About this experience
Far from the rough waters of the Douro and mass tourism, this experience allows contact with the Douro River, privileging nature. Lunch is served in a century-old house, a small, rustic and welcoming space with high quality products. Enjoy a typically Portuguese meal accompanied by regional wines. Taking advantage of the small tributary rivers of the Douro, it is also possible to dive and swim in warm and absolutely calm waters, in the same way as it is possible to explore its banks using our "Stand-Up-Paddle". The landscapes and the opportunity to spend a day in direct contact with the waters of the river, savoring the best of Portuguese cuisine, are one of the best experiences you can take away from your visit to Porto and Portugal. The boat trip thus becomes a unique and unforgettable experience, ideal for a small group or a family.
