Things to do in Northern Portugal, Portugal: The Best Boat Rentals

February 20, 2022 Natalie Tallman

Brimming with both history and natural wonder, Northern Portugal is home to Porto, the city that gave the country its name, as well as the important ancient town of Braga. Also here is Peneda-Gerês, Portugal’s only national park, a gorgeous wilderness area of mountains, gorges, water features and wildlife. Many picturesque villages and manor houses dot the countryside. Two areas are UNESCO World Heritage Sites: the Alto Douro Wine Region, and the Paleolithic rock art in the Côa Valley.

AquaturGeres

This is a guided boat tour in the Cavado River, which is closed by Canicada Dam, in a boat like a catamaran. It’s a relaxing trip along the river where you can enjoy all the varied flora that covers the entire surrounding mountains. It will allow you to discover hidden places that otherwise would be very difficult, while feeling the pure nature breeze. Our experienced Skipper will tell a few information about what it’s relevant along the way, so while you enjoy the beautiful landscapes you will also learn local facts. Our boat is equipped with all the needed comforts on board to provide a good ride. It is served champagne as welcome drink on the cruise. If you prefer you can handle the Boat with the supervision of Skipper (always) or just relax, enjoying the sun and river breeze passing through several wonderful sights of the Cavado River. The navigation can be planned according to what you want, between bachelor parties to birthdays or just spending relaxing moments in the water.
