A popular form of entertainment in Corralejo is excursions to other islands. In particular, ferries and boats leave from the city's port to the volcanic island of Lanzarote and the small land oasis of Isla de Lobos.
Moving between the islands is possible via ferry crossings operated primarily by two local companies - ARMAS and Fred Olsen. On Lanzarote, ferries arrive at the port near Playa Blanca beach.
Tourists note that in terms of documents and tickets for ferries, everything is fairly strict and clearly checked, especially if the traveler is moving between islands in a rented car. For example, when buying tickets online, in addition to the passport number, it is required to specify the company and brand of the car, as well as its state number. Also, the person who will be driving the car should be correctly identified during the ticket purchase.
A car for a Lanzarote island jaunt can be booked through Cabrera Medina. The company has many rental locations in the Caribbean islands. Also, they provide a map of the island's attractions.
In addition, there are local companies in Corralejo that organize boat trips. In particular, El Majorero offers one-hour mini-cruises on a glass-bottom boat to Isla de Lobos. The trip costs 18 EUR for an adult and 9 EUR for children. The company also operates a regular ferry that runs 5 daily trips from 10:00 to 16:30 to Isla de Lobos. Tickets for the ferry can be purchased at the port ticket office at a price of 15 EUR for adults. There is a 50% discount for children.
The island of Isla de Lobos was once home to monk seals, which disappeared thanks to the hungry crew of French explorer Cierre de La Salle. In modern times, however, they have been reintroduced to the island. Upon arrival of the ferry from Corralejo, tourists can take a walk around the island and then order lunch at a restaurant on the Chiringuito waterfront and relax on the local beach.
On a boat trip, birdwatchers and nature lovers are advised to take binoculars for birdwatching or even hammerhead shark watching. Sharks are found in the waters around the island. In addition, Isla de Lobos is great for surfing and diving.
