Arribes del Douro Cruise

Cliffs, gorges, eagles and more surprises await you on this cruise around Arribes del Douro, a unique natural enclave just a few kilometres away from Miranda de Douro.

Cruise Details

The tour will meet at the chosen time at the Douro International Biological Station pier, near the town of Miranda de Douro. From here, we set off aboard the boat to explore the viewpoints and waterfalls of the natural park.

Throughout the cruise, the boat's crew will explain the geographical characteristics of the canyon. We will pass by the Líquenes Cliffs, the entry point to the national park, and head to the "Otter Pond" to learn about the local flora.

We will sail through the territory of eagles and black storks, two notable species in the area, with the hope of spotting these birds.

The tour concludes at the Eagle Valley, one of the best viewpoints in Arribes del Douro park, where you can take photographs from the boat's terrace on the return journey.

After one hour and fifteen minutes of canyon exploration, we will return to land for a 30-minute tasting of Porto's wines, concluding a memorable day in the Arribes del Douro!
