Boat trip from the Arade River to Silves 3h
General information
Deal overview
To do this, we are going to propose a boat ride along the Arade River, departing from the Portimão Marina, lasting three hours duration, which ends in the beautiful medieval city of Silves, where you will have 45 minutes to, on your own, explore > this town in the center of the region.
Meanwhile, along this route you will contemplate some vestiges of the artistic and architectural heritage of the region, you will soak up its culture, learn about its history and, in addition, you will observe different species of birds and other animals. Our destination is, as we said, Silves, very famous for its reddish castle with an irregular floor plan, one of the best preserved in the Algarve.
To make the excursion more pleasant, we will provide you with drinks during the journey, we will make a brief stop for those who want to bathe, and we will plug in the speaker so that music plays. In this way, the experience stands out from the typical until it becomes something unique. Really.
Likewise, a boat skipper directs the boat along the river and gives you the pertinent explanations about the places we pass through. When we arrive at Silves he will also act as a tour guide with a brief introductory talk about the city. On the way back, to the point of origin, you will have the possibility of taking more water, orange juice or rosé wine and fresh fruit while the music continues to play.
As it will be time for lunch, we recommend that you ask our captain which are the best restaurants in the area where you can taste traditional sardines. There will be no failure.
