Discover one of the most beautiful Galician enclaves in northern Spain with this Cies Islands Boat Tour. Enjoy a day in paradise with this ferry transfer from Portonovo!

Cies Islands Boat Tour

If you're in Portonovo and want to explore one of the Galician paradises par excellence, you can't miss the Cíes Islands. At the indicated time, we'll meet at Rúa Rafael Pico where the ferry to the islands departs.

You'll have the whole day to explore this impressive Galician enclave considered to be one of the greatest treasures of Spain. On the Cies Islands, you can go hiking or enjoy its long beaches and crystal clear waters. We recommend visiting Rodas beach, one of the most beautiful in the world.

At 7 pm, after spending an unforgettable day at the Cíes, you'll have to be at the port to return by ferry to Portonovo.

Want to return another day?

If you want to return another day, you must indicate this during the booking process. If you're camping on the islands, you must first obtain authorization from the Galician Government.

Guided tours in low season

In low season (October 1 - May 14), the ticket to the Cíes Islands includes a 1-hour tour with an official guide, as independent visits are prohibited. The guide will accompany you during the boat trip and will show you the main routes upon docking at the Cíes pier, explaining key anecdotes and curiosities about the area.

This visit is not offered during the 10 days of the high season of Holy Week, from the Friday before Easter through Easter Sunday.

Authorization from the Xunta de Galicia

Please note that in high season (May 15 - September 30, and during Easter week), you'll need to bring your own authorization from the Xunta de Galicia to access the Cíes Islands. For the rest of the year, the guide will bring it on the day of the tour.

Authorization for campers

If you decide to stay at a campsite on the Cíes Islands, the campsite must process the authorization. If you wish to cancel, the authorization must be canceled by the campsite first. Once confirmed, contact the shipping company to cancel your boat tickets within the refund period.

Once an authorization is linked to a shipping company, it cannot be transferred to another. Thus, if you cancel your reservation, you must also cancel your authorization.
