This 90-minute sunset cruise sails through the clear, calm waters of the Rio Sado and skirts the rugged edges of Arrábida Natural Park, an area renowned for its striking limestone cliffs, dense Mediterranean vegetation, and secluded coves only accessible by water. Departing from Praia Marina de Troia, travelers settle onto a well-equipped boat designed for comfort and intimacy, with a maximum of 21 guests ensuring a personal feel.
