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!

Boat Tour Details

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. On the Cies Islands, you can go hiking or enjoy its long beaches and crystal clear waters. We recommend visiting Rodas Beach.

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

Want To Return Another Day?

If you want to return another day, indicate this during the booking process. Camping on the islands requires authorization from the Galician Government.

Guided Tours in Low Season

In low season (October 1 - May 14), the ticket includes a 1-hour tour with an official guide, as visiting the islands independently is prohibited. The guide will accompany you during the boat trip and show you the main routes upon docking. They will share anecdotes and curiosities about the islands.

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

Authorization From the Xunta de Galicia

In high season (May 15 - September 30, and during Easter week), you need authorization from the Xunta de Galicia to access the Cíes Islands. We'll send it to you by email when applicable. During the rest of the year, the guide will bring it on the day of the tour.

Authorization for Campers

If you stay at a campsite on the Cíes Islands, the campsite must process the authorization. Cancelations must also be handled by the campsite. Once an authorization is associated with a shipping company, it cannot be linked to another company. Canceling a reservation requires processing a new authorization.

Included

  • Round–trip ferry between Portonovo and the Cies Islands
  • Processing of the Cíes Islands access permit from the Xunta de Galicia
  • Guided tour (only from October 1–May 14, except during Easter Week)
