Program details
Come and enjoy an unforgettable day on a real desert island! The crossing starts at the port of Corralejo and we’ll sail through crystal clear waters of different hues of blue and green, hugging the north-eastern coastline of Fuerteventura, dominated by the impressive dune system of Corralejo. The boat is specially designed for sailing close to the coast in shallow waters and its manoeuvrability, size and solidity make it ideal for you enjoy close up views of the shore. After approximately 15 minutes you will disembark on the beautiful Lobos Island (declared a nature reserve in 1982) and discover a natural paradise with no cars or pollution and where life goes on at a different pace. The whole island is protected and has also been declared a special protection area for birds. Its name comes from the large number of sea wolves, also called monk seals, that lived there when the island was discovered by the Spanish conquerors in the 15th Century. To spend a day here is a memorable experience and whether you’re a naturalist, ecologist, traveller, nature lover or sunseeker, you’re going to fall in love with the island’s beautiful beaches and coastline, the spectacular seabed and the unforgettable cycle and walking routes. You’ll also enjoy the great views from the iconic Martiño lighthouse in the north of the island and the opportunity to get to know the island’s unique plant life and numerous seabirds. The island is home to over 130 species of plants and a wide variety of birds, including a gulls, bustard and shearwater. There is also a small restaurant on the island where you can enjoy lunch.
