Overview

Discover the beauty and tranquility of the Arade River on a 4h journey full of history, perfect for those looking to escape the crowds and discover the hidden treasures of the Algarve.

From Portimão to the charming medieval town of Silves, our guide will share with you the history and culture of the region, showing you famous places and historical landmarks. Birdwatching is also very enjoyable.

As we approach Silves we will sail with the tide, which allows us to go with a very quiet engine. As we glide along the calm waters, you will have the opportunity to discover the feeling of calm that the river conveys. Hop-off in Silves to visit the town for about 1h30minutes.

On the way back to Portimão, relax in a serene atmosphere surrounded by the natural beauty of the riverbanks while sipping on something refreshing. And, if it is a sunset tour you will have the privilege of seeing the sun setting several times across the hills!
