★★★★★★★★★★4.1 · 2,758 reviews · from $20Our pick

Cruise Porto’s Douro River, see its famous bridges, and add a Burmester wine cellar visit or sunset sailing for a relaxed city view.

“Highly recommended. The Porto Riverbank Tour was a fantastic way to escape the city and explore the natural environment surrounding the old city. Stunning river, estuaries and of course the mighty Atlantic Ocean. Burnardos, a local and avid outdoor lover, guidance was top notch being very considerate helping us navigate the route whilst providing knowledgeable information at key points. The e-bikes were superb. Lasting memories from this excellent experience.”

Review of Porto’s two-hour sailboat cruise with port wine, city views, Luis I Bridge photos, and a possible Atlantic sunset run.

“This sailboat cruise is a MUST! We booked this experience the night before, only knowing we wanted to do one under 4 hours and earlier in the day while also having a more luxurious but intimate experience. This checked every box we were hoping for! Very comfortable accommodations, lovely drinks and snacks, extremely friendly and knowledgeable crew, and only six guests. We loved doing this tour in the morning so we couple learn all about Porto and get some great ideas and recommendations for food and things to do. I highly recommend this tour!!”

Review of Porto’s two-hour Douro sailing cruise, with port wine, bridges, Gaia cellars, the estuary, and daytime or sunset departures.

“We went my partner and I to celebrate her birthday, and it was amazing. The employees are very friendly and good-willed, the boat was in top shape and the trip was just perfect. We both lived in Porto before, it was still worth the investment for the unique view and the memory we created. Don't do the large group tours, this one is much better”

Douro Sunset Sailboat Experience in Porto

7.Douro Sunset Sailboat Experience in Porto

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 439 reviews · 2 hours (approx.) · from $71

Sail Porto’s Douro River at sunset with drinks, snacks, and local stories, from Ribeira and Gaia to Foz and the Atlantic.

“What sets this tour apart is that the sunset view is farther out to the sea than any other boat. We were the only ones past the quay and this elevated the experience like nothing else. We saw the iconic orange sunset against the waves then dolphins appeared. The entire experience just got better and better. The crew was amazing (shout out to Sarah!), wine and snacks were included. Small nuggets of history, photos with the Luis bridge AND blankets for the cold sea breeze just made it even better. Definitely 10/10 can’t recommend enough!!”

Sylvia was the captain david was the main crew/ guide and Moto was a guide in training My adult son and I were travel in g together and sat up on the top which was perfect.
