The catamaran slips away from Corralejo as the town's harbor cranes shrink into a line of white poles. Salt air fills the deck, the Atlantic pushes at the hull, and within thirty minutes the low-profile silhouette of Isla de Lobos appears like a gray-green promise on the horizon. Onboard, travelers shoulder into provided life vests and trade small talk for binoculars; the crew cracks open a bottle of wine and the coastline unrolls into volcanic rock and wind-sculpted sand.

Adventure Tips
Bring reef-safe sunscreen
Protect both your skin and the marine environment — apply before boarding and bring a small refillable bottle for reapplication after snorkeling.
Wear grippy sandals or reef shoes
Volcanic rock and tidal pools can be sharp and slippery; closed-toe water shoes make the island walk and water entry safer.
Hydrate and pace alcohol intake
Unlimited beer and wine are included; balance them with water, especially after sun and sea exposure to avoid dehydration.
Know your swimming comfort level
Snorkeling and SUP require basic swimming ability — request flotation aids if needed and tell the crew about any concerns.
