The short version

A double kayak is €25 an hour.

Everything else here is a guided trip priced per person, and what you buy is hours on the water: two off the beach at La Lajita in the south, four along the coast from Corralejo, six across to Isla de Lobos and back, seven on a full day.

Kayak, paddle, buoyancy aid, mask and fins come with all of them.

What it costs

The whole range sits between an hourly hire and a seven-hour day, so from €15 to €80. The ladder, cheapest first:

  • €15 an hour for the boat — Puerto Castillo, a single kayak or a paddle board with board, paddle and a staff member showing you how to start; a double kayak is €25 an hour.
  • €40.50 per person online (€45 on the price list) — Kayaking Atlantis, two hours from La Lajita beach with thirty minutes of guided snorkelling, masks and snorkels provided, free pick-up in the south.
  • €50 per person — Kayak Fuerteventura's coastal morning from Corralejo, 9:00 to 13:00, the launch spot chosen on the day for wind and sea, from twelve years.
  • €60 per person — the crossing to Isla de Lobos, 9:00 to 15:00, a guided walk on the island with an environmental technician, snorkelling and lunch, from sixteen years.
  • €80 per person — the full day, 9:00 to 16:00, Pack A on the west coast and the north or Pack B on the southeast with a 40 km transfer included, wetsuit and lunch inside the price.

  • Difficulty low, no previous experience needed, minimum age 12. Wetsuit and buoyancy aid are provided and tuition is part of the trip.
  • Sun protection, drinking water, swimsuit and towel. Pick-up is only within Corralejo, so if you are staying elsewhere plan how you will get into town for 9:00.

VC Veronika Chladová
Coastal Kayak and Snorkel Morning from Corralejo

Wonderful sea kayaking adventure! Whether you are a beginner or an experienced paddler, Jorge will prepare a day suited to you and you'll learn much not just about paddling and surfing but also about the nature and history of the islands.

TC Teresa Castro
Coastal Kayak and Snorkel Morning from Corralejo

The excursion was fantastic. Jorge is incredible, very friendly, and treated us wonderfully. The trip is very complete and it is the ideal way to experience it. Recommended 100 %.

BW Bernhard Wissing
Coastal Kayak and Snorkel Morning from Corralejo

If you want to paddle a proper sea kayak tour, this is the place — not a sit-on-top, but a sea kayak with a spraydeck. Jorge provides high-quality equipment and guides professionally. A briefing on paddling technique and safety is of course part of it.

SP Stefan Pierrau
Sea Kayak Crossing to Isla de Lobos with Snorkelling and Lunch

We had a fantastic day on the sea and around Los Lobos island. Jorge is a super experienced kayak guide and trainer. We had a really good time together kayaking on the sea, along the Los Lobos coastline, visiting small cosy bays, and did some nice snorkelling on the east coast with very clear water.

FAQ

What does it cost and what is included?
50 € per person, printed on the operator's own page for this excursion. It covers pick-up and drop-off in Corralejo, insurance, sea kayak, paddle, buoyancy aid, wetsuit, snorkelling mask and flippers. Groups of more than six get a discount. — Coastal Kayak and Snorkel Morning from Corralejo
Do we need a permit for Isla de Lobos?
Yes, the island has one — a law limits it to 200 simultaneous visitors, and the island corporation runs an online system to obtain the authorisation. The operator states it manages that for you as part of the trip, so you do not book it yourself. — Sea Kayak Crossing to Isla de Lobos with Snorkelling and Lunch
How long is the trip and how much of it is snorkelling?
Two hours in total, of which the instructor guides thirty minutes of snorkelling. The rest is paddling along the rocky coast. — Two Hours on the Southern Cliffs
Is the double kayak priced per person?
No — 25 € is the hour for the double kayak itself, so two people sharing it pay 25 € between them, not 25 € each. — Kayak and Stand-Up Paddle Hire by the Hour at Puerto Castillo
What is the difference between Pack A and Pack B?
Pack A is the west coast and the north; Pack B is the southeast coast and includes a 40 km transfer to reach it. Both are 80 € per person. — West, North or Southeast Coast
Where exactly do we paddle?
It is decided on the day. The operator says it aims for the best locations given the wind and sea conditions, and that all of them have good scenery, clear water and reefs worth snorkelling. — Coastal Kayak and Snorkel Morning from Corralejo
How hard is the crossing?
Nine kilometres of paddling over the day, of which the crossing itself is about four; the operator normally takes forty-five minutes. It asks for reasonable physical condition and says that with a bit of effort everyone can make it. Full paddling instruction is included for beginners. — Sea Kayak Crossing to Isla de Lobos with Snorkelling and Lunch
Where does it start?
From the beach of La Lajita in the south of the island, where the operator's office and kayak school are. Free pick-up from hotels and apartments in the south is included; you give the address when you book. — Two Hours on the Southern Cliffs
Do I get any instruction?
For the paddle board, yes — the marina states the hire includes board, paddle and a staff member who shows you how to get started. For the kayak it describes a quiet ride around the bay, without naming an instructor. — Kayak and Stand-Up Paddle Hire by the Hour at Puerto Castillo
Will I know the route before I go?
Not exactly. The operator states that where the day starts and finishes is decided by the wind and sea conditions and by the ability and preferences of the participants, so the pack tells you which side of the island, not which beach. — West, North or Southeast Coast

