ACCESS MADE SIMPLE

Operator manages your island access

HASSLE-FREE DAYTRIP

Relaxed arrival and supervised presence

What the day feels like

What the outing feels like

The day is compact and deliberate: a short visit to the ticket office at the marina, an embarkation aboard a fast launch that offers cushioned seating, several hours to roam the Cíes, then a timed return — all delivered within a six-hour round trip so the logistics are handled for you.

Suitability

Who it's for

Who this service suits — and the single key caveat.

1
Day-trippers who want convenienceIdeal if you want a single, managed outing to the Cíes with logistics handled for you; bear in mind high-season limits and book ahead.
2
Visitors planning summer travelGood for those visiting in July and August but you must reserve with plenty of lead time because access is limited.
3
Flexible plannersA sensible choice if you can choose your preferred departure/return within the available schedules and book early to guarantee space.
4
Last-minute bookersNot ideal — because availability is constrained in peak months, last-minute reservations may not be possible.
