★★★★★★★★★★4.7 · 845 reviews · 1h 15m · from $23

From O Grove, a Spanish-speaking guide takes you across the Ría de Arousa to working bateas, where mussels, oysters, and scallops grow. You’ll see the seabed through underwater windows, then eat steamed mussels with wine, water, or a soft drink.

“We had a great time on the boat. Loads of freshly cooked mussels, wine, soft drinks and a very pleasant cruise around the mussel farms. It was especially good due to the great crowd of people we were lucky to be with, who were all having a good time too, signing along to all the Spanish tunes that were playing on the way back to port. Even some dancing. Top day out.”

5.Snorkeling on Lobos Island & Return Ferry Ticket

★★★★★★★★★★4.6 · 769 reviews · 1 day · from $31

Take the family-run Barco Majorero from Corralejo to Lobos Island, then join a 10-minute coastal cruise and 25-minute snorkel near El Puertito. You can hike to La Caldera or the lighthouse before choosing a return ferry. Pablo, Susanna, and Danny have helped make the day run smoothly.

“It was very nice! The boat trips from and to Lobos went smoothly and were punctual as well. The directions to get our tickets and explanation about the schedule/how to find our way around the island were also helpful and clear. The snorkeling activity was really amazing! The staff threw break near the boat which attracted lots of fish, and you also had the opportunity to jump of the side of the boat! Overall it was a fun experience and definitely worth the price. The beach on Lobos was also great, we also recommend taking a stroll around the island!”

7.Desde Corralejo: Lobos Island Ferry with Optional Transfer

★★★★★★★★★★4.6 · 586 reviews · 1 day · from $20

I recommend this simple day trip if you want freedom rather than a guided tour.

“Just the standard ferry crossing. no issues. return ferry booked when in outbound queue so ge there early to make sure you get to choose your time. saw a sea turtle from top deck which was a highlight. gladsbottom boat for people wanting to see beneath the waves which was nice but li.ited seating.”

11.Helicopter Flight & Heliport Boat Transfer

★★★★★★★★★★4.7 · 423 reviews · 1 hour · from $159

Take a short helicopter flight above Barcelona’s coast, port, Old Town, Olympic Port, and Gaudí landmarks, then return with a flight video. The optional 15-minute boat transfer from Port Vell gives you a scenic start and avoids a taxi ride to the heliport.

“The ride was too short but the views were extraordinary. It wasn’t clear for me that they had different tours (one that takes you inside the city and another that is just on the coast), an upgrade on site was unfortunately not possible due to the flight plans. It would be best to add a picture of the different routes here so it is more clear.”
