The bow slips through blue so clear it seems to have a memory — reflections of sky and sand stacked in layers beneath the hull. You leave Corralejo’s harbor with Captain Julián at the wheel, the island of Lobos rising like a dark coin on the horizon. Sea air sharpens the senses; the boat heels gently as the Bocaina channel dares you to look deeper. Within minutes the mainland recedes and the itinerary turns into motion: snorkel stops, a SUP try, a kayak glide, and idle time anchored by a white-shelved cove.

Adventure Tips
Bring reef-safe sunscreen
The boat provides shade for short periods, but you’ll spend time in direct sun on deck and in the water—use reef-safe SPF and reapply after swimming.
Waterproof phone case
Water play and sprays are frequent; a dry bag or waterproof case protects your phone for photos and safety contacts.
Wear secure footwear
Non-slip deck shoes or sandals make boarding and moving around the boat safer during maneuvers and when stepping into kayaks or SUPs.
Bring a small towel and light wind layer
Even warm days can feel cool with wind on the return; a compact towel dries off quickly after snorkeling.

History
Lobos Island was long used by local fishermen and lime burners; its volcanic caldera and small harbors shaped its modest human footprint before being designated a protected nature reserve.
Conservation
Lobos is part of a protected marine and terrestrial reserve—avoid stepping on seagrass beds, anchor only where allowed, and use reef-safe sunscreen to reduce impact.
