Itinerary
Isla de Lobos
It is an islet of about 6 km² of surface and 13.7 km of coastline, located 2 km northeast of Fuerteventura and 8 km south of Lanzarote, islands separated by the Bocaina Strait. The islet can be seen clearly from Corralejo, the nearest town. The channel that separates Fuerteventura de Lobos, whose depth does not exceed 10 meters, is known as «El Río» or «Paso de la Orchilla» .1 Its name is due to the fact that in the past, monk seals or friar of the Mediterranean inhabited the island (also known as sea lions), now in danger of extinction. The fishermen eliminated the species, since they thought that their voracity reduced the marine resources of the area. Each of these animals needs between 30 and 40 kilograms of fish a day. Reintroduction efforts of sea lions are being made, despite fishermen's refusal. The small island is fully protected and forms the Islote de Lobos Natural Park. It houses more than 130 plant species and several bird species, highlighting the seagull, the bustard (at certain times of the year) and the cinderella shear. The seabed is an underwater reserve area and contains a great ecological wealth. Its maximum height is located in La Caldera, also known as El Filo La Herradura, 127 meters high.

Wonderful experience, poor staff
Great trip, beautiful island with lots of different bays to visit and at a great price! Only problem we had was during the payment (where I made a small mistake on the card reader), the two staff in the store were rudely giggling to each other and making small remarks about our group infront of us. Nevertheless, would go to visit the island again but through another company

Not trustworthy and reliable
Very poor on-site support, we were not picked up at the agreed location. GetYourGuide could not reach anyone, Contractual service not fulfilled. Causes major difficulties with the refund process. Not recommended, look for other providers who also help on-site. LG

Fun ride
Excellent host Elisaveta, very fun ride

It is worth it.
Fast and great trip. My advice is to arrive in the first taxi and make a reservation to eat at the only restaurant on the island if you do not want to bring your picnic. Going up the mountain gives you incredible views and then a swim at Caleta beach. Our boat captain, Alfonso, a great professional.

Isla de Lobos excursion
Top experience! Miguel and Elizabeth are fantastic!!

Disappointing
Booked 4 hour catamaran cruise. Disappointing. Got moored and ready to go off boat when we were shunted by another boat then wasted 25 mins whilst cruise operator navigated us to a different spot. The paddle boarding and kayaking were a joke - no paddles provided and boards were on a rope behind ship so could only sit in them. Sea currents strong so snorkelling difficult even as a relatively strong swimmer. Unlimited drinks weren’t even offered until been on boat for 2.5 hours then one drink and only water suitable for diabetic member of family - no diet drinks. Paella ok. Trip round island we were expecting was in fact just around one corner. Also wasn’t made clear we wouldn’t be actually going on island . Expensive trip to sit on a paddleboard looking at los lobos with very limited drinks. Don’t waste your money - buy your own snorkels and get ferry to island or hire paddle boards from beach in corralejo.

Amazing whales and dolphins tour
An amazing day tour! We were very lucky to see whales dolphins and a couple of big turtles. The crew was very attentive and Valentina always present to help us to understand and enjoying the excursion. Nice food and swim at the end in Lobos. Strongly recommended

Fantastic Family Experience with Barracuda Perdomo
We had a fantastic time on this 5-hour tour with Barracuda Perdomo. The boat heads out onto the open Atlantic, where we were lucky enough to spot dolphins and turtles along the way — a real highlight for the whole family. Onboard drinks kept things festive, and a stop at Lobos Island's harbor gave us the chance to swim and snorkel in beautiful clear water. To top it off, we were treated to a delicious paella. The staff were friendly, professional, and attentive throughout, making the whole experience even better. It was a lovely way to spend quality time together as a family. Highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting the area!
