Full Description
Lobos Island, the small natural park off Corralejo
Lobos Island, or Isla de Lobos, sits in the channel between Fuerteventura and Lanzarote, about two kilometres off Corralejo. It is a protected natural park with sand, volcanic rock, salt flats and rare coastal plants, and there are no cars and only a few buildings.
Many visitors look for a Lobos Island ferry ticket from Corralejo because the crossing takes only about 15 minutes and the island is very different from the resort coast. It is a good day trip in any season, though the sun is strong in summer.
La Caldera volcano and the island trails
The island's high point is La Caldera, a small volcanic cone of about 127 metres reached by a short, well-marked path from the port. From the top you can see the whole island, the lighthouse and the dunes of Corralejo across the water, and the trails are easy enough for most walkers in comfortable shoes.
Other paths lead to the coast, the salt flats and the black volcanic rock formations. There is little shade, so bring water and a hat. A walk to the crater and back takes around one hour.
La Concha beach and Puertito
La Concha is a horseshoe-shaped beach of pale sand with shallow, clear turquoise water, which makes it good for families and for snorkelling in calm conditions. It is a short walk from the ferry pier, and most visitors spend their beach time here.
Puertito, the tiny fishing hamlet beside the pier, has a few white houses and small restaurants serving fish dishes, and it is a good place to end a day on the island. Facilities on Lobos are limited, so bring what you need.
Ferry times, the island permit and practical tips
Ferries leave Corralejo harbour at 10:00, 11:15 and 13:00, and return times and details are on your voucher. The number of daily visitors to the island is limited to protect it, and the default option includes the access permit, so you do not need to arrange it.
With the other option, the ferry is included but you must request the free island permit yourself, up to five days before your visit. Mandatory travel insurance is included in both. If you are asking how to get to Lobos Island, the crossing from Corralejo is the standard route.
