Take this amazing return ferry trip from Bueu to the island of Ons, a unique natural enclave in the Rias Bajas. Experience a day surrounded by nature while you relax on a beach with crystal clear waters and enjoy the island's delicious gastronomy.

Ons Island Boat Trip

From Bueu you'll take a ferry to the island of Ons, located in the Natural Park of the Atlantic Islands. The sea and the mountains lie side by side on this island which has been inhabited since prehistoric times.

On your arrival, you can walk along the beaches and relax while admiring the landscapes. The adventurous can embark on a hiking route (not included). You can choose how to spend the day and consider enjoying some of the island's traditional gastronomy, such as the famous Ons octopus (food not included).

You'll notice the architecture of Ons, which combines the features of a typical Galician coastal town with the island's landscape. You can also interact with locals in the bustling restaurants and stores in this natural enclave.

Authorization to visit Ons Island

The island of Ons is a protected area with a daily quota of visitors. To visit, you must obtain authorization from the Xunta de Galicia. In high season (from 15 May to 15 September and at Easter), you must bring your own authorization, which we will send to you by email. The rest of the year, the guide will bring it on the day of the tour. If someone cannot attend, you must give at least 15 days' notice and provide their name so the Xunta de Galicia can remove them from the list.

Guided tour of Ons Island

From 1 October to 14 May (excluding the Friday before Easter to Easter Sunday), the ferry ticket includes a one-hour guided tour of the island of Ons.
