Minho River Boat Tour

At the indicated time, we'll meet at the fishing wharf in Tui to board a traditional wooden boat and set sail down the Minho River. We will navigate the river that separates Spain from Portugal.

From the boat, we will see the landscapes of Tui and the Santa Maria Cathedral, which dates back to the 12th century.

We'll sail under the Tui International Bridge, known as the "Friendship Bridge" in Portugal. This bridge connects the two countries and spans the Minho River. On the Portuguese side lies the town of Valença do Minho, which features a fortress visible from the boat, notable for its Gothic and Baroque architectural details, having been destroyed and rebuilt multiple times.

While drifting along the river, we will learn about the flora and fauna in Minho. The riverbed is rich in minerals, supporting diverse ecosystems. We will identify various natural habitats of plants and animals on both banks of the river.

After 45 minutes, we will conclude the experience back at the dock.
