We managed to see turtles , dolphins and whales in only two hours (we were told that in 2 hours excursion we will not manage to see whales , but we saw more than one).!.!

  8. Oasis Wildlife Fuerteventura Ticket and Optional Camel Ride

  Make your way to Oasis Wildlife Fuerteventura and journey through some of the most exciting regions of the world. Discover a refuge that enhances the survival of the ecosystem in a real oasis. See striking flora in various parts of the park and at the only botanical garden on the island. Fall in love with tropical succulents and native plants.  Attend the live demonstrations by sea lions, reptiles, birds of prey and parrots and their handlers, and interact with lemurs and sea lions in the water. Nourish yourself at the park's 3 restaurants and enjoy exquisite cuisine in a unique environment. Follow a route through the park to discover some 3,000 animals from 250 different species. Go on a camel safari at the largest camel reserve in Europe, look into the bright eyes of the curious lemurs from Madagascar or get your photo taken with a friendly giraffe.

  2nd visit here. Not as good as before but a good place to visit. Be prepared though, even if you have a printed ticket or an online booking everyone, absolutely everyone still has to queue up to get another ticket to go in and it takes ages. Also the maps are very confusing and it's a very, very big place. So come prepared for walking. On the positive side the animals look well cared for. There are plenty of big restaurants and they are very reasonable prices for food and drink. There ate lots and lots of toilet facilities and they are all spotlessly clean. If you have never been it's well worth a visit.
