  • Bayona
Includes meal, Moderate activity

Be sure to read the Special Notes further down this page for important requirements and restriction.

Experience Galicia's bounty by land and sea during a full-day excursion that begins with appetizers on a catamaran ride around the Bay of Vigo and ends with lunch in the medieval village of Bayona. After your captain casts off you'll slowly make your way into the Bay of Vigo. During your cruise you'll be treated to a sampling of mussels accompanied by a large savory pie and a glass of local Albariño white wine. Once your boat moors in Bayona you'll walk to the Parador Conde de Gondomar-a medieval fortress built atop a rocky promontory. Now a renowned resort, the fortress is a perfect setting for your three-course lunch. At the conclusion of your meal you'll have free time to wander around the town or do a little shopping before rejoining your catamaran for the cruise back to Vigo.

Special Notes:

Bookings for this tour must be confirmed at least 48 hours in advance.

There is a short walk from the pier (approx. 3 minutes) to the catamaran plus a slight uphill walk (approx. 10 minutes) to reach the lunch venue. Passengers may opt out of the guided walk in Bayona and have free time instead.

A light jacket is recommended for the boat ride.
