Tour Details

At the indicated time, we'll meet in front of the Afurada Market to start an amphibious bus tour of Porto. This unique DUKW vehicle, used during World War II, will allow us to explore the city on both land and water.

We'll board the vehicle at the ramp and head towards the river. We'll enter the water and the bus will gently glide towards the Arrábida Bridge, which is noted for its impressive concrete arch and is the largest of its kind in the world.

We'll continue sailing, passing by the Massarelos Helipad and the district of the same name, known for its industrial past linked to river transport.

In the distance, the silhouette of the church of Massarelos, one of the beautiful churches along the river coast, will appear. At this point, the amphibious bus will turn around, heading towards the mouth of the Douro, where fresh water meets the Atlantic.

In the final stretch, we'll sail next to the Douro Marina, a modern nautical complex that contrasts with the tradition of Afurada. We will return to the ramp used to enter the river, concluding the tour at the initial meeting point after 50 minutes.
