On this excursion to the Ons and Sálvora islands, we'll set sail from Portonovo on the estuaries of Pontevedra and Arosa towards these two enclaves of the National Park of the Atlantic Islands of Galicia.
Ons & Sálvora Islands Day Trip
At the indicated time, we'll depart by ferry from the Portonovo dock towards the National Park of the Atlantic Islands of Galicia.
After 35 minutes of sailing on the Pontevedra estuary, we'll arrive at Ons Island. Once we disembark, you'll have 3.5 hours of free time in this enclave of crystal-clear waters.
You can take advantage of your free time to relax on its spectacular beaches, have a picnic with the food you brought with you, or stroll along the island's trails. One of the best paths is the one that leads to the lighthouse of Ons. Did you know that it's one of the largest in Spain?
After free time on Ons, we'll meet again at the pier of the island to continue sailing. This time, we'll sail for 35 minutes towards the Arosa estuary, where Sálvora Island is located.
Due to the protected nature of the enclave, where only certain paths are allowed, we'll walk with a guide along the paths of Sálvora. On this route, we'll see the famous sculpture of the mermaid, the hermitage, and the lighthouse of the island. At the end of the visit to Sálvora, we'll return to the ferry to sail back to the island of Ons, where we'll pickup other passengers.
Finally, at 7:30 pm we'll set sail from the dock of Ons Island back to the starting point in Portonovo.
