Set out from Ânima Durius in Pinhão for a private 1 to 4 hour Douro River cruise. Guides including Barbara and Paulo share local stories as you enjoy vineyard views, a comfortable yacht, 360-degree glassed-in shelter, and a glass of Port wine.

“This was a special birthday celebration so we splurged on the 4 hour private tour. So worth it! Barbara was such a capable captain, and also such a good conversationalist and guide. She explained so much about the history of the area, the viticulture, and some cultural insights. The yacht is comfortable with a shaded, elevated deck. This made for great visibility and breeze on the tour. You don’t usually see boats of this high quality in these waters. You can also sit in the cabin if you’d prefer, and there is a head (bathroom) on board. Barbara demonstrated her skill docking this boat by herself in a tight-looking slip.…”

We moored up at a quiet secret beach and had lots of time for swimming, snorkling and paddle boarding. A light tapas supper got us going before the journey home. The drink flowed freely throughout. Thank you for a great trip.”
