Nortour
Naviera Nortour runs the crossing between Corralejo, in the municipality of La Oliva, and Isla de Lobos, aboard the Ferry Majorero and in about 20 minutes, with several departures a day. The meeting point is at the entrance to the Puerto de Corralejo, next to the Bar La Lonja. Access to the islet is regulated and an authorisation from the Cabildo de Fuerteventura is required; it can be arranged when booking the ticket online.
Isla de Lobos was declared a Parque Natural in 1982, and since 15 January 2019 the Cabildo de Fuerteventura has capped the number of daily visitors, so a visitor permit is compulsory. Naviera Nortour says it can be arranged with the ferry ticket on its own website or through the Cabildo. Departures are from the Puerto de Corralejo, and the crossing takes in Lanzarote, Corralejo and the islet.
On Lobos, waymarked paths lead to El Puertito, a former fishing settlement, to the Playa de La Concha, Las Lagunitas, Las Salinas and the Faro de Martiño; the Montaña de La Caldera rises to 127 metres. Motor vehicles are not allowed, domestic animals may not be brought over, and walkers must keep to the authorised paths. Cycling means bringing your own bike from Corralejo. There are no shops, so water, food, sturdy footwear and sun protection are worth packing.
