About this tour

Silves by boat – Arade River Tour

Explore the scenic Arade River on a historic boat tour from Portimão to Silves, with approximately 1h30m to explore this enchanting Medieval city.  On the way back, enjoy the views and a glass of wine!

Who says you can’t blend eco-friendliness with pure indulgence? Hop aboard the SunBoat for a luxurious journey along the Arade River and Silves, where we sail and solar-power our way to an adventure that will become your favorite bragging story for years to come!

Enjoy a relaxing trip from Portimão to Silves aboard our sustainable eco-friendly boat on the historical waters of the Arade River, where the future meets the past.

Our ecological boat is quiet and perfect for those who look for a peacefull and relaxing boat trip. Picture yourself sinking into plush, cushioned seats, shaded like a VIP at a beach party, with tables ready to cradle your drinks and personal treasures.

As we sail, the captain turns into your very own river DJ, spinning cool facts and groovy tunes about the Arade River and its epic history. When we hit Silves, the land of historical wonders, you’ve got about 1h30m to explore. Unleash your inner explorer, conquer monuments, storm the castle, and dive into the cultural feast of the museum or delicious local cuisine.

On the way back to Portimão, get ready for the cinematic sequel with a glass of wine. The city unfolds before you like the grand finale, and the Arade River’s mouth becomes the backstage pass to a view that’s more refreshing than a sip of coconut water on a summer day.

Join us for an unforgettable, fun, and eco-conscious nautical escapade!

Without a doubt the best activity that can be done in Portimao

It was an incredible experience to take this walk along the Arade River, the day we did it we went alone, it was like a private tour They contacted us by phone to tell us the exact point of departure and there were two very good professionals waiting for us, the guide and the one who carried the motor boat. The walk along the river was spectacular, our guide spoke to us carefully about the fauna, the flora, how the tides model the river and some of the buildings and places of the river Being like a private tour, we were able to stop at the points we wanted and also when we arrived at the town of Silves, enjoy it for as long as we wanted.

Excellent communication

Sadly didn’t do the tour as it stated 21:00 and I thought that was an error. Contacted the company to ask once I’d booked. They confirmed it was 21:00 and offered me another day instead which I couldn’t do as I was going home the following day. They were amazing, excellent communication, full refund and offered to tell me other companies than ran a similar trip. Written March 11, 2022
