Select participants and date
The gangway folds up and the Atlantic breathes across your face—salty, cool, impatient. A low-slung catamaran slides out of Corralejo harbor, its twin hulls humming as the coastline of Fuerteventura recedes. Within minutes you are threading El Río, the narrow channel that separates Fuerteventura from Isla de Lobos. The island rises from the sea like a quiet volcano: cliffs, a pale crescent of sand at Playa de la Concha, and a squat lighthouse that watches the channel like an old helmsman.
