On this two-hour tour along the Douro River aboard a classic boat, you can admire the beauty of the banks of the city of Porto and Vila Nova de Gaia while relaxing with music and the sounds of the surrounding nature.
It should be noted that we are the only sailboat to be able to cross the Dom Luis I Bridge, thus allowing a trip from the mouth of the Douro to Freixo passing through the 6 bridges that connect the city of Porto to Vila Nova de Gaia.
Despite being a shared experience, our boat has several distinct areas with benches and cushions for your comfort, allowing for a more intimate experience if you so desire.
As the name of our boat indicates, come be HAPPY on the Douro.
