Necessary Documentation
The island of Ons is a protected area with a daily quota of visitors, and in order to be able to travel to it it is necessary to obtain an authorisation from the Xunta de Galicia, which will be processed by the local provider. Once the authorisation has been processed, you will receive it by e-mail. It is essential that you bring it with you, as well as this voucher.
If for any reason any of you cannot attend the activity, you must give at least 15 days' notice and indicate the name and surname of the person who will be absent so that the Xunta de Galicia can remove him/her from the list.

We will send it to you by email as soon as possible. The rest of the year, we won't send it to you, as it will be the guide themselves who will bring it on the day of the tour.
