Overview

Sail on a unique river in the heart of the oldest demarcated wine region in the world and also a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

Depart from Pinhão, passing under the Eiffel iron bridge, and head towards the Roncão area, where you will turn around to return to Pinhão.

Along the way, gaze down the hills of terraced vineyards to the river, without passing through national highways and without encountering any traffic in sight. Although you will follow the same route there and back, the impression will be that you have taken two different paths, since the views provided and the landmarks seen are completely different. Traditional rabelo boats have open and closed areas, so navigation will be completely comfortable in all types of weather, all year round.

We ask that you download our audio guide before boarding and bring your own headphones for a smoother experience.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    (8)

    Q: Will I get seasick on 1-Hour Rabelo Boat Trip in Pinhão?

    A: If you have any doubts about becoming seasick on the water, we recommend taking a Dramamine® Motion Sickness Relief tablet the night before your trip. Some people recommend taking it the night before your cruise and then again that morning so you will not feel so drowsy. Read more Feb 2023

    City Boat Tours wants to make your searches as relevant as possible. That's why we offer many ways to help you find the right experiences for you.

    On some pages, you can select how to sort the results we display and also use filter options to see only those search results that meet your chosen preferences. You'll see explanations of what those sort options mean when you select them.

    If you see a Badge of Excellence label, the award is based on average review ratings, share of bookings with a review, and number of bookings through City Boat Tours over a 12-month period.

    The importance of any one factor over any other in a sort order varies, and the balance is constantly being reviewed and adjusted. We're always updating our systems and testing new ways to refine and improve your results to make them as relevant as possible to meet your needs.
