Your adventure will begin with a pick-up at your accommodation at the agreed time. Together we will head to Corralejo, a fishing village in the north of Fuerteventura. From there, a boat will take you to the nearby Isla de Lobos, located just three kilometers away. During the twenty-minute crossing, you will sail through crystal-clear waters that sparkle under the sun. As you approach your destination, you will be able to observe the silhouette of the island, crowned by the La Caldera volcano.
