The Cies Islands are a must-visit destination in Galicia, known for their stunning natural beauty and opportunities for exploration and relaxation. By taking a sailboat to the islands, you not only get to experience this natural wonder, but also get a taste for what it would be like to be a part of the crew by participating in navigation manoeuvres.

Our captain, Javi, was wonderful. The Cies islands are beautiful. Beware the seagulls!

It didn't match the description. There was no snorkelling or paddle boarding. We also went straight to the main Rodas beach rather than a quieter one. A lot of time was wasted with disembarking. We ended up transferring boats first. I didn't understand why. Also we stopped to get petrol on return.
