Corralejo: Roundtrip Ferry to Lobos Island with Entry Pass
Cruise from Fuerteventura to Lobos Island on this return trip by ferry. Visit the beach, immerse yourself in Lobos's volcanic and tranquil atmosphere, and benefit from an all-in-one ticket which includes the island's entry management. On the day of your visit, you can choose from various return times: 11:40, 14:20, 17:00, with additional options at 16:00 and 18:00 available only from July to September, subject to availability. After just 20-minutes by boat from Corralejo, be amazed by the different tones of blue water whilst you disembark to this hidden corner of the Atlantic Ocean. Upon arrival, you'll be greeted by a statue of Josefina Plá, the Spanish writer, poet, and essayist born on the island, next to the Visitor Center. For many, Isla de Lobos feels like another planet, with some comparing it to Mars or the Moon. It’s a dry, volcanic, and rugged island, exuding a unique and powerful energy. There are no shops on the island, so please bring food, water, sunscreen, and anything else you might need for a day in this sun-scorched environment. Looking to the right of the harbor, you will find the path that takes you to El Puertito, an old fishing village next to a white-sand beach. At El Puertito, you can find a few buildings that were built before the island had been declared a Natural Park. To the left of the port lies the island’s sole beach. Take a swim in the calm and crystal clear, turquoise blue water or sunbathe in the fine sand, perfect for families with children, couples, young and old. This beach is commonly known as “La Concha” (the Shell) because of its shape, although the official name is La Caleta. From here you can see in the distance the dunes of Corralejo, the contours of Fuerteventura and when turning your back to the sea, appreciate the unique mountain “La Caldera”. Take a deep breath, a bottle of water and get ready to climb the highest peak of the island. The “La Caldera” mountain is a volcanic cone of relatively recent origin. Enjoy a fantastic view of Fuerteventura and Lanzarote from its 127-meter peak. Time stands still here as you take in the silence and colour of this splendid natural surrounding. The ascent and descent will take approximately 1 hour and 30 minutes. Whilst visiting the Northern part of the island, you will find the lighthouse, whose first lighthouse keeper was Josefine Plá’s father. Nowadays, the lighthouse works fully automatically. Within the shade of this structure, stop for a rest while admiring the sea and Lanzarote with its volcanoes in the background. Walking around the entire island will take you about 2 hours and 30 minutes. Admire the volcanic nature of the island’s interior and take a walk on the “Saladar (salt marsh) del Faro Martiño” and “Las Lagunitas”. More than 130 plant species and endemic birds live here, which has converted this idyllic paradise into a protected natural park. Enjoy a hiking excursion that will see your senses awakened to the island’s wildlife.
