On this five-day sailing adventure, we will visit the south of Lanzarote, with its well-known Papagayo beach, one of the most beautiful on the island. We will also collaborate with an NGO working for the conservation of cetaceans in a citizen science project. To top it off, we will visit the small and uninhabited Isla de Lobos, a neighbouring island located north of Fuerteventura.

Day 1. Arrecife

Boarding will be at Marina Lanzarote, in Arrecife starting at 4pm. Once we are on board, we will sail south until we reach the Playa Quemada area, where we will look for an anchorage to spend the night.

Day 2. Citizen science program studying the conservation of cetaceans in the Canary Islands.

Today the scientific NGO for the protection of cetaceans in the Canary Islands awaits us. We will learn about your project and take part in the citizen science program. Sailing with their team of natural scientists, we’ll carry out a range of sightings and data collection tasks.

Day 3. Papagayo Coast

We will spend the day at the beautiful Papagayo beach. It is an incredible place to enjoy a day of sun and sea, surrounded by nature and an incredible landscape. It is also a perfect point to get closer to the Natural Monument of Los Ajaches, a volcanic massif, with steep cliffs that end in the sea, and where we can enjoy spectacular views.

Day 4. Lobos Island

Today we will visit the Isla de Lobos. We will take a walking tour and for those who want to snorkel in its waters, or SCUBA dive to discover its underwater world.

Lobos is a good place to find the perfect wave to surf if conditions allow it for those of you who have surfing experience.

Day 5. Sail from Isla de Lobos to Arrecife

After a good breakfast enjoying the calm that Isla Lobos continues to offer us, we will sail back to Arrecife. Disembarkation will be around 4pm.

* Donation of €90 to the NGO Scientific for the Study and Conservation of Cetaceans in the Canary Islands (not included in the tar IFAS). The activity that is carried out in collaboration with the association for the protection of cetaceans in the Canary Islands, requires a donation that goes directly to defray the expenses they have of the project and that contributes to their continued carrying out this scientific project. The association is a non-profit foundation and they are fully paid to cover the expenses of the project. This donation is not included in the travel rates and will be made directly to the NGO.

The itineraries can be seen modified according to weather conditions. In the event that the weather conditions do not allow the stipulated itinerary to be carried out, an alternative itinerary will be proposed.

The prices of the trips are contemplated for the planned itineraries. In the case, that during the program extra expenses arise, either due to the modification of the itinerary, due to weather conditions or due to decisions of the passengers, the extraordinary expenses that may be caused (for example, moorings, ports, taxes, meals or extra drinks). These extra expenses will be divided among all members of the group.

Our trips are designed to explore and get to know the destination sustainably, respecting nature and our environment. We promote environmental education and awareness, sustainable life and responsible consumption. They are sailing trips, so the participants will also be involved in the daily tasks of life on board. The collaboration of all will be required in the night watches, if necessary, collaboration in navigation and kitchen tasks.
