Alqueva Lake Boat Trip

We will meet at the time of your choice at the Alqueva reservoir, where a boat will be ready to take us on a tour of one of the largest artificial lakes in Europe. During the journey, we will learn about the history of the dam and the biodiversity of the Guadiana river. We will pass the idyllic Herdade Monte da Tapada hill and the mouth of the river Degebe, which flows into the reservoir. We will sail around the picturesque small islands of the lake. If the weather permits, a swimming stop may be included. After the boat trip of an hour and a half, a visit to the Alqueva Interpretation Centre is available, featuring a documentary on the area's changes due to the dam and its water supply.

The boat

The boat for the tour has a capacity of 55 people, with outside seating and a deck suitable for summer and winter. There is also a refrigerator on board for storing drinks.
