive into the crystal-clear waters and snorkel around to find incredible species such as sea turtles, many different kinds of fish, and even sea lions!
After around 25 minutes of this wonderful snorkelling activity, you'll get back on the boat and sail back to Isla de Lobo's port to either wait for the ferry to take you back to Fuerteventura or continue to explore the island's hiking trails, volcanic landscapes, crystal-clear waters or its old fishing town: El Puertito.
A few recommendations for your boat and snorkelling excursion to the Isla de Lobos from Fuerteventura are:
- Bring food and enough water to fulfil the activities you wish to take part in on the island. There is only one drinks booth on the island, but it might be closed on the day of your visit.
- The local government at Isla de Lobos requires authorization for tourists to visit the island. If you choose a premium ticket, the staff at Naviera Nortour will take care of the process and you will be able to get on the island with no further planning. However, if you choose a standard ticket you will have to handle the authorization by yourself, by visiting lobospass.com and requesting it up to 5 days before your visit.
- Don't forget your sunscreen, swimsuit, hiking shoes, protective hat, and any other equipment you might need for the activity you choose to take part in at the Isla de Lobos, since it is unlikely that you'll find any specialized gear onsite.
- The ferry return times are: 14:20, 16:00, 17:00, and 18:00. You should settle your return time with the ferry crew when you arrive at the Isla de Lobos.
