Description

A full-day river cruise up the Douro, from Porto's Cais da Estiva to Peso da Régua in the heart of the terraced Douro Valley. Kids love passing through the locks at the Crestuma-Lever and Carrapatelo dams, where the boat rises as much as 35 metres inside the lock chamber. Breakfast and lunch are served on board, there is free time in Régua, and the return to Porto is by air-conditioned coach in the evening. It is a long day (roughly 8am to 8pm), so it suits school-age children better than toddlers; the boat is wheelchair accessible.
