Boat to Ons Island
At the indicated time we'll set sail by ferry from the port of Baiona in the direction of the National Park of the Atlantic Islands of Galicia.
First of all, we'll sail along the Vigo estuary, where we'll pass by San Martiño, Montefaro and Monteagudo: the three main areas of the Cíes Islands. Although we won't visit this archipelago, you'll be able to see the famous Rodas beach from the boat.
The crossing, which takes around an hour and 15 minutes, will continue in the Pontevedra estuary, where the island of Ons is located. Once we reach our destination, we'll disembark and you'll have the rest of the day free to enjoy its beautiful natural environment.
You can take advantage of your free time to have lunch, relax on its quiet beaches and explore one of its four hiking trails. One of these trails leads to the Ons lighthouse, considered one of the largest in Spain.
Finally, at the time we indicate, we'll meet again at the dock of Ons Island to start the return trip to the port of Baiona.
