A Closer Look at the 4-Hour Private Sailing Tour Around Lobos Island

This tour offers a rare chance to enjoy the stunning scenery of Fuerteventura’s coast on a luxury private vessel. It begins at Puerto de Corralejo, a lively port town, where you’ll meet your crew—most reviews praise them for their friendliness and attentiveness. The journey kicks off with a scenic sail toward Lobos Island, famous for its Caldera Volcano, which rises dramatically from the sea, and the protected waters of the Bocaina Canal, a narrow stretch that separates Lanzarote and Fuerteventura.

The Itinerary Breakdown: What You Can Expect

Start at Corralejo Port
The adventure begins with a short 15-minute transfer from your meeting point at Escuela Nautica Del Ayuntamiento La Oliva. Once aboard, your crew sets sail, giving you your first panoramic views of the coastline, the sand dunes of Great Dunes Natural Park, and the volcanic landscape that characterizes Lobos Island.

Sailing in the Vicinity of Lobos Island
Your ship will navigate around Lobos, allowing you to soak in sights like the Caldera Volcano—a striking crater that’s about 70 meters deep. The crew typically anchors in the southern part of Lobos for water activities. This is where the real fun begins: snorkeling in crystal-clear waters, kayaking, and paddleboarding are all included, with the added bonus that everyone has a chance to try sailing the boat, if they like.

Many reviewers mention the tranquility of the bay, offering a perfect setting for a swim or just floating in the calm waters. One customer even noted the possibility of spotting dolphins, adding an exciting wildlife element.

Visiting Natural Sites and Scenic Highlights
Next up, the boat moves to the Great Dunes Natural Park—a vast expanse of pristine white sand dunes, perfect for photos and just soaking up the sun. The contrast between the dune landscape and the volcanic terrain south of the island creates a unique visual experience.

The Calderon Hondo Volcano is another highlight, with its crater 70 meters deep, visible from the sea, offering a rugged, almost otherworldly backdrop. The scenery here is stunning, especially from the water, and it’s a favorite among guests who appreciate the natural beauty.

Return to Corralejo
After approximately 3.5 hours of exploring and water fun, you’ll head back to Corralejo Port for a relaxed 15-minute cruise, ending your memorable day with new stories and a camera full of photos.

Water Activities: Fun and Relaxation

The equipment—snorkels, fins, kayaks, and stand-up paddleboards—is all included. Many reviews mention that these activities are well-managed, safe, and fun. The waters off Lobos Island are noted for their transparency, making snorkeling a real treat. One reviewer said, “Beautiful clear water to snorkel and paddleboard,” which is a testament to the quality of the environment you’ll be in.

Food and Drinks: Satisfying and Generous

The lunch included is often described as “amazing” or “delicious,” with plenty of drinks to keep you refreshed. Some reviews even highlight the paella as a standout dish, prepared with care and plenty of flavor. The inclusion of alcoholic beverages makes this experience feel even more indulgent, especially as you soak up the sun on deck.

Personalized Service and Flexibility

Because this is a private tour, the crew can adapt the schedule and activities to your preferences. Whether you want more time swimming, sailing, or relaxing, they’re usually accommodating. Many guests appreciate the personalized attention—a step above the typical large-group excursions—and mention the crew’s friendly, professional manner.

Why This Tour Is a Great Value

At around $522 for a group of six, this might seem like a lot initially. But when you compare it to larger, less private boat trips, the value is clear. You get exclusive access, tailored service, and the opportunity to participate in water activities that larger boats might not offer as freely. Several reviews mention that this was their highlight of the holiday, and that the cost was justified by the quality and intimacy of the experience.

Who Will Enjoy This Tour Most?

This trip is perfect for families, couples celebrating a special occasion, or groups of friends wanting a relaxed, fun day on the water.
