A Family Adventure: Cruising from Lanzarote to Lobos Island
Eager to explore the Canary Islands with my kids, I embarked on a full-day cruise from Lanzarote to Corralejo and Lobos Island. The promise of pristine beaches and island adventures was too tempting to resist.
Setting Sail from Playa Blanca
As a family travel writer, I’m always on the lookout for experiences that can captivate both adults and children alike. When I heard about the Full-Day Cruise from Lanzarote to Corralejo and Lobos Island, I knew it was a must-try. The promise of pristine beaches, exhilarating boat rides, and the chance to explore two islands in one day was too tempting to resist.
Our adventure began in Playa Blanca, where we boarded the morning ferry. The kids were thrilled as we set sail, the salty breeze ruffling their hair and the vast ocean stretching out before us. The ferry ride was a smooth 30-minute journey, and the excitement in the air was palpable. As we approached Fuerteventura, the island’s rugged beauty came into view, and I could see the anticipation in my children’s eyes.
Upon arrival in Corralejo, we were greeted by friendly guides who directed us to the next leg of our journey. The organization was seamless, and it was comforting to know that everything was taken care of, allowing us to focus on enjoying the day.
Exploring the Tranquility of Lobos Island
Lobos Island was our first stop, and it was nothing short of magical. The island is a haven of tranquility, with its untouched landscapes and serene beaches. We spent the morning hiking along the trails, the kids eagerly exploring every nook and cranny. The island’s natural beauty was a perfect backdrop for family photos, and we took plenty to remember the day.
The staff on Lobos Island were exceptional, ensuring that we had everything we needed. They were knowledgeable and eager to share insights about the island’s history and ecology, making it an educational experience for the kids. We even had the chance to dip our toes in the Atlantic Ocean, the cool water a refreshing contrast to the warm sun.
As we left Lobos, I couldn’t help but feel grateful for the opportunity to share such a unique experience with my children. It was a day filled with laughter, learning, and the kind of memories that last a lifetime.
Strolling Through Corralejo
After our time on Lobos, we returned to Corralejo, a charming town with a vibrant atmosphere. We strolled along the promenade, stopping to enjoy some local delicacies at a quaint café. The kids were fascinated by the bustling streets and colorful shops, and we spent a leisurely afternoon exploring the town.
Corralejo’s beaches were a highlight, with their golden sands and crystal-clear waters. The children couldn’t resist building sandcastles and splashing in the waves, their laughter echoing across the shore. It was a perfect way to unwind before catching the ferry back to Lanzarote.
As we sailed back, the sun setting on the horizon, I reflected on the day’s adventures. The Full-Day Cruise had exceeded my expectations, offering a blend of relaxation, exploration, and family fun. It’s a trip I would wholeheartedly recommend to any family looking for a memorable day out in the Canary Islands.
