Boat Tour with Tasting in the Ría de Arousa: Sail, Discover, and Savor Galicia

If you’re looking for a unique way to explore the coast of Galicia, our boat tour with tasting in the Ría de Arousa is the perfect blend of nature, tradition, and flavor. An experience that goes beyond a simple boat ride: you’ll sail along the coast of Illa de Arousa, visit mussel farms (bateas), and enjoy a curated selection of local gourmet products, all surrounded by spectacular landscapes.

A relaxing, educational, and delicious plan, ideal for couples, families, or groups of friends. 🚤🧀🍷

What’s included in the boat tour with tasting?

This is one of our most complete routes. During the tour, you’ll:

  • Sail along the entire coast of Illa de Arousa.
  • Get a close look at the bateas, platforms where mussels, oysters, and scallops are cultivated.
  • View from the boat the Punta Cabalo lighthouse, the Carreirón Natural Park, and even the Areoso islet.
  • Learn first-hand about sea culture, guided by local experts.

And the most anticipated moment comes halfway through the route: we anchor in a quiet area of the estuary and… the tasting begins! 😋

The tasting: 100% local flavors

Onboard we serve a carefully selected tasting menu with local products:

  • Premium quality Galician canned seafood (mussels, cockles, sardines…)
  • Albariño wine from nearby wineries in Cambados
  • Bread and appetizers prepared by local producers

We work with family-run businesses and promote zero-kilometer products, such as the artisanal preserves from Mejillones Rosa de los Vientos and albariño wine from the Paco & Lola winery, to ensure quality and sustainability.

If you’re vegetarian, have allergies or special dietary needs, let us know when booking so we can adapt the menu.

✅ We work with local suppliers who are committed to responsible practices and ecological products.

✅ We raise awareness among participants about the importance of preserving marine biodiversity and the estuary’s ecosystem.
