Full description
The Oby Freebird to Isla de Lobos
A 16-metre sailing catamaran out of Corralejo to Isla de Lobos, four hours, with a solarium deck and two nets slung over the water for the crossing. It carries up to 56, so it is a bigger, more sociable boat than the small-group catamaran, and it does one thing the anchored trips do not: it puts you ashore.
A zodiac runs you onto the islet for about an hour, long enough to walk, see the volcano and the lagoons, or swim off La Concha. The rest of the day is at anchor in one of the coves, with snorkelling and stand up paddle from the boat.
The access permit
The zodiac puts you on a protected natural park, and landing there needs an official authorisation. It is free and you apply for it yourself at lobospass.com. It does not come with the ticket, so sort it out before the day you sail.
Food and drink
Paella, salad and seasonal fruit, and drinks are included from start to finish: beer, cava, soft drinks and water.

Morning 10:00 to 14:00 or afternoon 14:30 to 18:30.

There is also a longer Friday trip from the south of the island: five hours, 11:00 to 16:00, 75 euros for adults and 45 for children, with around two hours ashore on Lobos rather than one.

A good day out on the catamaran, with Lobos worth the trip on its own. The staff are very good company, the paella was not bad at all, and the open bar and the snorkelling were both done well. Adults and children enjoyed it equally.
Bella giornata sul catamarano, con Lobos che merita da sola. Ragazzi dello staff molto simpatici, paella niente male, open bar e snorkeling ben fatti. Adulti e bambini si sono divertiti allo stesso modo.
The two of us did the catamaran trip over to Lobos, and we were looked after beautifully, Raquel the interpreter above all. Many thanks to the whole team.
Hicimos la salida a Lobos en catamarán en pareja, y nos atendieron de maravilla, sobre todo Raquel, que hacía de intérprete. Muchas gracias a todo el equipo.
The whole crew treated us well, on the way out and on the way back. Crossing to Lobos could not have been calmer, and when we return to the island we will do it again without hesitating.
Todo el equipo del barco nos trató muy bien, tanto a la ida como al regreso. La travesía hasta Lobos fue tranquilísima, y cuando volvamos a la isla repetiremos sin dudarlo.
For me it was the highlight of the holiday. Clear water, untouched nature and complete quiet made the run over to Lobos something close to a dream. Anyone staying on Fuerteventura should fit it in.
Für mich das Highlight des Urlaubs. Klares Wasser, unberührte Natur und vollkommene Ruhe: der Ausflug nach Lobos war traumhaft. Wer auf Fuerteventura ist, sollte das mitnehmen.
Loved every bit of this trip. The staff could not have been friendlier and the boat itself is a lovely, comfortable one.
