Reiseverlauf
Douro Marina; Unsere Reise beginnt in Douro Marina, im malerischen und traditionellen Dorf Afurada.
Entworfen vom italienischen Architekten Nicolau Nasoni, der mehr als 75 Meter lange Clérigos-Turm, wurde 1763 fertiggestellt. Ursprünglich diente er als Glockenturm, doch im Laufe der Jahre wurde er auch als Wahrzeichen für Schiffe sowie als strategischer Punkt für Schiffe genutzt militärischer Kampf. Der Besuch des Torre dos Clérigos beinhaltet eine 225-stufige Reise zum Gipfel, von der aus Sie einen Panoramablick auf die Stadt Porto und Gaia genießen können.
Es handelt sich um eine Metallbrücke mit zwei Decks, die zwischen 1881 und 1886 erbaut wurde und die durch den Fluss Douro getrennten Städte Porto und Vila Nova de Gaia verbindet.
Ein Besuch in Ribeira durfte nicht fehlen. Die beste und schönste Postkarte der Stadt mit all ihren Farben, ihrem Leben und ihrer Geschichte, Trauen Sie sich, es kennenzulernen!
Das Kloster Serra do Pilar ist ein strenges Kloster Kirche aus dem 17. Jahrhundert. Seitdem wurde es von der UNESCO zum Weltkulturerbe erklärt 1996. Die als Nationaldenkmal eingestufte Kirche zeichnet sich durch ihren kreisförmigen Grundriss aus, der von einem imposanten halbkugelförmigen Gewölbe bedeckt ist, von einem Balkon umgeben ist und von einer Laterne gekrönt wird. Im Inneren stechen die vergoldeten und weißen Schnitzarbeiten hervor. Es bewahrt einen wunderschönen Kreuzgang, der ebenfalls als Nationaldenkmal eingestuft ist und über ein rundes Gewölbe mit zentraler Rippe verfügt, das von 36 ionischen Säulen getragen wird. Dieses manieristische Kloster ist ein einzigartiges Beispiel in Portugal, da die Kirche und der Kreuzgang einen kreisförmigen Grundriss haben, ein Modell, das aus der Zivilarchitektur stammt. Seine geografische Lage war 1809 während der Invasionen der napoleonischen Truppen und 1832-33 als Militärstützpunkt während der liberalen Kämpfe von entscheidender Bedeutung. Zur Festung erhoben, wurde es inzwischen in eine Militärkaserne umgewandelt
Die D. Maria Pia-Brücke ist eine Eisenbahninfrastruktur, die die Nordlinie über den Fluss Douro zwischen den Städten Porto und Vila Nova de Gaia im Norden Portugals führte. Sie wurde am 4. November 1877 eingeweiht und am 24. Juni 1991 geschlossen, nachdem sie durch die Ponte de São João ersetzt wurde. Sie gilt neben dem Garabit-Viadukt als das größte Meisterwerk des Ingenieurs Gustave Eiffel. Zum Zeitpunkt ihrer Einweihung war sie die Brücke mit dem größten Eisenbogen der Welt 1982.
Mit einer Fläche von 66,35 Hektar liegt das lokale Naturschutzgebiet Douro-Mündung am Südufer der Flussmündung in der Nähe des Fischerdorfes Afurada und umfasst Cabedelo und die Bucht von São Paio, wo sich eine Salzwiese befindet. Unter den Naturschätzen, die es schützt, sind die Vögel hervorzuheben, die hier leben oder durchziehen und die leicht beobachtet werden können, da es sich auf dem Zugkorridor befindet, der als „Ostatlantikroute“ bekannt ist.
Das Erlebnis endet an der Mündung des Douro, direkt am Atlantischen Ozean

There are many boats that do the same 6 bridges trip, so it’s all about the crew. Paulo and Nadie were very friendly and made us feel among friends. They supplied us with hats, music and adjusted drinks to our taste. There’s space on the boat with shade and also in the open for sun seekers.
Thank you so much, Matthias! We’re really happy you enjoyed the afternoon with us. There may be many boats on the Douro, so for us the difference is always in the little things — making people feel welcome, comfortable and at home. It was a pleasure having you aboard! Nádia e Paulo
Incredible experience! What a lovely boat with amazing hosts. We loved cruising the river, seeing Porto from the water, and tasting some fine port wines. Nadia and Paulo were extremely hospitable and even gave my two-year-old his own "wine" (juice) and snacks to share in the experience. They also made sure to have a life jacket available for him, which was important to us. Could not recommend this enough. Lovely, intimate experience where you're treated as one of the family. Major plus was having one of the best port tastings you could ask for!
