📖 How the experience unfolds

After leaving Corralejo, the ferry takes about 20 minutes to reach Lobos. Departures before 13:00 provide time to explore the island before the water activity.

On the 13:00 departure, passengers remain aboard until snorkelling starts at 13:20 and visit the island afterwards. The itinerary may change and return times depend on availability.

The itinerary shows between 1.5 and 3 hours of free time without clearly matching every duration to each option.

The usual return times shown are 14:20 and 17:00.

Additional returns at 16:00 and 18:00 may operate from July to September.

Choose your schedule by deciding first how much time you want to spend exploring the island.

🗣️ Realistic expectations

Common feedback

Travellers frequently highlight the many fish, friendly crew and smooth organisation.

Worth considering

The recurring criticism is that the actual snorkelling session may feel short compared with expectations.

Isolated observations

One traveller found the boat very crowded and another considered the land activities limited; these are not confirmed trends.

Independent time on Lobos Island

The land visit is self-guided. You can use the time for the beach or hiking while remaining on marked trails.

If you want to combine La Caldera with the beach, plan your schedule carefully and bring suitable footwear, food and enough water.
