Crossings, however short, are made enjoyable by the facilities on board, including even a bar/cafeteria and indoor and outdoor lounges from which to admire the view.
Not all boats are suitable for transporting disabled passengers, so we recommend checking and booking your ticket early (contact us for more information).
💡 What to know before booking

It is important to know that in order to reach the Cíes Islands and Ons Island during high season periods, an access permit issued by the Xunta de Galicia is required, which restricts the number of visitors in order to preserve their natural riches, see Mar de Ons transport conditions here.
