Lobos - only 200 visitors at the same time

[MB30]

Good plan La Oliva, keep Lobos special for people who enjoy its lack of facilities and beauty.

That is going to create one hell of a queue at the docks though isn’t it !! They will either have to limit the number of boats leaving Corri or limit the numbers docking, either way gonna be some angry punters. IMO

I predict that the cost of a trip over will multiple by a factor of about 10!!!!

Perhaps you've just explained why it's necessary, Spitfire68.

Wasn’t saying anything about whether it was necessary or not waggy. Haven’t been up there so no clue. 
What I was getting at was it was going to take some planning to avoid a fiasco. 
There must be a multitude of boats up there doing organised trips plus any & all day boaters/jet skiers/kayakers etc. 
Hell of a lot of planning or angry people

The Cabildo of Fuerteventura enables a web page for reservations to be made in two shifts and with a limit of 200 people in each

During the first fifteen days the permit issuance system will work in test mode to access the Natural Park

The Cabildo of Fuerteventura informs that, starting next January 15, anyone interested in visiting the Islote de Lobos Natural Park must previously request an authorization through an online permit issuance system, through the link https://permissiondevisitaisladelobos.entrees.es or the Environment area of the Cabildo website, www.cabildofuer.es.

In accordance with the Master Plan for the Use and Management of Islote de Lobos, depending on the characteristics of the environment, the carrying capacity of this natural space must be limited to 200 simultaneous visitors. To meet the permitted capacity, the Cabildo has established this system online.

According to the president of the Cabildo, Marcial Morales, "compliance with the regulations of the Master Plan for the Use and Management of Islote de Lobos requires this type of measure that makes it possible to combine the full enjoyment of the natural area with its correct preservation".

The Minister of Environment, Natalia Évora, emphasizes that "during the first fifteen days, that is, until January 30, we will find ourselves in a provisional trial period, with the aim of resolving the small incidents that may occur in the system".

The ticket can be obtained only three days before the scheduled date of the visit. Each visitor may request permission for up to three people per day and time slot, establishing a morning schedule from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. (200 concurrent visitors) and an afternoon schedule from 2 p.m. to 6 p.m. (200 concurrent visitors).

In the authorization, the identification data of the visitor (name, surname, ID, passport), the date of the visit and the chosen time will be collected. Once the data and the number of permits you wish to obtain have been entered, the user will access a link where you can download the authorizations, which will also be sent to the email.

For its part, the validation of the permits will be carried out by personnel of the managing body in the Islote de Lobos Natural Park. The authorization can be presented in print or with the QR code on any mobile phone. The Island Corporation also reminds that people who do not have the corresponding permit or exceed the time limit are exposed to the corresponding penalty.

A link to request the cancellation of the permit is also available to users, through https://entrees.es/solicitud_de_devolucion.

At the time of posting this I have not been able to access the ticket request link or see anything other than proposal docs on the Cabildo site - presumably it will go live on 12th Jan, 3 days before the first ticket date.

I wonder how tourists will know about booking in advance online?  I wonder if the boat companies will do it for them?

[TamaraEnLaPlaya]

But the notice says you can only book for up to 3 people at a time …….. be interesting to see how it works out.
15th Jan might be a good time to go to the island - I reckon it will be the quietest it's been for years!

[Archer]

The boat co's won't be able to block book places, as they will need each passengers' ID or Passport details.
Should be pretty quiet, until the system changes. Just locals and those in the know!
But then again, that was the objective.

[TamaraEnLaPlaya]

Well, the booking site has gone live! As at 8.50am it was saying 'The deadline for the sale of this event is over'!! Either it hasn't actually started or lots of people were up early and booking or, the tour people have found a way to block book the lot!! Looks like my idea of going on the 15th is a non starter .