Thank you so much, Jake. This review truly made us smile. It was such a pleasure to welcome your group on board and share that late-morning Port wine tasting with you. You were all so kind, warm and easy to host — exactly the kind of people who make the Douro feel even more special. And of course, little Captain Cooper completely stole our hearts. Seeing him enjoy his “wine”, his snacks and the boat adventure was unforgettable — even his protest when it was time to leave was the sweetest compliment we could receive. Thank you for your kindness and for sharing this moment with us. We’ll remember your time on board with a big smile. Nadia and Paulo
We didn’t have an idea of how the tour would be and were happily surprised. We were greeted by our hosts Nadia and her husband and immediately were presented with warm reception. When we were onboard were accommodated and made feel as if it were the boat owners and they were there to sail boat for us while we relaxed and took in the scenery. They provided a delicious port wine tonic cocktail as a welcome drink which was absolutely delicious and refreshing. The provided a lot of history of the region and six bridges on the Dourous River. We were also presented with a great charcuterie board and other delicious port wine tonic. They had warm blankets to shelter us from the cold weather. A very lovely and hospitable couple. Thank you both for giving us such an amazing experience.
Thank you so much, Rosemary, for your beautiful words. It means a lot to us to know that you and your husband felt so welcomed and comfortable on board. We always hope our guests can relax, enjoy the beauty of the Douro and feel truly cared for, so your review makes us very happy. Thank you both for sailing with us and for bringing such lovely energy on board. Warm wishes, Nádia & Paulo
We were in Porto in November, a bit unlucky with bad weather, on the day of the cruise on the Douro river we arrive at the meeting point and we discover that we are the only two participants. We thought we'd be asked to cancel or move, and instead we left anyway. It was a beautiful and surreal experience, very few boats on the river, at one point we were the only ones with the whole view to ourselves. The weather also graced us and we were able to enjoy part of the trip outside, sipping port wine and relaxing. It was a really nice experience. Thanks to Nadia and Paulo who treated us divinely, two very kind, nice and super professional people!
Carlota, grazie mille! 🤍 Che gioia sapere che la crociera, anche con il maltempo, è stata unica. Siamo felici di essere partiti comunque e di avervi regalato quel Douro “solo per voi”, con Porto e relax. Grazie per la fiducia — tornate quando volete! Nadia & Paulo
This was THE best port tasting experience I had (I did 3 while in Porto). This husband and wife team really know what they are doing. She thoughtfully paired the different ports with foods that enhanced the flavor. No boring lectures here. And as we passed landmarks little anecdotes were told, very endearing. Even though there were no sunsets to be seen, this is THE port tasting experience in Porto. Thank you Nadia and Paulo!
Hello! This is, by far, the best reward! We are thrilled to have provided the best Port wine tasting the city has ever had. For us, the pairing and the anecdotes are key. It's our way of bringing the story to life! Thank you for highlighting our work and passion. It's a pleasure to serve you! Best regards, Nádia and Paulo
Nadia and Paul were excellent throughout our Douro 6 bridges river excursion....very friendly and informative.
Thank you so much! We're truly happy to know you enjoyed the Douro experience. Foi um prazer partilhar este passeio convosco — a vossa simpatia tornou tudo ainda mais especial. Esperamos voltar a recebê-los em breve para mais momentos memoráveis! ⛵😊 Nádia e Paulo
Alma and Paulo were absolutely amazing ,great service and very genuine good hearted people I would strongly recommend!!!
Thank you so much, Katie! Your kind words truly mean a lot to us. It was a joy to have you on board and share this experience. We're grateful for your recommendation and hope to welcome you again one day! Nadia e Paulo
We had a wonderful time on this sunset boat tour in Porto! We sat on the outside seating on the boat and were very comfortable, when it got colder we were immediatly offered blankets. It felt like the whole experience was well planned and thought through. The views of the city from the water were stunning, and the experience was made even better with a delicious cheeseboard, drinks, and a lovely port wine tasting. The couple who run the tour are so warm and welcoming, and they also share interesting explanations about the landmarks along the river, which made the ride even more special. Generaly the whole experience felt very personal and authentic – truly a highlight of our trip and highly recommended!
🌅 Thank you so much for your generous and detailed words! We're truly delighted to hear that the sunset cruise was a memorable experience for you. Every detail—from the blankets to the cheese board and Port wine—is carefully considered to ensure everyone feels comfortable and welcomed. It's a great joy to be able to share the beauty of the Douro and Porto with such special people. We sincerely thank you for joining us and hope to welcome you back in the near future for more unforgettable moments!Nadia e Paulo
It was amazing! The staff was very friendly and welcoming. They feel comfortable saying the boat is like ours. The ride was perfect and the boat very comfortable! I recommend 100%!!!

Really lovely personal experience gently along The Douro with lots of shade on the boat with Nadia and Paulo's kind attention and warm welcome. Recommend.
