Rabelo Boat Tour on a Fantastic Stretch of the Douro River, Starting from Pinhão
Sail along a stunning section of the Douro River, free from national roads on its banks.
The journey includes a one-hour ascent to Tua, followed by the return. You’ll see terraced vineyards stretching down to the river and historic wine estates, including Bomfim, Carvalhas, Roeda, Ventozelo, Pessegueiro, Roncão, Romaneira, Beira Rio, São José, Roriz, Vila Velha, Malvedos, and others. This unique landscape is a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
Compared to the regular one-hour tour, this route doubles the distance covered, offering a breathtaking, ever-changing panorama.
We provide a free audio guide with detailed information about the sights, the Douro River, the rabelo boats, the wine, and the region, available in Portuguese, French, English, Spanish, and German. You can listen on your phone—please bring your headphones for comfort.
Our rabelo boats are available in both open and closed configurations, allowing us to operate year-round and in any weather conditions.
