"Don't nick the mascot" ! - Booked through GetYour Guide, we had a wonderful time on the river with around a one and a half stop at Silves. Stunning weather in early March, made all the better with on board refreshments, and company of the mascot Pipoca. Would definitely recommend 👌. Lucky enough to be dropped off at our hotel landing stage ....

Magnificent and peaceful nature sightseeing tour on the Arade to Silves - Great trip with very competent guidance and explanations by the skipper and the biologist Ana. Excellent consideration for the needs of the guests. I did a tour on the Arade to Silves a few years ago, but this one was much better!

Fantastic trip - We booked our boat trip from Portimao to Silves via Get your Guide and are so glad we did. The three hour plus trip gave us just over an hour to explore Silves. The small group on the boat gave the trip a very friendly vibe enhanced by the very informative chats provided by Pedro and Anna. Their lovely little dog Pipoca made everyone smile. Birds spotted included storks, egrets, ķingfishers and a fantastic flock of flamingos. We highly recommend this good value trip and are sure you will enjoy it as much as we did.
