    Overview

    Discover the Port from a truly special perspective aboard an elegant sailing boat on the river Douro. This tour offers a relaxing and exclusive experience in a small group, away from the crowds of traditional cruises, allowing you to enjoy the beauty of the city in a quiet and authentic way.

    For about 2 hours, sail through the waters of the Douro while admiring some of the most iconic bridges and the historic landscapes of Porto and V. N. Gaia. Along the route you will have privileged views of the historic centre, the famous wine cellars of Porto and the connection of the river with the Atlantic Ocean.

    Depending on the time you choose, you can enjoy the soft light of the late afternoon or an unforgettable sunset on the sea. To make the moment even more special, you will be welcomed aboard with a welcome drink.

    More than just a boat ride, this is an authentic and memorable experience to relax, take amazing photos and experience the Douro in a unique way.