Two different products live under one name here. At the marina in Caleta de Fuste you hire a boat by the hour and stay in a sheltered bay on your own. Everywhere else you buy a guided day: a fixed departure, kit, snorkelling and a route the guide picks that morning for the wind and the sea.

Hire by the hour or a guided trip, and from what age?#

Hire is what the marina at Puerto Castillo sells: kayak or board, paddle, off you go, with no guide on the water and no snorkelling gear, every day of the year. A guided trip means a 9:00 pick-up inside Corralejo or a free transfer from hotels in the south, a wetsuit or a spraydeck, mask and fins, insurance, and a launch point set on the day.

WhereWhat you getPrice

Twelve on the coastal morning from Corralejo, and sixteen on both the Lobos crossing and the day trips, where reasonable physical condition is asked for and groups are formed by paddling level. Kayaking Atlantis does not publish a minimum age for its two hours at La Lajita, and guests describe going with a nine- and a ten-year-old, so confirm it for your party. The double kayak at Puerto Castillo is the obvious boat for an adult with a child.

Is a permit needed for Isla de Lobos?#

Yes. A law caps the island at 200 simultaneous visitors and the island corporation runs an online system for the free authorisation. On the kayak crossing the operator states that it manages that for you as part of the trip, so there is nothing extra to arrange or pay. That is one of the practical differences from arriving by boat: you cross under your own power, four of the nine kilometres over open water in about forty-five minutes.

How much of the day does the water take?#

More than the hours on the price list suggest. The coastal morning runs 9:00 to 13:00 door to door, including the drive to whichever launch spot suits the conditions; the Lobos crossing takes until 15:00 and the day trips until 16:00, with up to 40 km of transfer inside Pack B. Only the hire at Caleta de Fuste and the two hours at La Lajita leave the rest of the day free.

What is worth checking before you book?#

  • The transfer splits by coast: Kayak Fuerteventura picks up and drops off inside Corralejo only, while Kayaking Atlantis includes free pick-up from hotels and apartments in the south and asks for the address in the booking form.
  • Food and water: lunch and drinking water come with the Lobos crossing and the day trips, while the four-hour coastal morning asks you to bring your own water.
  • Groups of more than six get a discount from Kayak Fuerteventura, which names the rule but not the amount, so ask for the figure when you book.
  • Photographs: the guide takes them on the coastal morning; at La Lajita they are marked as available on request, and guests describe buying the set afterwards, one of them naming €20.
  • Languages: briefings at La Lajita are given in English, Spanish, German, Polish, French and Russian, and Kayak Fuerteventura lists Spanish, English and French.

Important

Two price units live in this category. The hire at Puerto Castillo is charged for the boat — €15 an hour for a single kayak or a paddle board, €25 for a double, so two people sharing the double pay €25 between them. Every guided trip is charged per person, and the 10 % online discount at La Lajita applies to that per-person figure.
