I LOVE LOBOS

The little island of Los Lobos which lies between Lanzarote and Fuerteventura is a great place to visit if you enjoy a sea-based excursion.

The island is a nature reserve and home to many species of birdlife, as well as over 130 indigenous plant species, although it got its name from the seals which used to inhabit the place before the conquistadores arrived.

The trip brings you to the shallow waters just off the island by catamaran from Marina Rubicon in Playa Blanca.

Once you’ve weighed anchor you can snorkel the incredibly clear waters surrounding the island or go ashore and explore the rugged coastline, which also has golden sandy coves.

Lunch of a delicious paella is served on board, accompanied by sangria, beer or soft drinks. It’s recommended you bring sun tan lotion, swimwear, hat and towel.
