The Arousa Estuary boat tour with mussel tasting is a quintessential Rías Baixas experience, combining coastal scenery, mussel farming rafts, local produce and a leisurely trip around the estuary.
Why take a boat tour on the estuary

Mussel farming rafts are floating structures used to grow mussels and other seafood. Seeing them up close helps explain why mussels are so important in Galician cuisine.
