What You’ll See on This Tour Along the Coast of Illa de Arousa
During this approximately 1 hour and 20 minute journey, you’ll discover some of the island’s most iconic spots:
🦪 Mussel Bateas
Surrounding the island, you’ll see traditional bateas, floating platforms used for mussel farming. Our guides will explain how this star of Galician cuisine is cultivated—a key part of the local economy.
🗼 Punta Cabalo Lighthouse
One of the most photogenic moments of the tour: the Punta Cabalo Lighthouse. Built in the 19th century, it stands on a rocky outcrop offering spectacular views of the estuary. Today, it also houses a restaurant, but from the sea you’ll enjoy its full beauty. 📸

🌿 Carreirón Natural Park
On the southern side of the island, we’ll sail along the Carreirón Natural Park, a protected area home to migratory birds and native flora. The peace here is truly special.
