¿Está preparado para una excursión por Silves y el río Arade?
This eco-friendly river cruise lasts approximately 4.5 hours and departs from the meeting point at the Portimão waterfront. You’ll cruise along the peaceful Arade River on a modern solar-powered boat designed for a small group experience with a maximum capacity of 10 participants. This intimate setting ensures you have plenty of space to relax and enjoy the expert commentary from your local guide as you head toward the historic town of Silves.
Experience a different side of the Algarve as you navigate through calm, scenic waters. The silent electric motor allows you to hear the sounds of nature and spot local birdlife, like storks and flamingos, without any engine noise. Once you arrive in Silves, the former Moorish capital, you will have 1.5 hours of free time to explore at your own pace. You can climb the red sandstone walls of the medieval castle, visit the cathedral, or wander through the charming cobbled streets.
On the return journey to Portimão, the relaxation continues with a refreshing glass of local wine served on board. Sit back in the comfortable, cushioned seats and soak in the views of the rolling countryside and lush riverbanks. This tour is perfectly timed with the tide to ensure a smooth and sustainable journey every time. It is a wonderful way to combine history, nature, and sustainable travel into one memorable afternoon.
