Great views and wine

Karen_E, Dec 2025

The crew was friendly and the boat was clean and comfortable. We went out at sunset and got beatiful pictures of Porto and the bridges. * Don't expect lengthy descriptions of the bridges or wine--I liked that they gave a very brief description of each bridge (just a few words so we could enjoy each other and soak up the views, but they were willing to talk more when we asked questions). * Don't expect music as indicated in description...they did set up a speaker and play music to set the mood as we were nearing the end where they turn the boat to see the sunset, but difficult to hear it over the boat's engine. * We tasted 4 quality port wines. There was no chocolate pairing as advertised. When I asked about it, they brought out a bowl of cheap kettle corn. There is definitely no effort at "pairing" different wines and snacks as indicated so I feel we overpaid for what we received. * This tour starts from the mouth of the Atlantic Ocean so you get to see all the bridges going down the river and coming back. We walked an hour (2 miles) from Porto center...There was not much to see and path was desserted so definitely plan on travelling to the marina by car (or booking a boat trip closer to the city). Note; I didn't see a lot of options on Viator outside of this general location when i was planning our trip, but there are multiple vendors set up along the river in Porto that you could book for less the day of and many offer a glass of wine (if you are mainly looking for a quick 1 hour river cruise) but this is an excellent option if you want to travel at a slower pace where you can take in the sunset and taste multiple port wines.

Unforgettable experience

randesonl, Dec 2025

I had an amazing experience with the Sailing 360. The boat tour was very well organized, with a caring and professional staff from the beginning. The sailing was quiet and provided beautiful views, creating a perfect climate to relax and enjoy the moment. The wine tasting was a highlight apart: wines of excellent quality, well explained and harmonized with the experience of the tour, which made everything even more special. It was a perfect combination of leisure, good company and amazing flavors. I highly recommend Sailing 360 for those looking for a different, sophisticated and memorable experience. I would definitely repeat!

The Best Views of Porto!

Landscapes and Magnificent Culture

It was a very good experience. I loved the wines we made the tasting and the sailors were very friendly. The landscapes are beautiful and the culture that exists around the port wine is very beautiful.

Itinerary

  • Ponte da Arrabida

    The Arrábida Bridge is an arch bridge that crosses the Douro River, connecting Porto and Vila Nova de Gaia. It was built in 1963 as a response to the increasing flow of traffic and the need for alternative connections to the old bridges. At the time of its construction, the bridge had the largest reinforced concrete arch of any bridge in the world.

  • Espaco Porto Cruz

    While enjoying a Port wine tasting and chocolates, enjoy the beautiful views of Porto and Vila Nova de Gaia.

  • Dom Luis I Bridge

    While enjoying a glass of Port wine, enjoy the beautiful views of Porto and Vila Nova de Gaia.

    The Ponte Dom Luís I is a true icon of the city of Porto and a marvel of 19th century engineering.

  • Cais da Ribeira

    The Dom Luís I Bridge spans the River Douro between Porto on the north bank and Vila Nova de Gaia on the south bank.

  • Ponte D. Maria Pia

    There are six magnificent bridges that join the two banks of the Douro River. Have fun on the Six Bridges Cruise and get to know them! Classified as a National Monument the D. Maria Pia Bridge is a railway infrastructure that crosses the Douro River, connecting Porto and Vila Nova de Gaia. Designed by Gustave Eiffel, it was once the largest iron arch bridge in the world and is considered one of his greatest masterpiece.

  • Ponte Infante Dom Henrique

    The Infante Dom Henrique Bridge, also known as the Infante Bridge, is a road bridge connecting Vila Nova de Gaia to Porto, over the Douro River, in Portugal. Named in honor of Infante Dom Henrique (He was the main promoter of the Portuguese expansion, the so-called ''Portuguese Discoveries''), he was born in Porto, it is the newest bridge connecting Porto and Gaia.

  • Ponte de Sao Joao

    The São João Bridge was built to replace the D. Maria Pia Bridge, another iconic bridge in Porto. The São João Bridge has become an iconic landmark in the Porto skyline and an important transportation link between Porto and Vila Nova de Gaia. Interestingly, during the construction of the bridge, archaeologists discovered the remains of a Roman road and a medieval shipyard on the site, providing valuable information about the history of the area.
