Panorama of Rodas beach on the Cíes Islands, with turquoise water and anchored boats
Rodas beach joins Monteagudo and Faro islands. The boat drops you right there.

Would you rather get the permit yourself? It is free on the Xunta website, but the National Park daily quota (1,600-1,800 people) runs out before the boats do, and the pre-booking code expires after 2 hours if you do not buy the ticket. Here is the whole procedure.

After the full-day version?

A sailing trip from Vigo: 8 hours, skipper, National Park entry, snorkel and paddle-board gear, a picnic and a drink. ★ 9.3/10.

Real prices

Summer costs more than winter: €27.50 vs €24. Children, €12.
