Ferry Details

At your selected time, make your way to the port in Vigo to board the ferry to the Cíes Islands. The trip takes 40 minutes. Upon disembarkation, you can explore the island's hills and beaches or relax.

Ferry Timetable

Ferry departure times from the Cíes Islands vary by season and are subject to change. The schedule will be provided during booking, and your specific return time will be confirmed as close to your original choice as possible.

Return on a Different Day

If returning on a different day, indicate this in the comments section during 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 (October 1 to May 14), the ticket to the Cíes Islands includes a one-hour tour with an official guide, as self-guided visits are prohibited during this time. This guided tour does not occur during Easter as that period is high season.

Authorization from the Xunta de Galicia

In high season (May 15 to September 30 and Easter), you must bring your own authorization from the Xunta de Galicia to access the Cíes Islands. We will send it to you by email promptly; during the rest of the year, the guide will bring it on the day of the tour.

Authorization for Campers

If staying at a campsite in the Cíes, the campsite must process and cancel the authorizations. If not canceled, the shipping company cannot refund boat tickets. Once authorizations are linked to a shipping company, they cannot be transferred. If canceled, new authorizations must be processed.

Contact the shipping company for ticket cancellations within the established refund period after campsite confirmation of authorization cancelation.
