Ferry to the Cies Islands

The Cíes Islands are a natural paradise off the Galician coast that any visitor to the area simply can't miss! Enjoy a day in this natural park with a return ferry to the Cies Islands from Vigo. And don't worry about the permit, it's included!

Ferry Details

At your selected time, make your way to the port in Vigo to board the ferry that will take you to the Cíes Islands. The trip will take you just 40 minutes. Once you've disembarked, you'll have the opportunity to explore the island's hills and beaches, or relax in the sun.

Ferry Timetable

Ferry departure times from the Cíes Islands vary by season and may change. You'll find the schedule when making your booking, and we'll confirm your specific return time as close to your original choice as possible.

Return on a Different Day

If you'd like to return on a different day, please indicate so in the comments section when making your reservation. To camp on the islands, you must obtain the relevant permit from the Xunta de Galicia, as we only arrange authorizations for same-day returns.

Low-Season Guided Tours

In low season (between October 1 and May 14), the ticket to the Cíes Islands includes a one-hour tour with an official guide, since it's prohibited to visit the islands independently during this period. This guided tour will not take place during Easter (April 11-20, 2025), which is high season.

The guide will accompany you on the boat trip from the departure port and show you the main routes on the islands, providing information about the history and wildlife of this Galician archipelago.

Authorization from the Xunta de Galicia

In high season (from May 15 to September 30 and Easter), you'll need to bring your own authorization from the Xunta de Galicia to access the Cíes Islands. We will send it to you by email as soon as possible. During the rest of the year, the guide will carry it on the day of the tour.

Authorization for Campers

If you stay at a campsite in the Cíes, the campsite must process and cancel the authorizations. If they are not canceled, the shipping company cannot proceed to cancel the boat tickets. Once associated with a shipping company, authorizations cannot be linked to another; if canceled, they must be re-processed.

If the campsite confirms cancellation of your authorization, you must contact the shipping company to cancel your boat tickets within the refund period.
