AUTHORIZATION OF XUNTA DE GALICIA

, This new rule ensures that the limit of 1,300 authorised visitors per day to Ons Island and 1,800 authorised visitors to the Cíes Islands is observed, which helps to keep a balanced number of visitors so as to protect the ecosystem.

The only way to get to Ons Island is by boat and you can use the regular ferry service at Easter, weekends in June, and every day from 1 July to 15 September. The rest of the year, excursions and guided visits are run and there are also trips available for individuals who want to explore this protected island with our guides. That’s why if you’re travelling outside of the regular service period it’s important to check our website for any available journeys outside of the summer months.

Every user can book a maximum of 10 places per request. The details of each visitor to the island must be provided, so you will need to enter the names, surnames, ID document numbers, sex, and date of birth of each passenger.

This permit is unique and non-transferable, as it has a QR code, permit number, date, and the name and surnames of the visitor.

Once you have obtained the permit code from the Regional Government (this is called the pre-booking code as it is a provisional code that is only valid for two hours), you can use it to buy your boat ticket on our website for the day you want to visit Ons Island.

After purchasing your boarding ticket from Mar de Ons, you will receive an email that contains both confirmation of the ticket purchase and all the details of your trip and the definitive permit that allows you to land on Ons Island on the day you have chosen.

Make sure to save the permit till the day of your journey, as you will have to show it before you board or when you reach the island. Likewise, we recommend you arrive at our ticket offices 30 minutes before the boat sails to print your ferry ticket. Please remember you need to print your tickets in our ticket offices in order to travel.
