Douro Solar River Cruise Tour

  • 11 reviews | 119 travellers
    The tour was EXCELLENT. The solar boat was beautiful, and it was lovely to sail in that environment and in silence (not to mention how eco-friendly it is). Both the guide and the driver were very attentive and friendly. They explained everything and answered all our questions in both English and Spanish. It's a pleasure to take such beautiful tours through the scenery, especially when they are so well organized. They also offered us glasses of wine and suggested some things to do in the area. 1000 points. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED, don't miss it!

Douro River Cruise Tour

At the indicated time, we'll meet at the Rua da Praia de Pinhão dock to board a solar boat and enjoy a wonderful cruise along the Douro River.

As we sail, we'll navigate around Romaneira Point as we soak up the landscapes of the centennial vineyards that make up this area. We'll marvel at the walls of tall rock formations as some of the region's most important vineyards come into sight.

Throughout the trip, we'll enjoy a tasting of two wines produced at Adega de Favaios, one of the main wineries in this area of northern Portugal. During the tasting, accompanied by almonds, we'll learn how the wines of the Douro Valley are produced. If you wish, you can opt for fresh grape juice.

Lastly, we'll return to the departure dock to, ending the activity 1 hour later.
