Lobos Island gets more fun by boat. This private Lagoon 400 trip from Corralejo lets you shape the day with your own pace and time on the water, including snorkelling and kayaking gear, plus drinks and photos on board. The main catch is the price is per group (up to 4), so you’ll get the best value with a full boat.

The catamarans are Lagoons, built for stability and comfort, so it tends to feel like a float day instead of a white-knuckle ride. You might even be looked after by crew members like Frank and Pierre, based on names guests have shared from past trips. And you can bring your own food thanks to tableware aboard, or add lunch from two à la carte menus.

Key things to know before you go

• Private Lagoon 400 with your group only, so you’re not squeezed into a bigger shared schedule
• Snorkelling plus paddle boards and kayaks are included, not just offered
• Drinks are part of the package, including soft drinks, beer, wine, coffee, and tea
• Underwater photos and free souvenir photos are included, which saves you the hassle
• You can bring your own food (tableware included) or choose a paid lunch option

Private Lagoon 400: why this Lobos catamaran feels different

This is one of those trips where the “private” part is more than a marketing word. You’re on a Lagoons catamaran (specifically listed as Lagoon 400), and the big practical benefit is that you can run the day around what you want: longer water time, more swimming breaks, or a calmer pace with extra lounging.

I like that the experience is built around water time instead of a long lecture or a rushed schedule. You’re not just getting taken to a spot; you get the kit and the freedom to use it. With included paddle boards and kayaks, you can split up a bit and still stay together as a group.

One thing to consider: the day length can vary (listed as about 4 to 8 hours), but the core package is strongest when you plan intentionally. If you book the shorter end and skip food or drinks planning, you might feel like you left something on the table.

Corralejo morning: where you meet and what the handoff is like

Your start point is in Corralejo at Fuerteventura Dune Buggy Tours, Av. Juan Carlos I, 74 (the activity ends back at this same meeting point). If you’re staying in the Corralejo area, hotel pickup is available, and the exact pickup point gets confirmed after you share your accommodation info.

The meeting point is near public transportation, so even if you’re not doing pickup, you shouldn’t feel trapped. You’ll also get a mobile ticket, which is handy when you’re bouncing between beaches, cafés, and buses.

What I’d do if I were planning: set aside time before the departure to handle water, sunscreen, and a quick snack if you expect to wait out on the water. The trip includes drinks, but having your own plan for food helps if you’re picky.

Lobos Island time: snorkeling, swimming, and kayak fun on your terms

Once you’re out, this trip’s center of gravity is simple: snorkelling, swimming, and paddling. The included items matter because they remove friction. You’re not standing around trying to figure out how to rent equipment or find out what’s actually available at the last minute.

Snorkelling is listed as included, and the package also mentions “trollingSnorkelling.” The wording is a little unusual, but the takeaway for you is that the operator provides snorkeling as an actual activity, not just a vague suggestion. Then there’s kayaking (including both single and double kayaks) and paddle boards.

Here’s the real value: you can decide how energetic you want the day to be. If your group wants to swim and snorkel nonstop, you can. If you want to rotate between water time and resting on the boat, you can also do that, since you’re private.

The only downside is the obvious one: since it’s your group only, you’ll want to align expectations up front. If one person wants long snorkel sessions and someone else mainly wants to lounge, you’ll have a smoother day if you agree on a rhythm before you reach the island.

Water activities gear: what’s included and how to use it smart

This tour lists a solid set of included gear:

• 2 paddle boards
• 2 single kayaks
• 2 double kayaks
• Snorkelling support (trolling/snorkelling)
• Underwater photos and souvenir photos

Because the gear count is explicit, you can plan for your group size without guessing. With up to 4 people, you’re likely to have at least one paddle board and a kayak option that fits how you want to move through the water.

Practical tip: assign roles quickly. If you’ve got a double kayak, decide who paddles first and who’s more interested in just drifting and looking around. For snorkelling, decide who’s going in together so nobody has to wait on the boat for ages.

Another small win: the operator also includes drinks onboard. That makes it easier to keep the “activity breaks” short and frequent, instead of everyone getting cranky and demanding you head back early.

Food and drinks: bring-your-own flexibility plus paid lunch options

This is one of the more traveler-friendly setups: you can bring your own food. The boat is equipped with tableware, which is a big deal. It means you’re not stuck eating from containers while half the group tries to keep balance.

