Lobos Island ferry or water taxi from Corralejo

By the Boattripo team · Updated 13 October 2026 · 2 min read

The cruises compared here

Both tickets cover the same job: a return crossing from Corralejo to Lobos Island with the entry permit handled for you. Neither listing includes a guide, a meal or equipment.

What changes is how the day is organised. The ferry leaves from the port sales point of Naviera Nortour, while the water taxi starts from an office in town on Calle Iglesia. The sections below set the two side by side.

1Price, crossing time and what is included

The water taxi starts at € 16 and the ferry at € 17. Both prices are per adult, checked on 13 October 2026.

The ferry listing describes a crossing of about 20 minutes, and the water taxi listing gives 15 minutes. Both include the return ticket and the handling of the permit to enter the island; on the ferry the listing adds that this depends on the option. Neither lists exclusions.

2Return time and meeting point

For the ferry you go to the Naviera Nortour sales point at the port entrance, next to La Lonja, where they give you the boarding card with your return time. Arrive 20 minutes early; the last boarding is 10 minutes before departure.

For the water taxi you go to the Barracuda Perdomo office at Calle Iglesia 26, 15 minutes early. The way back is agreed on the day itself, and the listing says departures run every 30 minutes.

3Reviews and cancellation

The ferry has 9.1 from 4,552 reviews and the water taxi 9.4 from 862. The ferry has far more reviews, the water taxi the higher score.

Cancellation is free up to 24 hours before for the ferry and up to 48 hours before for the water taxi. After that, there is no refund. Neither listing names a boat type or a passenger limit.

Quick questions

Is the water taxi faster than the ferry to Lobos Island?

On the listings, slightly: about 15 minutes for the water taxi and about 20 minutes for the ferry. The gap is five minutes, so the return-time arrangement matters more than the crossing.

Can I choose my return time?

With the water taxi, yes: the listing says you agree it on the day, with departures every 30 minutes. With the ferry you get a boarding card at the sales point with your return time on it; the listing does not say whether it can be changed.
