What this page compares
The Nortour ferry + snorkeling product is a regular return ferry combined with a short coastal boat ride, a drink and a 25-minute snorkeling stop. The Lobos Surf speedboat is a more personal four-hour adventure for no more than six participants, with longer snorkeling, photos and free time ashore. Neither is simply the cheapest standard ferry ticket.

Which experience should you choose?
- Choose Nortour ferry + snorkel when you want the established ferry format, a short beginner-friendly water stop and a lower published starting price.
- Choose the Lobos Surf speedboat when a group of up to six, a livelier crossing, longer water time and included photos matter more than the lowest price.
- Choose the standard ferry when hiking, beaches and independent time are the priority and you are happy to bring your own snorkeling gear.
Permit, check-in and suitability
Landing on Lobos requires the visitor authorization. The Nortour product can offer permit processing as a paid option, or you can request the permit yourself for free through LobosPass. Read the selected option before paying. Both activities leave from Corralejo; use the port and check-in guide and arrive with the margin stated on the voucher.
The live Nortour product marks the activity as unsuitable for people with mobility impairments. The speedboat product excludes children under two, pregnant travellers and people with back problems, and warns that the ride can be bumpy in wind. Product-specific restrictions override general boat information.
