Ferry to the Cies Islands

The Cíes Islands are a natural paradise off the Galician coast that any visitor to the area cannot miss. Enjoy a day in this natural park with a return ferry to the Cíes Islands from Vigo, with the permit included.

Ferry Details

At your selected time, head to the port in Vigo to board the ferry to the Cíes Islands, a remarkable natural park. The trip duration is 40 minutes.

Once disembarked, you are free to explore the island's hills and beaches or relax in the sun. The archipelago features hiking trails and stunning bays.

Ferry Timetable

Ferry departure times from the Cíes Islands vary by season and may change. The schedule will be available during booking, and we will confirm your specific return time as close to your initial choice as possible.

Return on a Different Day

If you wish to return on a different day, please specify in the comments section when reserving. You need to obtain a permit from the Xunta de Galicia for camping on the islands, as we only arrange authorizations for same-day returns.

Low-Season Guided Tours

During low season (October 1 to May 14), the ticket includes a one-hour tour with an official guide. This tour is not available during Easter (April 11-20, 2025) as it’s considered high season.

The guide will accompany you during the boat trip and show you main routes at the Cíes pier, providing insights about the history and natural environment.

Authorization from the Xunta de Galicia

In high season (May 15 to September 30 and Easter), you must bring your own authorization from Xunta de Galicia for access to the Cíes Islands. This will be emailed to you promptly. For the rest of the year, the guide will manage it.

Authorization for Campers

If staying at a campsite in the Cíes, the campsite processes and cancels authorizations. Unauthorized cancellations will prevent the shipping company from canceling boat tickets.

Once authorizations are linked to a shipping company, they cannot be reassigned. If canceled, they must be newly processed for future use. Contact the shipping company for boat ticket cancellations within the established refund period if the campsite confirms the authorization cancellation.
