It was a great day out. Our guide David was great and made sure to speak both English and Spanish. When we arrived on the island he brought us on a guided tour to the lighthouse. We had plenty of time to sunbathe and swim and also stop for a bite to eat. Overall it was great day and would definitely recommend!!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I had a wonderful time in the Cíes Islands National Park. The tour guide from Santiago de Compostela, Alexis, was phenomenal. He is incredibly knowledgeable and extremely kind. The park guide was also great. Beautiful views. Relaxing.
