What To Expect
Douro River
During the tour, you will have the opportunity to visit the most emblematic areas of both cities, from the sea. Some of the iconic elements you will view are the Wine Caves, the Ouro Street, Clerics Church, the Rabelo Boats (used to carry the wine barrels from the north of the river) and also the Douro Estuary, a protected area with a lot of wildlife.
Douro Marina
Douro Marina opened to public in February 2012. Altogether, the work corresponded to an investment of 8.5 million euros, 2.5 million of which were allocated to floating equipment. The dock has the capacity to accommodate 300 vessels, up to 20 meters. The port has an area for boat repair and maintenance, shops, restaurants and some companies related to water sports.

5.00We love the experience. So far it's the highlight of our trip. Very relaxing and beautiful sunset while cruising in a beautiful boat. The port wine was awesome. We love it's a smaller crowd, only 4 other people where we were sitting. There were a few others on top of the boat.
