• If you are going to use the authorized camping areas, keep in mind that places are limited.
• Once in the islands, go to the Information Booths of the Park, where they will advise you on the possible activities to be carried out, obtaining a better benefit of your stay in this natural space.
• Visit the Interpretation Centers of the Park (Cambón, Cíes Island, and Ons Island) as a reference point for a greater understanding of these islands.
•  Move along only on roads intended for public use (free visiting areas).
• Your safety is our concern, but it is your responsibility. Do not do dangerous activities such as getting too close to the cliffs or swimming when the sea is not calm.
• Silence benefits the fauna and those who enjoy it. Noises (music devices, shouting, etc.) reduce the environmental quality and impede the enjoyment of the sounds of nature, try not to cause noises.
• Complete the itineraries avoiding the large groups.
• Try to drink plenty of fluids; a prolonged sun-exposure, the summer temperatures, and wind can cause dehydration problems. Neither must you forget items such as sunglasses, caps, and sunscreen.
