Beautiful - Excellent experience from start to finish. Tour guide was excellent. We saw a few dolphins on the way to Lobos and a larger pod on the way back. Beautiful! The lunch consisted of a ham and cheese sandwich, a mini ham and cheese baguette, a gazpacho cold soup in a carton, a yoghurt drink, a small bottle of water and a small can of beer. Not the most amazing of lunches but it was nice. Very hot on Lobos where we were able to spend 2 hours looking around the tiniest village, where there is a bar and then sunbathing and swimming on the stunning golden sand and clear blue waters

Trip to Los Lobos - Bus pick up was punctual which was good but once arrived at the tour we were left waiting 25 minutes for our tour guide to come and allow us on the boat. Boat ride was good even if there were no Dolphins to be seen, had plenty of time on the island and the beach was lovely and it was nice to explore around or just relax on the beach. The packed lunch was okay and will do but it was nothing special

The trip was well... - The trip was well organised and the speed boat was comfortable. Our guide was lovely and very friendly particularly to the children. We unfortunately didn't see any dolphins but there was a heat weather warning in place which our guide explained made things more difficult. This is also a trip to the island and not a dolphin spotting tour which is different, although we were told that they typically see dolphins every day but not on every crossing (again we were told there were 3 a day). The island itself was nice to see with a lovely beach and information posts in different areas. The lunch provided was exactly as advertised and was nice. Overall we had a good time!

Lovely experience - Very well organised and friendly crew. We were privileged to not only spot dolphins on our journey out but also on our return 🥰 The only negative I would say was the fact that you are dropped at the island with a small map and no guidance/suggestions of what to do whilst there.

Los lobos not worth a visit - Was extremely disappointed with this trip ! Even thou we saw some dolphins & the guide was really knowledgeable & happy!, we was given a pack lunch which was a spam & cheese sandwich slapped together with no spread, water, beer, cold soup In a carton & yogurt drink! It was perceived you got this on board. The picture which is advertised with crystal clear blue water is nothing like it when you arrive on the island! Not worth the money !

Not good - The experience was not at all like it said it would be on the pamphlet we were given or how the lady we booked with described. We were promised a speed thrilling boat ride which we did not receive. The boat was slow, the staff on the boat were clueless and extremely rude. One of my family members was sick off the side of the boat and the staff got angry and rolled their eyes instead of helping. I guess you could blame this on the boat company or the trip adviser but we were not informed whatsoever that we would be dropped off at lobos island for 3 hours free time with bare minimum facilities. Overall the experience was not what we were told it was, disappointing and a waste of nearly £200.

Expensive boring mistake - Expensive and poor value for money. Also mis-sold as a ‘super fast’ speedboat experience. Boat was slow, and the leaflet plus sales agent failed to mention being deposited on an uninhabited, barren island for 3 hours. Paid 175 Euros for me, plus my 12 and 15 yr old. Both were bored throughout most of the trip. Had no great expectations re dolphins. They would have been an added bonus. Still, the only wildlife we saw was seagulls and flies on what is supposed to be a nature reserve. Hung out on a nearby beach (shuffled along rocky, dusty path in flip flops for 10 minutes). Views from the beach of surrounding waters and nearby Fuertaventura were very pretty but adolescents have zero interest in pretty views. We also don’t like beaches. Both kids are neurodivergent with sensory issues around sand and beaches. Lunch was a couple of stale, dry ham and cheese sandwiches, a bottle of water, can of beer, carton of gazpacho, and yoghurt drink (who the hell can mix all of that in one belly?) My son was suddenly sea sick on the trip over. Staff rolled their eyes in disdain and rushed to shove a sick bag at him - more concerned that he threw up in the bag rather than over the side than they were for his wellbeing. The only little bit of fun we had was on the journey back because the boat was driving into the oncoming wind so we got bounced around on waves a bit. Not the speedboat experience described or sold to us, but as close as it was going to get. If you’re genuinely interested in the island landscape, you’ll need more time there to explore. For us though, we were just sitting out our sentences, waiting to get back on the boat. Nearby ferries from Fuertaventura had passengers jumping, playing, and swimming off the back of their boat. That looked like fun and was more of the sea swimming experience we had expected based on better, cheaper, more interesting and more fun boat tours we’ve done in the past.

Beautiful island but not value for money - Whilst the island was pretty and the beach was beautiful you are actually not on the island long enough to properly explore before needing to catch the boat again . The speed boat is nice , unfortunately we didn’t see any dolphins which was a shame but it does say it isn’t guaranteed. There is a fair bit to see on the island but as you have to walk everywhere there isn’t time to explore properly I would say that the cost for 2 adults and 2 children 200euro is over priced for what it was. Lunch and drinks provided was disappointing for the price paid . We got a carton of cold tomato soup , a yoghurt drink and half a sandwich . Not ideal for small kids and given the price paid it wasn’t value for money .

Atrocious - Rubbish. Most expensive water taxi known to man. The island itself was worth a visit if your not going from Lanzarote. Saying that, not much to see or do Ince you get there. Poor lunch packup too. To be honest it was a wasted day.
