The catamaran slips out of Corralejo harbor with the Atlantic hushing against its hull, and for a few minutes the town’s whitewashed buildings recede into a clean blue margin. On deck, the breeze carries salt and citrus from a boxed lunch—salad, seasonal fruit and a mixed paella—while the crew points toward a low, volcanic silhouette: Isla de Lobos. The island doesn’t scream for attention; it asks for focus. From the catamaran you read its story in black rock and pale sand, in a lone lighthouse that has watched sailors for a century.

History
Isla de Lobos has a modest maritime history—once used by fishermen and shepherds, it later gained a lighthouse and protected status to conserve its fragile ecosystems.
Conservation
The islet is a protected natural area; visitors should avoid touching seagrass, follow marked trails ashore, and use reef‑safe sunscreen to minimize impact.

Bring reef‑safe sunscreen
Sun reflects off the water—use reef-safe SPF and reapply after swimming to protect both your skin and marine life.
Take seasickness prevention early
If you get queasy, take medication at least 30–60 minutes before departure; the catamaran is stable but open-water conditions vary.
Wear water shoes for shoreings
Rubbery water shoes make getting off the ladder and stepping onto rocky shores or dinghies safer and more comfortable.
Reserve morning slots for calm water
Morning departures usually offer clearer snorkeling and gentler sea conditions—better for beginners and underwater photos.
