Itinerary
We meet in the Port of Corralejo, board the sailboat and start the journey to Isla de Lobos.
Sailing trip navigating in the vicinity of the Lobos Island, where we will see the Caldera Volcano, the Bocaina Canal, the Great Dunes Natural Park (panoramic view of Fuerteventura from the boat). We will anchor in the south of Lobos ... enjoy fun time bathing, snorkling, having light lunch with beverages. Everyone has opportunity to try a stand-up paddle board, kayak, snorkel and fins to enjoy the transparent waters of Fuerteventura.
La Bocayna or La Bocaina is a five kilometer long stretch of sea that separates the islands of Lanzarote from Fuerteventura, mediating the volcanic island of Lobos. The depth of this Bocaina channel does not exceed 10 meters. On clear days, both islands can be seen with the naked eye. The strait offers the perfect conditions for boating and world-class surfable waves can be found around the coast of Lobos. The island of Lobos is a small rock formation of about 6 km2, with a maximum height of 127 meters to the top of the Caldera volcano. It is located in this strait of La Bocaina.
The Calderón Hondo Volcano is one of the best preserved and has a crater 70 meters deep. Its landscape is observed in the most beautiful way from the sea.
The Great Dunes National Park: This coastal area, 2.5 by 10.5 kilometers, is located in the northeast of the island and has two contrasting but harmonious sides. In the north, next to Corralejo, is the largest dune extension of all the Canary Islands; a huge expanse of white sands lapped by the turquoise waters of the Atlantic Ocean. To the south, the opposite awaits: a volcanic, red and ocher landscape, dramatic and rugged.
We return to the same starting point of the Port of Corralejo.

Amazing trip, didn’t want to end! The crew were lovely and funny and we had a great day. Very relaxed and were able to do as little or as much as we wanted. Food was excellent! Tried to book again for the day later!
Simply brutal!!!! An authentic blast!!!! If you are in Corralejo, do not hesitate, it is a unique sensation. What speed! Julián and Mateo are great sailors; they make the experience unforgettable! A thousand thanks
We were met by Iliana at the kiosk at the specified time and were taken to the Walhalla sailboat. Greeted by the skipper Julian who was as friendly and welcoming as his crew. After a short safety briefing we set off towards Los Lobos. Once arrived, Julian baited some fish and we went for a swim in the crystal clear water. There were two paddle boats and snorkeling equipment if you wanted to use it. We were served a very nice lunch of which there was plenty for the 5 passengers. After spending time at Lobos, we returned to Corralejo harbour very happy and relaxed. A lovely afternoon well spent and highly recommended.
Melanie, thankssss very much !!!! We would like to see you soon in Corralejo again!!!!!! Nice your group !!!! Regards.
I've been with Sailexperience many times. It is always excellent, new and different every time. The skipper and his team take care of everyone perfectly. It is great fun and exciting and fun. I feel very safe aboard the Valhalla. The tours are highly recommended. A great experience. Always happy. Anja from Berlin
Hola Anja Si, es verdad, has venido muchas veces y siempre nos ha encantado verte a bordo con nosotros!!! Nos hace sentir muy bien leer tus palabras y saber que lo disfrutas. Gracias por tus amables palabras... Deseando que vuelvas pronto a navegar en el Walhalla con nosotros!!! Saludosssss
Booked for wedding anniversary celebration. Cancelled with less than 24 hours notice, fortunately we managed to book a ferry but wasn't what we had planned for a 30th anniversary.
Dear Laura: First of all, we want to tell you how sorry we are that you couldn't enjoy your anniversary with us. Although we were unaware of your personal intentions, especially since you haven't communicated anything, We also remind you that you booked a ticketed excursion, a shared excursion with other people, where the minimum number of reservations is four people. Unfortunately, we didn't have any other interested guests for that same time and day. We also want to let you know that we offer private excursions where you don't need a minimum number of people to go on the excursion, and you could have booked us through this other route where confirmation is immediate. On other occasions, we've had anniversary celebrations, birthdays, and marriage proposals from our clients, where they've usually had a great time and enjoyed this great day. We wish you many more anniversaries and that you can continue enjoying them together! We appreciate your comment and appreciate it so we can keep it in mind so we can continue improving. Best regards.
The boat was a pass, very new and comfortable with space are burdensome. The tour is worthwhile especially if you like snorkeling as they leave you on the coast of Isla de Lobos and are very transparent waters. Just miss some explanation of what we were seeing from the guides who in any case are friendly and helpful.
Muchas gracias por su opinion. Agradecemos sus palabras
Iliana met us in front of the sailing kiosk on the quay and took us to this lovely sailing vessel were we were met by Julian the skipper who made us all welcome aboard. We set sail heading for Lobos Island when they unfurled the sails to make this a proper sailing experiance. We then stopped at Lobos Island for lunch which was plentiful and good. We had a swim in its crystal clear water to experiance the schools of fish around the boat, which as an avid snorkeller i particualy enjoyed. After a long stay soaking the sun swimming and getting on the paddleboards we set off again to enjoy the thrill of saiing up and down in the wind. This trip is a must if you want to experiance an authentic day out sailing with a great captain and good banter.
Thanks so much for your words. See you.
We had a wonderful afternoon in the best weather and wonderful atmosphere aboard the small sailboat. Julian and his crew entertained us superbly and provided music and delicious food. Before Lobos we could swim extensively, snorkel and use the SUPs. And especially liked the family atmosphere, who is looking for a party boat tour is here I don't think in proper hands. That's exactly why we liked it so much. We would recommend this tour without exception! Thank you for this successful afternoon!
Es war mir eine Freude, eine so freundliche Widmung von Ihnen zu lesen. Wir freuen uns auf ein Wiedersehen! Herzliche Grüße

Merci pour vos gentils mots ! Nous avons pu en profiter ensemble ! À bientôt ! Cordialement.
The staff was very attentive and we had a great time. I thought we were going to Isla Lobos and you'd stay near the sea... But it was a nice experience, the first time on a sailboat and being able to be in the sea, you have to experience it.
Muchas gracias por sus palabras. Les esperamos siempre !!!!!1 Saludos
