After a short 20-minute boat ride from Corralejo, marvel at the vibrant shades of blue as you arrive at this secluded spot in the Atlantic Ocean. Upon arrival, you'll be welcomed by a statue of Josefina Plá, the Spanish writer and poet born on the island, situated next to the Visitor Centre. Lobos Island feels like another world to many visitors, with its dry, volcanic, and rugged terrain radiating a powerful, otherworldly energy. Since there are no shops on the island, it’s important to bring food, water, sunscreen, and anything else you may need for a day in this sun-drenched environment. From the dock, if you look to the right of the harbour, you’ll find the path leading to El Puertito, a former fishing village next to a white sandy beach. El Puertito is home to buildings that pre-date the island’s status as a Natural Park. To the left of the harbour lies the island's only beach. Take a dip in the calm, turquoise waters or relax on the soft sand, perfect for families, couples, or solo travellers. Known as "La Concha" (The Shell) due to its shape, the beach's official name is La Caleta. From here, you can see the distant dunes of Corralejo, Fuerteventura’s contours, and the unique volcanic mountain "La Caldera" behind you. For those eager to explore further, take a deep breath and get ready to ascend La Caldera, the island’s tallest peak. This volcanic cone, standing at 127 metres, offers breathtaking views of Fuerteventura and Lanzarote. The round-trip hike takes approximately 1 hour and 30 minutes and provides a peaceful escape to enjoy the colours and silence of the island. While visiting the northern part of the island, you’ll come across the lighthouse, once maintained by Josefina Plá’s father. Now fully automated, the lighthouse offers a quiet resting spot with sweeping views of the sea and Lanzarote’s volcanic landscape. A complete walk around the island takes around 2 hours and 30 minutes.

The landscapes were just spectacular. Andrew was an incredible guide and driver taking us to so many wonderful places; cute villages, spectacular viewpoints, breathtaking caves and stunning beaches and so much more. The small group made it all the more enjoyable. Highly recommend!

Snorkeling was nice, but we could have maybe gone to a second bay or gotten some information about the bay where we stopped because we ended up just standing there for quite a long time... The crew was very nice and friendly!!

Worth a visit even once for a laid back visit to FuerteventurFuerteventurFuerteventura. Sand dunes a highlight Ferry crossing and time alone to explore perfect for us!

Great fun morning with amazing scenery, and a little stop .. you will not be disappointed remember glasses and something to cover mouth and nose as it gets dusty

Highly recommended activity if you want to get to know the north of the island, also with a great instructor.
