Isla de Lobos: guide to the islet in front of Corralejo

Just off Corralejo lies a small volcanic islet, protected as a natural park: Isla de Lobos. A few hours there are among the most beautiful of a stay in Fuerteventura.

How to get there

Boats leave from the port of Corralejo and the crossing is short. Lobos is a protected natural area: access is regulated, with a limited number of visitors and an authorisation to request in advance. Always check the current rules before you go.

What to see

A path loops around the islet, past lava fields and salt marshes. You can climb the volcanic cone of La Caldera for the view over Fuerteventura and Lanzarote, reach the Martiño lighthouse in the north and stop at the calm lagoon of La Concha.

Tips

There is no shade and very few services: bring water, a hat and sun protection. Stay on the marked paths to protect the fragile vegetation and the birds that nest on the island.

Lobos in our journeys

Lobos is part of the tour of northern Fuerteventura, with a day dedicated to the island, and of the Fly & Drive, which includes the ferry ticket for traveller and bike.
