Description

Context This dual-seat water motorcycle tour explores the Ría de Arousa, the largest of Galicia’s rías, renowned for its exceptional marine biodiversity and scenic coastal landscapes. The journey centers on Areoso Island, a small, protected sandy islet accessible only by water, with significant ecological and archaeological value. The 80-minute ride offers a gentle, immersive experience with direct contact with the sea, combining natural beauty and coastal adventure.

The Experience The tour begins with a safety briefing and equipment distribution. You then share control of the water motorcycle with a companion, feeling the salty wind and the rhythmic sounds of the engine and waves. After navigating the ría, you stop for a swim in the clear waters of Areoso Island, walking barefoot on soft sand while the scent of pine trees fills the air. The return journey concludes under the guidance of a qualified monitor.

For Whom Perfect for couples or small groups with moderate physical ability, no prior water motorcycle experience required, seeking an active, nature-immersive adventure. Not suitable for children under 8 years as passengers, nor for individuals with limited mobility without special adaptations.

Local Context The Ría de Arousa is a region with deep-rooted fishing traditions and rich gastronomic culture, where local communities continue to sustain maritime and cultural life. Though small, Areoso Island is an integral part of this natural and social network, offering sanctuary to wildlife and a peaceful retreat for nature lovers who value protected environments.
