Dolphins, flying fish and a top-notch team!

We had a great time on this boat trip, with dolphin watching (not to mention a multitude of flying fish) and the short excursion to Lobos Island. Everything was perfectly organized, and we really enjoyed every moment. A big thank you to Amy for her good humor and kindness. She really helped make this day even more pleasant and memorable. A very beautiful experience that we recommend without hesitation! 🐬❤️

Interesting experience

The guides made a great effort to find dolphins, which they also succeeded in doing. Additionally, we were able to briefly see a shark. The guides created a good atmosphere on the boat. On the way to the island, the boat was driven slowly in order to find the dolphins. The island was rather unspectacular; you had to walk very far into the water to stand in it waist-deep. The food was a lunchbox, it was okay. On the way back, the boat was driven faster. We had a lot of fun getting splashed by the waves; there was also the option to attach a splash guard. It makes a lot of sense to have a change of clothes with you.

Very good tour and guide Teddy

The trip was very good, the guide Teddy was excellent, but it was very bad that they told us the pickup point was our Hotel Lancelot, and when we asked the operator for confirmation, it was at the Fairgrounds an hour earlier; that should not be done, especially to tourists. Taking notes!!!!!

Great excursion. Recommend it

Great experience. Especially loved seeing the Dolphins. The island is so picturesque and the information provided is sufficient to enable you plan how to best use the limited time. Staff were great and very helpful. Would have given 5 stars but the trip did not return to the Rubicón Marina as advertised on Tripadviser and we were informed of this so had two bus transfers.

Frightening and dangerous

Well where do I start forget the Dolphin watching. Going to Lobos Island it was quite windy and the wave weres quite high, but from leaving Lanzarote harbour the boat was flat out and bouncing about a lot. But unfortunately the return journey was horrendous, the crew knew that the wind had increased because they pulled the side covers down on one side and when we set off my wife who is not good on boats and a lot of other people on board were very frightened. I love boat and sailing I have been deep sea fishing all over and I have never experienced anything so bad from a safety point of view. The boat ( still flat out) was bouncing all over so much so a couple sat opposite their seats broke off with the severe bouncing, we were all soaking wet. Yes if we were going on an adrenaline junky speed boat ride fare enough but we had no chance of seeing any Dolphins or Whales. So if you are slightly anxious about boats this is definitely one to miss.

Fantastic trip poor transport bk to hotel

The boat trip was amazing words aren’t enough to explain how beautiful it was to see dolphins and flyfish then to swim in the natural pool was a dream come true. The only down side was the coach trip back it was horrendous the driver was rude ignoring us won’t explained anything then he eventually told us to get off the coach as we weren’t getting taken back to the hotel by him he was rude turned around and we didn’t listen and that we could walk or get a taxi it wasn’t his problem. After having such an amazing experience to then have this at the end we were disappointed as in the end we had to get a taxi back to our hotel that cost us €70

Brilliant boat trip! Highly recommend

This trip was amazing, I would recommend. Lobos island is beautiful - the staff on the boat were so lovely, the main man (I think his name was Teddy?) he was such a lovely guy and really looked after everyone! Made sure everyone had what they needed etc. big shout out to him for making the trip so enjoyable! Lunch was good to they provided packed lunch for everyone. The boat journey there was fine it took about an hour or so - coming home though, it was so choppy (which isn’t the company’s fault) but there were some big waves coming back! We didn’t see any dolphins or whales but we see lots of flying fish which were cool!

Dolphins, flying fish and turtles (maybe) and islet in front of the dunes of Corralejo

The fact that I saw the dolphins right away is superpositive. They played with the boat, right out of the harbor. Lobos Island is pretty, worth a walk Brilliant soundtrack on return, to which I would add, for the little ones, the themes of the anime of One Piece
