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.
A sailing trip from Vigo: 8 hours, skipper, National Park entry, snorkel and paddle-board gear, a picnic and a drink. ★ 9.3/10.
The campsite has its own allocation: still available when the day quota is full.
