Peaceful, scenic, great value - The boat ride was lovely, super calm and quiet. It was us and 4 other couples. We tried a local wine and a port while seeing the Duoro Valley from the water and learning more about the area.

Scenic eco-friendly boat ride from Pinhau - We really enjoyed our boat trip today. Pinhau is such a beautiful location but the electric boat made it more enjoyable due to the silent environmentally friendly ride. The guys were great guides and told us a lot about the wine growing and history of the area. Topped off with two glasses of local wine.

Perfect size - David and Jean were fantastic hosts. It was so peaceful and serene. Especially when you see dozens of people board the bigger boats. Having a small, intimate group, we were able to have wonderful conversations and listen to David’s commentary and ask questions. I highly recommend the electric/solar experience.

Quiet and good for the nature - It was one of the most relaxing things we did while in Porto. We loved that the boat is not polluting because it is powered by electricity from the solar panel. It was so quiet compared to the other boats, and very relaxing and personal as we were not many people. We tasted 2 amazing wines, one white and one red. We also got great recommendations for what to do around in Pinhao. The tour guide was really friendly, tried to make conversations with everyone on the boat. He also speaks English and French and Portuguese

The perfect wine tasting on the Douro River - Daurum Solar Boats was the perfect way to enjoy a wine tasting on the Dauro River. Our small group of 10 was hosted superbly by Maria and Joao. The comfortable boat, powered by solar panels, was silent throughout our one hour cruise and the 2 wines, produced by a local cooperative, were simply wonderful. A real highlight of our visit to Portugal!
