Glide down the Douro River from Tua to Pinhão over a 12 km stretch, savouring the silence, the breathtaking vineyard landscape, and the refreshing, calm waters of the Douro. Stop at small, secluded beaches for sunbathing and river swimming.
You’ll be taken by rabelo boat from Pinhão to the Foz Tua Pier in a one-hour regular tour upstream along the stretch of the Douro River, which you will later descend by kayak. During the upstream journey, you’ll have the chance to get to know the river, plan stops for bathing, and prepare for your descent.
Safe even for beginners, the route keeps you on the left side of the river while boats navigate on the right. However, note that the descent will take at least 3 hours.
Double seat-on-top Ocean Malibu XL kayaks are used for this activity.
Bring water, a snack, and sunscreen with you.
