Take the opportunity to take this small two-hour cruise in the heart of the Douro.
The program begins at the Pinhão quay, where you will have the opportunity to board one of the most famous boats in the Douro – the Rabelo Boat. This Portuguese vessel used to transport the Port Wine barrels that were sold to other countries.
You will thus have a very traditional and 100% Douro experience. Take the opportunity to enjoy a section of the river that does not have access through national roads. Enjoy the movement of the waters of the Douro River while sailing to the mouth of the Tua River.
The cruise will continue on its way back to Pinhão. Take the opportunity to observe the green landscapes and sharpen all your senses while you are surrounded by nature.
So that you can learn more about the region, you will be entitled to an individual audio guide that will show you the little treasures that you observe during the trip.
The experience comes to an end when you dock at Pinhão Quay, but you can still take the opportunity to explore this small town full of history.
