Highlights

Outing Highlights

THE ROUTE

Crossing El Río and the view of Montaña de la Caldera

The trip hugs the stretch known as “El Río,” the 2‑kilometre arm of sea between Fuerteventura and Isla de Lobos, offering from the catamaran a privileged view of the Montaña de la Caldera and its ancient volcanic crater.

THE BEACH

La Concha: anchoring in turquoise water

The catamaran anchors near La Concha, a reserve famed for its turquoise waters and abundant marine life, where guests divide into groups for shore landings and water activities.

THE ISLAND

Guided walk to the Puertito and crystal lagoons

A semi‑rigid transfers one group to the Puerto de Isla de Lobos for a guided walk that visits the island’s clear lagoons and the old fishermen’s village, with a planned photo stop at the famous Puertito.

Suitability

Who it's for

Who this format favors — based on how participants are managed onboard and ashore.

1
Small‑group travelersA good match for travelers who prefer smaller group experiences: participants are divided into two groups of approximately 10 people.
2
Those who like structured swapsThe itinerary’s group division creates a clear rotation between shore time and on‑boat activities, reflecting the operator’s practice of splitting guests into groups of about 10.
3
Visitors seeking reduced crowdingBecause guests are split into two groups of roughly 10, the outing reduces crowding during landings and guided island walks.
4
People who prefer shared but limited‑size experiencesThe division into approximately 10‑person groups provides a shared experience without very large crowds, matching travelers who want community but not mass‑tourism scales.
