    Exploring lobos
    For a day out and a bit of exploring of the beaten track this was a good day. Got one of the numerous water taxis from Corralejo harbour. A short 10 minute trip get you there. Don’t expect much in the way of facilities, so take all you need for a walk/hike. Typical volcanic isle, which rough scrub, (decent shoes), seems bit of a hidden surf spot, with locals get dropped of from a boat, very impressive big long waves. Climbed the remnants of the volcano, a good steady climb, again decent shoes needed. Your are reward by great views looking back to Fuerteventura and over to Lanzarote. Also the impressive lighthouse, which means you need to walk there. Well signposted tracks ensure you don’t get lost, again you are rewarded by some amazing “moonscape” like terrain. If you feel yourself sucked into spending longer time on the island ensure you have booked a return to allow you time to get back to the landing stage. We had to rearrange and add a couple of hours on. A good day, not facilities , well certainly not in the autumn winter months, but mad a great private day out away from the main island.

    Nice daytrip
    The boat trip with the ferry went smooth both ways. The islet had an interesting geology and trails were well marked. Lizards and birds are to be found on the trails. There are especially a lot of small birds in Puertito as tourists have spoiled them with food. The toilet in the port was closed already at 3 p.m., the only other toilet is next to the restaurant in puertito. Take water with you and food, the restaurant provide also drinks and meals.

    Lovely
    This island is worth at least half a day. Partner and I could not get enough of the lagoon, so we did not see anything else. Be aware that there are no changing facilities, and that the toilets at the visitor centre do not tolerate toilet roll being flushed away.

    A lovely place to visit if in the area!
    A lovely glass bottom boat trip out to Lobos Island a small nature reserve with rugged scenery, crystal clear waters and home of the island's ancient volcano Caldera measuring 120m whose summit we climbed! It took about 1 hour from the bottom of it to get up and down. Lots of steps and very rocky. We got the 10am crossing and was offered to be picked up at 2.20pm or 5pm. The crossing took 20 minutes. There are toilets on the island, a small visitor information area and very small restaurant. We found the young man serving in the restaurant to be very rude and abrupt. There is a beautiful beach area and the lagoons for swimming.

    A beautiful, rugged island that is also a National Park. The island is 15-20 minutes by regular ferry/boat. The island has a couple of nice beaches and a micro-sized village with 1 restaurant. The restaurant takes bookings, therefore if you want to eat, book when you arrive. Beyond the beach is a beautiful circular walk that would be achievable by most with an ordinary level of fitness. About 1.30 to 2 hours. Great destination for a walk and few hours sunbathing.

    Nothing special
    We got the ferry over which was nice but when you get to the island it is very arrid with one main small beach and not great signage. We didn't eat at the restaurant as it looked very small and a bit run down. I wouldn't recommend the island as there are nicer beaches elsewhere.

    Lobos via Pt de Carmen - See Dolphins?
    Part of the speedboat trip to see the dolphins . Booked trip Lanzorote Seatours. Picked up from hotel and taken to Pt de Carmen . Unfortunately no dolphins. At Lobos, uneven surface surrounded by black gravel . Very barren and unexciting views. Facilities very limited and very little shade. I found the place uninteresting as I saw only black gravel and dry bushes.

We took a picnic, booked a ferry and went!

You have to book your return journey which was a shame as we didnt know if we’d like it and we LOVED it!

Clear warm water, stunning views. Highly recommended for either a short visit or a day!!!

It's a lovely island but not much for sightseeing. Beaches are ok but the water is crystal clear when you get in it. Has an amazing hiking trail. I would recommend wearing trainers for hiking or aqua shoes if visiting for the beach as there's quite a few rocks. I also recommend taking food and drinks as there's only 1 restaurant/refreshment place on the island. I could not find a toilet for love nor money, saw a lady come out of one of the shacks with her baby and assumed it was a toilet with a changing facility, so I asked her and she said "no toilets here" so I recommend going on the ferry as I know there is some on there. I also couldn't understand how no-one inhabits the island but all the shacks were filled with people, either cooking/eating/chatting or doing laundry. I enjoyed myself but it was nothing like what I read on TripAdvisor. If you love snorkeling or hiking then this place is worth a visit.

Beautiful beaches and the sea was the bluest I’ve seen. Views of the volcano were breath taking. Took a water taxi over which was great fun. Kids loved it.

Fantastic island for exploring .
Wear sensible footwear and also don't forget the sunscreen.
very hot and not much shade.
Take a picnic as there are picnic benches in the shade on the way to the small town.
Only one restaurant and it was very busy but the seafood looked amazing.
Small shop beside restaurant selling beers, water and ice cream.
Toilets are just beyond the shop.
Well worth the visit.
we came from puerto del Carmen but never saw any dolphins or whales on the trip.
maybe next time

Beautiful place, 3.5 hours is not enough to explore. Mak sure you wear sensible shoes. Please note that the only toilets on the island are by the restaurant.

Visited here with my Husband, We had a great journey there and back on boat. Beaches are lovely, I prefer the beach to the right hand side as the water there is much more blues and fresh. We went to the beach on the left to start with. I actually got bitten on the side of my ankle in the sea. Not sure what by, all I know is I felt it latch on and I got this shock of a pain right through my ankle. I just panicked and shuck my leg to get what ever it was off and tried to get away. Upon getting out the water was when I noticed the blood and quite a few puncture holes in my skin. Although it was a bad moment and shuck me up a little. We still went on with our day and enjoyed it to the best we could
