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 40 minutes. Once disembarked, you'll be free to explore the island's hills and beaches or relax.

Ferry Timetable

Ferry departure times from the Cíes Islands vary by season and may change. You'll find the schedule during booking; 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 it in the comments section when reserving. Camping on the islands requires a permit from the Xunta de Galicia, as we only arrange same-day return authorizations.

Low-Season Guided Tours

In low season (October 1 to May 14), the ticket includes a one-hour tour with an official guide. This guided tour will not take place during Easter (April 11-20, 2025). The guide will accompany you on the boat trip and show you main routes on the islands with explanations about their history and ecology.

Authorization from the Xunta de Galicia

In high season (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'll send it via email promptly. During the rest of the year, the guide will carry 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 and cancel authorizations. If they aren't canceled, the shipping company cannot cancel the boat tickets. If canceled, you must contact the shipping company to cancel your tickets within the refund period.
