Full Description
The south coast and the Jandia Natural Park
The cruise follows the long, wild south coast of the Jandia peninsula, where the mountains of the Jandia Natural Park fall to golden beaches and the open Atlantic. From the water you see the long beaches of the Jandia coast and the cliffs and coves that are hard to reach on foot.
The route starts near Morro Jable in the far south, and many travellers search for a boat trip in the south of Fuerteventura because the sea is usually calm enough for swimming. The sun deck, music and sea breeze make the first part of the trip relaxed.
The glass-bottom viewing deck
A glass-bottom boat is a good way to see marine life without getting in the water. From the viewing deck below the waterline you look through the glass at fish moving over the sandy seabed and the rocks, and it is particularly popular with children and anyone who does not want to snorkel.
The visibility depends on the day and the sea conditions, but the water around Fuerteventura is usually clear. The crew explain what you are seeing, from local reef fish to the plants of the seabed.
Dolphins, whales and snorkelling
The waters off Jandia have dolphins and, at some times of year, whales, and the crew keep watch while you sail. Sightings depend on the day and cannot be guaranteed, but the calm sea makes it a good place to look.
When the boat stops in a sheltered bay, you can snorkel, kayak or swim, or slide into the water from the waterslide. Snorkelling equipment is provided, and the crew help beginners with the basics. Underwater you may see schools of small fish over the sandy bottom, and the crew suggest the best spots to swim.
Paella lunch and planning your day
A paella lunch is served on board around midday, with a vegetarian option, so tell us about your dietary needs when you book. The four-hour trip leaves at 09:30 and includes pickup and drop-off from 29 locations in Morro Jable, Costa Calma, Jandia and Esquinzo.
If your hotel is outside that area, the operator will send a pickup point and time after you book. Wear swimwear under your clothes, and bring a towel, sun cream and a light jacket for the return.
