Book this for the easiest day trip off Lanzarote: a 35-minute fast ferry from Playa Blanca to Corralejo on Fuerteventura, with five sailings a day each way. It is rated 4.7 out of 5 by 512 GetYourGuide reviewers. Your ticket is for the time you choose, and the return does not have to be the same day.
Starts inPlaya Blanca
You exchange your ticket for a boarding pass at the Fred. Olsen Express box office in Playa Blanca harbour, then board the Buganvilla, the passenger ferry your ticket is valid on. It has 250 seats across an indoor deck, an outdoor deck and a solarium, plus a cafeteria.
The crossing over the Bocayna Strait takes 35 minutes. You land in Corralejo, on Fuerteventura’s northern tip, with its old town and shops close to the port.
From Corralejo you can spend the day in town, head for the beaches, or take the boat on to Isla de Lobos. Then return at the time on your ticket, or on another day if you are staying longer. Bring your passport or ID: the listing asks for it.
On the way across, the outside deck and solarium are the places for views of the Bocayna Strait, and the inside deck is there if you want shade. Cancellation is free up to 24 hours before, and you can reserve now and pay later, which makes it easy to wait for a clear day.
Reviewers found the trip easy and good value. One noted that boarding in Corralejo can feel a little chaotic, so arrive in good time for the return sailing.

Worth knowing: Boarding queues in Corralejo can be disorganised
Booking ahead fixes your seat at the time you want, and the ferry starts in Playa Blanca, so there is no transfer for guests in the south. Pair it with the Isla de Lobos return ticket from Corralejo for a two-island day, the best way to reach Lobos from Lanzarote on this site.
If you would rather stay on Lanzarote’s side of the water, the La Graciosa ferry from Órzola is the northern equivalent.
With five sailings a day each way, it is easy to plan a full day in Corralejo and be back for dinner.
