Embarking on a private walking tour of Cies Islands offers an unparalleled experience. Your adventure commences with a ferry journey from the tranquil shallows of Vigo's bay, leading you to the spectacular National Park.
The Cies Islands are made up of three primary islands: Monteagudo (North Island), Faro (Middle Island) and San Martiño (South Island). Due to strict conservation measures, access to San Martiño is limited, allowing you to explore only Monteagudo and Faro. Upon reaching your destination, you'll have the opportunity to set foot on Rodas Beach, hailed as the world's best by a renowned international newspaper. With its fine, golden sand and crystal clear waters reminiscent of the Caribbean, it's a sight to behold - though beware, the waters can be quite chilly!
There's plenty more to uncover about these tropical-like islands, including their diverse flora and fauna, rich history, iconic lighthouses, and the lagoon. The tour will delve into various topics such as: the impact of tides on the National Park's biodiversity, maritime history, human settlements, invasions, and cultural heritage tied to the sea, fishing as an economic activity, conservation efforts and challenges faced by the archipelago.
