Jet boat trip to Lobos Island
Spot dolphins and flying fish
Free time to swim and explore

What to expect

Isla de Lobos, or island of the wolves, is as remote and wild as they come – and your destination for the day on this rejuvenating boat trip. You'll disembark at Lobos Island where the time's yours to swim and go in search of peace and tranquillity. During the journey to and from Lanzarote, keep an eye on the dolphins, flying fish and whales that may join us for the ride.

You'll set sail from Puerto del Carmen, with Lobos Island in your sights. After about an hour and a half at sea, seeking out signs of activity for dolphins and whales, you'll land on the island's idyllic shores. White sand dunes shimmer beneath the clear seas, inviting you to swim and explore this protected natural area.

Head off on one of the paths, or keep to the shores doing as much, or as little, as you like. Then, after about two hours, you'll board the jet boat once more to skirt your way back to Lanzarote – keeping watch for the flying fish that often put on a show.

The trip was fab but there were no toilets available on the island as they were all blocked up. I know this is no fault of TUI but it does need mentioning as we had 2 and a half hours on the island.

We were fortunate enough to see a large family of dolphins on our way to the island. It was a privilege to see them in their natural environment and they seemed to put on a real display. Island itself was lovely and really interesting. Well looked after by the crew on a bit of a choppy return trip back to Lanzarote. Thank you.

Overall a great day and felt we like had just the right amount of time on the island. Only downside was the toilets on the island had been blocked so only 1 woman’s toilet was available which wasn’t great at all. Think overall the trip was great and loved seeing the dolphins

The only thing is it wasn't long enough on the island to see most of what was offered. You had to make a choice by the time we looked at the village, we didn't have time for the walk to the volcano and a dip in the sea otherwise it was fabulous. the guys on the boat were amazing and made it fun.

Lobos Island is interesting. We have liked maybe an extra 30 minutes on Lobos Island to explore it more thoroughly - it was a rush to walk to the Lighthouse at the far end of the island and back which didn't leave time to explore the village.

This was a enjoyable day out well worth the money. The island is beautiful. The staff were amazing, very knowledgeable and attentive. The highlight of the day was we were fortunate to see the dolphins. A very good experience. I would definitely recommend it.

Nat Geo Day Tour: La Geria, i vigneti nati dal fuoco

Quando i sei lunghi anni di eruzioni del Timanfaya cessarono nel 1736, i contadini di La Geria credevano che le loro fertili terre fossero perse per sempre sotto uno spesso strato di cenere. Ma le famiglie locali avevano bisogno di rendere nuovamente produttivi i terreni e, con duro lavoro e determinazione, riuscirono a creare i vigneti di La Geria.Inizierai con una passeggiata panoramica, seguendo sentieri attraverso vigneti privati appartenenti alla cantina a conduzione familiare di Nacho Romero, aperta esclusivamente ai viaggiatori di National Geographic.Mentre assorbi il carattere unico di questi paesaggi in cui i vigneti sono circondati da vulcani, il proprietario ti spiegherà come lo strato di cenere vulcanica, conosciuto localmente come "picón", ha influenzato i loro metodi di coltivazione, unici al mondo. Se sei abbastanza fortunato da trovarli maturi, potresti anche raccogliere l'uva direttamente dalla vite mentre ascolti Nacho o sua moglie Luisa, entrambi viticoltori, parlare delle caratteristiche del vino vulcanico. Di ritorno alla cantina dopo la passeggiata, potrai assaggiare uno dei vini artigianali che Nacho e Luisa producono nella loro azienda vinicola.Successivamente, ti dirigerai a Bodega La Geria, un'altra componente importante del movimento enologico ecologico. L'enologo in persona ti mostrerà la cantina. Scopri i segreti degli avvallamenti, chiamati "zocos", che riparano le viti dal vento, e scopri le diverse varietà di uva che prosperano nel terroir vulcanico di Lanzarote. Per finire, goditi una degustazione di uno dei rinomati vini dell'azienda con formaggio locale e cracker.

Nat Geo Day Tour: La bellezza vulcanica di Lanzarote, tour fotografico

Diventa un narratore visivo con l'aiuto della tua guida fotografica formata da National Geographic. Raccoglierai informazioni preziose su come realizzare lo scatto perfetto, sia in termini di composizione, illuminazione o narrazione. Dopo aver introdotto l'elemento agonistico della giornata, la guida ti accompagnerà nel viaggio in auto attraverso il Parco Nazionale di Timanfaya. Durante il tour, potrai ammirare i paesaggi lunari di Timanfaya che si sono formati centinaia di anni fa, quando una serie di eruzioni vulcaniche ricoprirono di lava un quarto dell'isola. Si tratta di campi di lava frastagliati, cupi coni vulcanici e distese di cenere grigio carbone. Farai quindi una sosta al punto panoramico di Islote de Hilario per vedere la potenza dell'energia geotermica e godere del panorama. Proseguendo verso il villaggio di pescatori di El Golfo, troverai un agglomerato di edifici tradizionali e barche colorate che contrastano con la spiaggia di sabbia nera e l'insolito lago verde. È un luogo perfetto per catturare i contrasti di colore. Sarà poi il momento di scoprire le antiche saline di Salinas de Janubio, un altro paesaggio che emana drammaticità e fascino. Quest'area è una Riserva di Biosfera dell'UNESCO e un'importante riserva ornitologica: prepara la macchina fotografica. Con un fotografo esperto al tuo fianco, acquisirai nuove competenze e nuova ispirazione, oltre a una raccolta di immagini impressionanti. La giornata si conclude sulla terrazza di Salinas de Janubio, dove potrai rilassarti degustando un bicchiere di vino o di birra e uno spuntino mentre la guida fotografica esamina le foto della giornata e sceglie lo scatto vincente.
