NAUTILUS
Submarine observatory
Discover the depths of the Ría de Vigo at the Nautilus observatory. You will be able to contemplate the biodiversity of the Rías Baixas. Each visit is unique; you will always be able to see a new aquatic passerby and, with luck, you may spot some rare species.
The Nautilus submarine observatory is part of the Living Ports project, which promotes environmental awareness through workshops and educational activities.
Guided tours
Visits to the submarine observatory are guided, completely free of charge, and have an approximate duration of 30 minutes.
They are intended for school groups and organizations (by reservation) and for the general public (without reservation).
In the event of adverse weather conditions (alerts from the State Meteorological Agency), the observatory will remain closed for the safety of its visitors and staff.