If you don’t want to pack food, there’s an option to add lunch as an extra. The operator lists two à la carte menus for lunch, which gives you a choice rather than a single fixed meal.

What about drinks? Soft drinks, beer, white and red wine, water, coffee, and tea are included. If your group wants something outside that list, the operator says they’ll provide a quote. That’s useful if you’re planning a celebration and have a specific drink or food idea.

One consideration: because lunch and any extra food/drinks are add-ons, your final cost depends on how you use the included options versus ordering extras. If you’re trying to keep the budget tight, treat the included drinks as your baseline and only add lunch if it genuinely saves effort for your group.

Photos that take the stress out of memories

You get free souvenir photographs included, and the package also lists underwater photographs. Even if you don’t consider yourself a “photo person,” this matters because water days are chaotic. Someone’s always switching gear, someone else forgets where they put the phone, and nobody wants to be the designated camera holder.

The operator handling the photo part is a low-effort win. It also means you’ll have something to look back on that goes beyond a few blurry shots taken between sunscreen applications.

If you want to maximize this benefit, keep your snorkel and swimming routine simple. Clear moments of calm snorkelling and time spent in the water tend to be when photos actually come out well.

How long should you book: 4 to 8 hours and pacing your day

This trip is listed as about 4 to 8 hours. You can also customize the itinerary and the length, which is the kind of flexibility you typically pay extra for in many places.

For value, I’d think about it this way:

• Choose around 4 hours if your goal is snorkeling plus a couple kayak/paddle board rotations, then you’re back to Corralejo for dinner.
• Choose longer if your group likes slower starts, multiple water sessions, and more time to enjoy the boat itself.

Since the price is per group, not per person, booking a longer day can feel more “worth it” if you’ll actually use the extra hours. If your group is energy-variable, the longer option lets everyone have their preferred pace without feeling like you’re rushing.

Price and value for a group up to four

At $905.09 per group (up to 4), this isn’t a budget add-on. But the value comes from what’s included and the fact you’re booking a private boat, not a seat on a shared departure.

Here’s the practical math: if you fill all four spots, you’re effectively paying about $226 per person. That’s where the comparison shifts. Shared tours sometimes look cheaper until you factor in what they charge extra for—equipment, drinks, and any photo extras.

What’s included here helps a lot:

• snorkelling plus paddle boards and kayaks
• drinks (soft drinks, beer, wine, coffee, tea, water)
• underwater photos and free souvenir photographs
• hotel transfer in the Corralejo area
• admission ticket listed as free for the 4-hour option

So the “value question” isn’t just cost. It’s whether you and your group will actually use the included water gear and stay long enough to make the private setup feel like a real upgrade.

Who should book this Lobos private catamaran (and who might not)

This tour is a strong fit if you want:

• A private day with only your group, built around water activities
• A mix of snorkeling and paddling, with equipment handled for you
• An easy drink plan and photo memories without extra hassle
• Options for food: bring your own or add lunch

It may be less ideal if:

• You’re traveling solo or as a couple and can’t comfortably fill the up-to-4 group. The experience is priced per group, so empty seats hurt the value.
• Your group mainly wants a quick beach stop with no water activities. This trip’s best bits are on the water.

Also, it’s described as suitable for most travelers, and children must be with an adult. If you’ve got a mixed group, the included gear variety (single and double kayaks, paddle boards) helps everyone find their comfort zone.

Booking timing and what to expect after you sign up

On average, this is booked about 25 days in advance, and confirmation is typically received within 48 hours of booking, subject to availability. That’s enough lead time to plan food and decide how long you want the trip to be.

You’ll also get clear start/end logistics: you meet at the Corralejo office address and return there. Pickup points (in Corralejo) get confirmed after you provide your accommodation details, so do that promptly once you book.

Should you book? My decision guide

I’d book this private Lobos catamaran if you want a low-stress, high-fun water day where the main costs are clear up front and the included gear actually matches the activities you want (snorkelling, paddle boards, kayaks). The included drinks and photo package also tip the balance, because they cut down on little add-ons that add up on many tours.

If you’re debating between a shared boat and private: go private when you care about pacing and you’ll use the water activities. It’s especially worth it when you can fill the group of four.

If you want the best outcome, decide early: how long you want to be out there, whether you’ll bring your own food, and how your group plans to split snorkelling versus paddling. When you do that, you’re basically buying yourself a smooth day that runs the way you picture it.
