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 to the Cíes Islands. The trip takes 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, 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 this in the comments section when making your reservation. To camp on the islands, you need to 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, as independent visiting is prohibited. The guide accompanies you from the port and shows the main routes upon arrival, sharing anecdotes about the history and flora and fauna of the archipelago. This guided tour will not occur during Easter.

Authorization from the Xunta de Galicia

During 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. We will email it as soon as possible. The guide will bring it during the rest of the year.

Authorization for Campers

Campsites in the Cíes must process their own authorizations. If not canceled, the shipping company cannot cancel the boat tickets. Authorizations can only be linked to one shipping company, necessitating new ones if canceled.

After campsite confirmation of authorization cancellation, contact the shipping company to cancel your boat tickets within the established refund period.
