Boat Journey & Mussel Tasting on the Pontevedra Estuary

At the appointed time, our meeting point will be the port in Combarro, where your cruise on the Pontevedra estuary awaits aboard a modern vessel equipped with an underwater viewing area. This feature allows you to explore the captivating marine ecosystem thriving beneath the water's surface.

As we navigate through the estuary, you will observe numerous wooden structures called 'bateas'. Curious about their purpose? This boat ride will reveal the secrets behind these fascinating platforms!

Midway through our voyage, keep an eye out for Tambo Island, situated centrally in the estuary. This quaint isle features remnants from Iron Age settlements. While aboard, marvel at the well-known lighthouse, recognized for its distinctive spiral staircase.

Our expedition will also provide insights into the cultivation processes of mussels, oysters, and scallops—exquisite Galician specialties—found in this region.

To conclude our delightful cruise, we will indulge in a tasting of mussels paired with local Galician wine before heading back to the port of Combarro. A perfect ending to a memorable experience!
