    What you'll see and do

    1. Isla de Lobos

      It is an islet of about 6 km² of surface and 13.7 km of coastline, located 2 km northeast of Fuerteventura and 8 km south of Lanzarote, islands separated by the Bocaina Strait. The islet can be seen clearly from Corralejo, the nearest town. The channel that separates Fuerteventura de Lobos, whose depth does not exceed 10 meters, is known as «El Río» or «Paso de la Orchilla» .1 Its name is due to the fact that in the past, monk seals or friar of the Mediterranean inhabited the island (also known as sea lions), now in danger of extinction. The fishermen eliminated the species, since they thought that their voracity reduced the marine resources of the area. Each of these animals needs between 30 and 40 kilograms of fish a day. Reintroduction efforts of sea lions are being made, despite fishermen's refusal. The small island is fully protected and forms the Islote de Lobos Natural Park. It houses more than 130 plant species and several bird species, highlighting the seagull, the bustard (at certain times of the year) and the cinderella shear. The seabed is an underwater reserve area and contains a great ecological wealth. Its maximum height is located in La Caldera, also known as El Filo La Herradura, 127 meters high.

    Disappointing

    Booked 4 hour catamaran cruise. Disappointing. Got moored and ready to go off boat when we were shunted by another boat then wasted 25 mins whilst cruise operator navigated us to a different spot. The paddle boarding and kayaking were a joke - no paddles provided and boards were on a rope behind ship so could only sit in them. Sea currents strong so snorkelling difficult even as a relatively strong swimmer. Unlimited drinks weren’t even offered until been on boat for 2.5 hours then one drink and only water suitable for diabetic member of family - no diet drinks. Paella ok. Trip round island we were expecting was in fact just around one corner. Also wasn’t made clear we wouldn’t be actually going on island . Expensive trip to sit on a paddleboard looking at los lobos with very limited drinks. Don’t waste your money - buy your own snorkels and get ferry to island or hire paddle boards from beach in corralejo.

    Amazing whales and dolphins tour

    An amazing day tour! We were very lucky to see whales dolphins and a couple of big turtles. The crew was very attentive and Valentina always present to help us to understand and enjoying the excursion. Nice food and swim at the end in Lobos. Strongly recommended

    Fantastic Family Experience with Barracuda Perdomo

    We had a fantastic time on this 5-hour tour with Barracuda Perdomo. The boat heads out onto the open Atlantic, where we were lucky enough to spot dolphins and turtles along the way — a real highlight for the whole family. Onboard drinks kept things festive, and a stop at Lobos Island's harbor gave us the chance to swim and snorkel in beautiful clear water. To top it off, we were treated to a delicious paella. The staff were friendly, professional, and attentive throughout, making the whole experience even better. It was a lovely way to spend quality time together as a family. Highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting the area!

    Water Taxi Lobos Island: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Fuerteventura.

    How much does Water Taxi Lobos Island cost?

    +

    Prices start at $19 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Fuerteventura usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does Water Taxi Lobos Island take?

    +

    Plan for about 2 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Fuerteventura is not rushed.

    Is Water Taxi Lobos Island worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 68 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.4/5 across 146 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Fuerteventura, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Water Taxi Lobos Island?

    +

    Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

    Is Water Taxi Lobos Island suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 2-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Water Taxi Lobos Island?

    +

    Around 51 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Fuerteventura can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

    What should I bring or wear?

    +

    Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Fuerteventura and add a light layer if any part of the 2-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Water Taxi Lobos Island start and how do I get there?

    +

    The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Fuerteventura within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

    What are the best things to do in Fuerteventura?

    +

    On Outty we rank every Fuerteventura experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Fuerteventura North Exclusive Tour, 4-Hour Sailing Tour of Lobos Island from Fuerteventura, Surf Beginner Course. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

    When is the best time to visit Fuerteventura?

    +

    Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

    How many days do you need in Fuerteventura?

    +

    Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

    Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

    +

    Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
