Mussel Route Overview

Our catamarans offer you the chance of an unforgettable Mussel Route trip along the Arousa estuary. Departures are from O Grove Port or the island of La Toja and the journey lasts approximately 60-70 minutes.

Along the way, you’ll see how important fishing, shellfishing and aquaculture really is in the Arousa estuary, the largest and most abundant in Galicia.

We’ll visit the mussel, oyster and scallop farms, while watching the fishing boats at work. We’ll also use the glass viewing panels to observe the seabed and the fish that live beneath these farms.

From the boat you’ll see shellfish beds, islets such as “A Figueira”, home to the old medieval fortress called San Sadurniño Tower; the island of Arousa and the Carreirón nature reserve; towns such as Cambados, the Albariño wine capital; and O Grove, a tourism gem with its coastal harbour.

During the journey you’ll be able to savour steamed mussels from the estuary, washed down with water, wine or soft drinks. It's not called the mussel boat for nothing!

If you're wondering what to do in O Grove, this is something you simply cannot miss... Come and join us!
