Natural Habitat Adventures

Kayak the Douro River by Day & Feast at Classic Vineyard Estates at Night

Savor Portuguese nature, culture and cuisine on a Dionysian paddling odyssey through romantic wine country—a unique adventure that is ours alone! We’ve tapped our years of connections with the families of the Douro Valley to offer this rare personal encounter with Old World Europe. The sun glints on the glassy surface of the Douro as we dip our paddles, gliding through northern Portugal’s Port wine district. Hawks circle overhead between rugged mountains terraced with ancient vineyards. Tranquil mornings on the river give way to afternoon hikes in hillside orchards and festive evenings at centuries-old quintas, the wine estates of the Douro Valley. Within these hospitable family-run inns, share warm revelry with our hosts, and enjoy an inside view on contemporary rural life in Portugal. As our hosts say, "A sua saude"—To your health!

Porto (Oporto)

Porto (Oporto)

Porto (Oporto), Portugal's second largest city, is full of interest, and the district it heads offers the visitor plenty to see. Along the coast, there are resorts like the cosmopolitan beach of Espinho, busy ports like Matosinhos, with splendid seafood, or traditional fishing towns like Póvoa de Varzim, and there is also an animated casino. Charming Amarante has 17th century mansions overlooking the river and is famous for a sweet egg pastries called "papos de anjo" (angel bellies). In Vila Nova de Gaia, there are lodges where Port wine is blended and aged and where tasting are offered, or visitors may take a river cruise along the Douro. The whole district is filled with prosperous towns, but there are also many calm roads with wonderful views over the river and a rugged and still unspoilt coastline.
