Excellent day out
Overall rating

I took my Daughter with me and we had an excellent day out, we went on a Tuesday, and again on the Thursday. We got the coach from outside the Barcelo in Caleta and got dropped back there early evening. The staff were very friendly and helpful, on both boats, on the way to Lanzarote you get a great view of the small Island of Los Lobos which I'm sure I will visit one day. On the Thursday my daughter was in a wheelchair and it wasn't a problem at all, the staff couldn't have been more helpful if they tried.
There was a free buffet on the glass bottom boat (chicken, chips, various salads, bread, crisps etc) with unlimited beer, sangria, soft drinks, tea, coffee, water, juice etc, throughout the trip. When the boat anchors in the bay they take those who want to go to the beach by boat, and bring them back a couple of hours later at no extra cost.
There's plenty of fish to be seen both from the boat and in the water, there was bread on the back of the boat in a bucket, just throw some in and you will see. if there's no bread don't be afraid to ask as they are very friendly and helpful. Also there's masks, and snorkels available at no extra cost, if swimming watch the tide as it can be quite strong at times. For those more daring it's not a problem to dive off the top of the boat (ask them to open a gate if they haven't already done so), which is nice and refreshing once you've baked in the sun for an hour or so.
When you arrive in Lanzarote, both on the way there, and on the way back you have around 45 minutes to go for a beer or coffee and browse the gift shops.
Just take a towel, and plenty of sun protection, and take some stale bread to feed the fish at Corralejo where you get on the boat.
Highly recommended!
