When summer arrives in Galicia, there is a plan that never fails: let yourself be carried away by the sea. If you are looking for different ideas for your vacations or getaways, Piratas de Nabia makes it easy for you. From Vigo, Cangas, Moaña, Bueu or Portonovo you can embark to some of the most spectacular natural jewels of the Galician coast.
Whether you want to relax on a paradisiacal beach, explore islands full of history or enjoy a gastronomic experience in the middle of the estuary, these are the routes and destinations you can’t miss this summer with Piratas de Nabia:
Cíes Islands: paradise within Galicia
They are part of the Parque Nacional Marítimo-Terrestre das Illas Atlánticas de Galicia and are, without a doubt, one of the great treasures of the Rías Baixas. Its white sand beaches and crystal clear waters, such as the famous Playa de Rodas, have been recognized among the most beautiful in the world.
With Pirates of Nabia you can arrive from various ports and choose whether you want to spend a day on the islands or even camping for several days.

Ons Island: nature, trails and gastronomy
Off the coast of Bueu is another jewel of the National Park: the island of Ons, perfect
for a getaway with friends, as a couple or with the family.
Its hiking trails, its history linked to smuggling and its quiet beaches make this island a versatile and fascinating destination.
In addition, in Ons you can sleep inside the National Park in the camping Isla de Ons, a unique and sustainable experience.
If you are more of a room person, you can stay at Casa Acuña. Also, if you like good food, be sure to try the famous octopus Ons style of Casa Acuña.

San Simón Island: history in the middle of the estuary
Not all islands are beaches and trails. San Simón, located in the Vigo estuary, is a place full of history and emotions. Former monastery, lazaretto and Franco’s prison, today it is presented as a cultural space where silence and landscape invite reflection.

Mussel Route: a taste of the sea, a taste of Galicia
One of the most original activities of Piratas de Nabia. Sail along the Vigo estuary and sail next to a batea, the traditional mussel cultivation platforms, where you will learn all about this star product of Galician gastronomy.
And the best part: during the crossing you will be able to taste steamed mussels and Galician DO wine, with explanations on board about the cultivation, the local economy and the natural environment.
- Departures from: Cangas and Vigo
- Available throughout the summer

Sálvora Island: legends and wild nature
Less known, but just as magical, the island of Sálvora is part of the National Park and is ideal for those looking for a different getaway, with less crowded routes and an almost mystical atmosphere.
The excursion with Pirates of Nabia includes a guided tour to learn about its history – with legends of mermaids included – and enjoy unspoiled beaches and trails surrounded by nature in its purest form. In addition, in July and August we have the special route “2 islands in one day” to know Sálvora and Ons Island.
