Before you choose your River Douro trip
Is this a private or shared boat tour?
Sailing Dream’s trips are private. One booking reserves the experience for your group of one to eight passengers; you do not share it with other bookings.
Where do the boat trips depart from?
The 1-hour River Douro tour departs from Cais do Ouro, Rua do Ouro 160, Porto, and returns there. The 3-hour River & Sea tour departs from the Port of Leixões and returns to Leixões. Sunset tours follow the departure point of the selected route. Exact boarding details are sent with confirmation.
Are these Douro Valley wine tours?
These are boat trips around Porto, Vila Nova de Gaia and, on the 3-hour route, the Atlantic coast. The routes described here do not travel to Régua or Pinhão and do not include vineyard visits. A Port wine tasting is included on board.
How do I choose a date and time?
Trips are available every day on request. Send your preferred date, time, tour and number of passengers through our contact page or WhatsApp. We confirm availability, departure time and boarding details by email and WhatsApp.
What happens if the weather or sea conditions are unsuitable?
All trips are subject to confirmation and suitable weather and sea conditions, including waves, wind and rain. A request does not guarantee departure. If Sailing Dream cancels a paid trip, you may choose another date or a full refund.
