In addition, its rich seabed has been declared as an underwater reserve.<\/p>\n<p>Its highest point is <strong>La Caldera<\/strong> at 127m. Its 13km of coastline and 4km\u00b2 area are full of small beaches and coves, enormous sandbanks, solidified lava rivers and <em>malpaises<\/em>.<\/p>\n<h2>How to get there<\/h2>\n<p>There are many ways to get to Lobos Island, but the most common is to take a ferry from Corralejo.<\/p>\n<p>There are lots of people who cross in their own vessels, whether boats, jet skis etc. Whatever the case, the only place that you can disembark is in El Puertito.<\/p>\n<p>The ferry journey takes around 20 minutes and costs \u20ac15 per person, although various companies offer trips to the island, which means the price can vary from one to another. Also, each offers different types of trips: guided tours, boats with glass bottom boats, food during the journey etc.<\/p>\n<p>We recommend the following options:<\/p>\n<div data-gyg-href=\"https:\/\/widget.getyourguide.com\/default\/activites.frame\" data-gyg-locale-code=\"en-UK\" data-gyg-widget=\"activities\" data-gyg-number-of-items=\"4\" data-gyg-partner-id=\"AVJ3N2X\" data-gyg-q=\"isla de lobos\"><\/div>\n<p><script async defer src=\"https:\/\/widget.getyourguide.com\/v2\/widget.js\"><\/script><\/p>\n<h2>Permits<\/h2>\n<p>Since 2019, access to Lobos has been limited by Fuerteventura\u2019s government to ensure the sustainability of the natural spaces.<\/p>\n<p>The permit is free, however, you are only able to reserve it 5 days before your visit. You can only get a permit for a maximum of 3 people. It also limits your time on the island to just 4 hours:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Morning hours<\/strong> (10am-2pm)<\/li>\n<li><strong>Afternoon hours<\/strong> (2pm-6pm)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>More info <a href=\"https:\/\/lobospass.com\/welcome\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h2>Looking around Lobos<\/h2>\n<p>As soon as you step off the boat, you can contemplate the island\u2019s natural purity. There is just an informtion cabin and a statue in memory of the sea lions that used to populate the island. 4km2 of wild nature and spectacular untouched wilderness is waiting for us.<\/p>\n<p>Most people who visit the island do so to enjoy the magnificent coves and beaches, but the small size of the island means you can enjoy the coast as well as taking a walk through its trails.<\/p>\n<p>The trails are well defined, and the points of interest are perfectly signposted. Lobos has been declared a protected area, so it is forbidden to leave the paths to maintain the purity of the island. If you\u2019re planning on walking on any of them, it\u2019s recommended to wear suitable shoes and protect yourself from the sun that looms over the island practically all year round.<\/p>\n<p>The main route starts in the southern area, where we disembark and traverse the whole island through the centre towards the lighthouse on the north coast, from which you can see the south face of <a href=\"https:\/\/golanzarote.org\/en\/\">Lanzarote<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>The first thing that draws the attention when you start the route is the La Caldera volcano, which is the highest point of Lobos at 127m and what initially created the island. You can climb to the summit, and as well as the crater you\u2019ll be able to delight in the privileged views towards Lanzarote and the <a href=\"https:\/\/gofuerteventura.com\/en\/explore\/dunes-corralejo\/\">Sand Dunes of Corralejo<\/a> (<em>Dunas de Corralejo<\/em>).<\/p>\n<p>On Lobos, there is only one restaurant, so if you want to make sure you have food, it\u2019s recommended to make a reservation there as soon as you arrive on the island, or even bring your own food.<\/p>\n<h2>Bathing areas<\/h2>\n<p>There are several beaches and coves on Lobos Island, but because it is a protected area, access is only allowed to <a href=\"https:\/\/gofuerteventura.com\/en\/explore\/el-puertito\/\"><em>El Puertito<\/em><\/a>. The rest of the beaches have restricted access.<\/p>\n<p>La Concha Beach (<em>Playa de La Concha<\/em>), also known as La Caleta Beach (<em>Playa de La Caleta<\/em>) is found in the south of Lobos. It is a rocky white sand beach, with a horseshoe shape and fairly wide.<\/p>\n<p>Very close, to the east of La Concha, you\u2019ll find El Puertito, a spectacular cove with crystal-clear waters that is ideal for snorkelling.<\/p>\n<h2>Frequently asked questions<\/h2>\n        <section class=\"sc_fs_faq sc_card \">\n            <div>\n\t\t\t\t<h3>Do I need a permit to travel to Lobos Island?<\/h3>                <div>\n\t\t\t\t\t                    <p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\tYes.
