A must-see when visiting the Porto region, the Douro Valley is an iconic wine-producing area in northern Portugal. Famous for its terraced hillsides and vineyards, it is the birthplace of Port wine and also a spectacular natural setting for outdoor activities.
To fully immerse yourself in this UNESCO World Heritage Site, your local guide invites you to join this carefully organised day trip from Porto. Everything is taken care of from start to finish for a stress-free experience. You board a minivan in Porto and travel straight into the heart of the beautiful Douro Valley. Once there, your guide leads you on a guided sea kayaking excursion on the Douro River lasting around 1 hour and 30 minutes. This peaceful paddle is the perfect way to start the day and admire the valley’s iconic landscapes from the river.
