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 Cíes 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 40 minutes.

Once disembarked, you can 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. The schedule will be provided during booking. We will 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 during your reservation. For camping 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. This guided tour will not take place during Easter (April 11-20, 2025), considered high season.

The guide accompanies you during the boat trip from the port. Upon docking at the Cíes pier, the guide will show the main routes and share anecdotes and information about the history and wildlife of the archipelago.

Authorization from the Xunta de Galicia

In high season (from May 15 to September 30 and Easter), you must bring your own authorization from the Xunta de Galicia to access the islands. This will be emailed to you as soon as possible. During the rest of the year, the guide will bring it on the day of the tour.

Authorization for Campers

If you choose to stay at a campsite in the Cíes, the campsite itself must process the authorizations and cancellations. If not canceled, the shipping company cannot proceed to cancel boat tickets. Once authorizations are associated with a shipping company, they cannot be linked to another, and cancellations must be processed as new.

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