Select participants and date
You step off the coach in Playa Blanca as the morning light hits the Atlantic flat. Salty air fills the bus windows and the guide in a red polo points toward the ferry ramp: a 30-minute crossing that sheds Lanzarote’s basalt silhouettes and slides you toward Fuerteventura’s northern shore. By mid-morning the little archipelago of Isla de Lobos hovers on the horizon—a low, volcanic island that dares you ashore with sandy coves and a compact network of trails.

Adventure Tips
Reserve your LobosPass in advance
Isla de Lobos limits visitors—book the free entrance ticket at lobospass.com before you leave to avoid being turned away.
Bring sun protection and water
Three to four hours on exposed sand and volcanic rock means sunscreen, a hat and at least 1–2 liters of water per person.
Wear grippy shoes
Trails alternate between sand, pebbles and jagged basalt—light hiking shoes or sturdy trainers make ascents like Montaña de la Caldera far more comfortable.
Time your beach break
If you want calmer water, aim for late morning to early afternoon—winds tend to pick up later in the day, making swims choppier.
