Frequently Asked Questions
Where do we board and how long is it?
You board in Pinhão, in the heart of the Douro wine region. The tour lasts about 1 hour and ends where it started. After booking we confirm the exact time and boarding point with you.
Is the boat just for my group?
No, this tour is shared with other passengers, which is why it costs €27 per person. If you want the boat to yourselves, see the private boat tour, for up to 8 people.
What happens if the weather is bad?
We check the weather and river conditions in the 24h before. If it isn't safe to go ahead, we offer another date or a full refund. Light rain doesn't usually cancel the tour.
How do I book and pay?
Book through the online form or on WhatsApp. On the website you can pay straight away by card, MB WAY or Multibanco (30% deposit or the full amount), or just send the request and pay once we confirm. We reply within 1 hour.
What is the cancellation policy?
Free cancellation up to 48h before the activity, with full refund. Within 48h, the date can be changed subject to availability.
What languages are the activities run in?
Our guides run the activities in Portuguese, English and Spanish. If you would prefer another language, tell us when booking and we will confirm availability.
Are the activities suitable for people with reduced mobility?
It depends on the activity. The 4x4 tours and the Douro boat tours are the most accessible, since most of the time is spent in the vehicle or on board, with short stops. Trails and night hikes involve uneven ground. Talk to us before booking and we will point you to the best option.
Are tours suitable for children?
Yes. Both boat and 4x4 tours are family-friendly.
Is transport included?
No. The tour starts and ends in Pinhão and getting there is up to you. Pinhão has a train station on the Douro Line, so it is easy to come from Porto without a car.
Can I book privately?
Yes. We offer private boat tours and can arrange private 4x4 tours on request: perfect for celebrations or families.
What should I bring?
Comfortable clothes, closed shoes, sun protection, sunglasses and a camera. For sunset tours, a light jacket is a good idea.
