Description

Ride a morning bus from Porto's São Bento station up to Régua, then float all the way back down the Douro on a scenic river cruise with lunch and drinks served on board. Kids get a real adventure out of passing through two huge dam locks — the Carrapatelo lock drops the boat a dramatic 34 metres — while the terraced vineyards of the Douro Valley slide past. It's a full 9-hour day with about 7 hours on the water, so it suits school-age children and teens who can settle into a long, relaxed journey; vegetarian and gluten-free lunch options are available.
