What to expect
You'll board a speedboat at Corralejo and cross open water to reach Lobos Island, a windswept reserve just 13.7 km in perimeter. The crossing takes roughly 20 minutes each way, leaving several hours to walk the island's sparse trails, spot endemic species, and examine the distinctive geological formations. The terrain is rocky rather than sandy, with minimal shade. Bring sun protection and water—there are no facilities on the island itself. The return journey follows the same route, with the speedboat returning you to the mainland by mid-afternoon.
Good to know
Pack water, sun cream and a hat; the island offers no shelter or supplies. Wear sturdy walking shoes for rough terrain. Public transport reaches Corralejo easily. Children need an adult supervisor at all times. Lunch is not provided; eat beforehand or bring snacks.
