How to get to the Cíes Islands campsite
Sleeping on the Cíes Islands is one of the most special experiences you can have in Galicia. As it is a protected area within the Maritime-Terrestrial National Park of the Atlantic Islands of Galicia, access is regulated and it is only possible to reach them by sea.
If you're wondering how to get to the Cíes Islands campsite, this guide will show you all the steps you need to plan your trip without complications.
The Cíes Islands campsite is only accessible by boat
The campsite is located on Faro Island, a short walk from Rodas Pier, so the only way to get there is by taking an authorized boat from the Galician coast. The campsite is open during the authorized season and allows you to bring your own tent or stay in pre-erected tents.
First step: book your spot at the campsite
Before buying the boat tickets, you must have a reservation at the campsite.
Once the reservation is confirmed, the campsite itself processes the necessary application to access the National Park, providing the code that will later allow you to purchase the boat tickets.
Second step: buy the boat tickets
With the authorization now available, you can book the ferry that will take you to the Cíes Islands.
