Discover Lobos Island

Discover Isla Lobos with Javi, a local guide.

Javi’s Story
Born and raised in Fuerteventura, Javi has been running Zodiac excursions to Isla de Lobos since 2017. His connection to the island runs deep — his grandfather served as its lighthouse keeper for 60 years, and his family owns a traditional fisherman’s cabin passed down through generations. Having spent much of his childhood on Lobos, Javi brings a unique and personal perspective to every excursion, sharing the island’s history and secrets with those who join him.

What’s included?
Transportation: Zodiac transfer from Corralejo to Isla de Lobos and back.
Sports Equipment: Bicycles, SUP (Stand Up Paddle), snorkelling gear and kayaks.
Drinks: Wine, beer, soft drinks and water.
Lunch: Freshly made paella on every trip — a classic Spanish dish with seafood, rice and vegetables.

The Boat
Javi’s excursions take place aboard a Zodiac — a rigid inflatable boat (RIB) known for its speed, stability and safety. Unlike a traditional cruise, a Zodiac sits close to the water’s surface, making for a thrilling and immersive experience. Its stability makes it easy to slip into the water and climb back on board, making it the perfect vessel for snorkelling stops along the way.

Exploring the Island

Hike to the Martiño Lighthouse
Follow the well-marked trails to the lighthouse for sweeping panoramic views over the island and the Atlantic Ocean.

Playa de la Concha
A stunning beach of white sand and turquoise water, perfect for swimming, sunbathing and snorkelling among its coral reefs.

Puertito Beach
A natural pool of white sand and black volcanic rock with impossibly calm, crystal-clear water. Bring your snorkel mask — the underwater world here is well worth exploring. The wooden walkway is a favourite spot for photos, and at high tide it doubles as a natural diving board.

Caldera de la Montaña — Circular Hiking Route
A 2 to 3 hour circular route through volcanic landscapes, with opportunities to spot seabirds and enjoy the island’s unique nature. Walk left to right to save your energy for the ascent of La Caldera. Bring plenty of water, a hat and sunscreen — there is no shade on the route.

Bird Watching
Isla de Lobos is a sanctuary for numerous bird species, including cormorants and shearwaters. Binoculars are highly recommended.

Where to Eat — Antoñito el Farero
The only restaurant on the island, serving fresh fish caught daily. Reservations are essential — the kitchen only prepares what has been pre-ordered, so walk-ins cannot be accommodated.
