Rua & Arenoso Islands are ones of the most beautiful & peculiar islands of the Ría de Arousa in Galicia. This 3-hour boat trip tour will take you to discover their magical corners and the stunning landscapes of Ría de Arousa. Despite both islands are very close to each other, each of them has its unique wildlife, geology, orography and views. This trip will allow you to enjoy the beauty of their contrast.
Rua Island is one of the biggest ones of the Arousa estuary and it is located just at the center of it. Made by giant rocks sculpted by the ocean, weather and tides during the pass of the time, this island has unique rocky beaches with clear waters full of marine life. When visiting this island, a knowledgeable and experienced guide will show you all its natural secrets. You will visit caves and climb up to the tallest point of the island, to contemplate the stunning & unique views that this island offers of the Ría de Arousa's landscape. Once you have visited each corner of the island, it will be time to go back on board and head to Arenoso Island.
Arenoso Island is made by clear sand with sandy beaches & turquoise waters, that will transport you to the Caribbean. This gorgeous island is very fragile and maximum respect to the natural environment is required throughout the visit. This time without guide, you will be able to walk barefoot on the sand and walk along its coastline discovering its unique flora, fauna and lovely beaches. Additionally, the island has some archaeological sites that date back 6,000 years BC, which can be visited during some periods of the year. Restrictions apply during the nesting season of migratory birds, who use the same area where the ruins are.
