Overview

The sunset, the baptism of the sea, the special meeting, the surprise, bird watching and maybe even dolphins, unforgettable moments.

During the experience, you will have the opportunity to glimpse several iconic elements, such as the church of Massarelos with our illustrious tiles with the image of D. Infante, the watchtower in the Jardim do Palácio de Cristal, the Rabelo Boats (used to transport the barrels of wine from the Alto Douro Vinhateiro to the city of Porto), the Port wine cellars, Ponte da Arrábida considered one of the greatest engineering structures in Portugal, the enormous suspended arch that for several years held the title of the largest suspended arch in the world. The Douro Estuary (protected area)

Opportunity to contemplate Porto from another unique perspective, from “our river” the Douro River.

Accompanied by a certified and local team with the determination and spirit that characterizes us in Porto and distinguishes us from elsewhere, our Soul.

Without a doubt, a unique experience in the Douro.
