Going out into the Rias with Gabriel in his boat makes you understand why seafood costs what it costs. The 2.5 hr trip takes you to the mussel farms (there are thousands . . . many in the same family for generations) to watch how they harvest. Similarly there were 30-40 small craft scraping clams from the seabed using very long-handled shovels and dozens of women in wading boots (in very cold water) digging for razor clams. Hard, hard work. Gabriel’s English was limited, but we managed to learn a great deal. This would be a great trip for children so they can see what working for a living really means. Meeting up was a little tricky. The wharf they show on their web site (unless they’ve changed it recently) is not where we were to meet. The there is no signage at the correct what. The trip for the 2 of us was 90€ (it would be less if more people sign up). It was raining lightly and about 58º when we went out, but we dressed with several layers and a poncho so we were fine - I think they were surprised we didn’t cancel!…

We loved our boat excursion with these brilliant professionals!! You Really feel safe with them, lovely spacious new well maintainted boat, excellent commentary, We were with 2 baby buggies, which were no problem for them either, so helpful and nice!! We went around the mussels farms, past the magic island and onto our destination of Islote Areoso - tiny amazing Carribbean like deserted island with white sands and clear waters. We had a fab Picnic there, kids loved being Robinson Crusos, and they Amare picked us up again right On time! And Great prices too - just €20 return for adults! Definitely recommend It and will return soon, hopefully!!…
