Algarve Arade River Cruise

This eco-friendly cruise up the Arade River from Portimao features scenery by the bucket load, but the best thing is that you'll experience it in complete tranquillity. There are no engines on board the boat, so you'll glide along using just solar power to hear the birds and waves as clearly as possible. There's also a stop in the medieval town of Silves.You'll see Portimao from a whole new perspective once you begin your silent journey along Arade River. Soon enough, the landscape will turn into country scenes with vineyards, storks and a myriad of other birdlife gathering along the shore. Then when you arrive in the medieval town of Silves, the once-upon-a-time capital of the Kingdom of the Algarve, you'll hop off for some free time.You'll have an hour-and-a-half to take a closer look at the Moorish hilltop castle, or simply bumble about from one café to the next taking it all in. Back on board the boat, you'll begin cruising back towards Portimao.
