Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need previous experience?
No. Our activities are designed for all levels. The guide adapts the pace and difficulty to the group, so anyone in reasonable physical condition can join.
What happens if the weather is bad?
We assess conditions in the 24h before. If it's unsafe to go ahead, we'll reschedule or fully refund. Light rain usually doesn't cancel — the mountain is beautiful under clouds too.
How do I book and pay?
Book through the online form or WhatsApp. We confirm availability within 24 hours. Payment is made after confirmation via bank transfer or MB Way — nothing is charged before we confirm.
What is the cancellation policy?
Free cancellation up to 48h before the activity, with full refund. Within 48h, the date can be changed subject to availability.
What languages are the activities run in?
Our guides run the activities in Portuguese, English and Spanish. If you would prefer another language, tell us when booking and we will confirm availability.
Are the activities suitable for people with reduced mobility?
It depends on the activity. The 4x4 tours and the Douro boat tours are the most accessible, since most of the time is spent in the vehicle or on board, with short stops. Trails and night hikes involve uneven ground. Talk to us before booking and we will point you to the best option.
Do you cater for vegetarians or food allergies?
For experiences that include a meal or tasting, tell us about any dietary restrictions when booking. We confirm them in advance with the local producers and restaurants we work with.
Where do the boat tours depart from?
All our boat tours depart from Pinhão, the heart of the Douro wine region.
Where does the 4x4 start?
We can pick you up in Foz Côa, Meda or Pinhão — let us know your preference when booking.
Are tours suitable for children?
Yes. Both boat and 4x4 tours are family-friendly.
Is transport included?
Pickup and return at the meeting point are included. Hotel pickup outside the meeting points may be arranged on request.
Can I book privately?

What should I bring?
Comfortable clothes, closed shoes, sun protection, sunglasses and a camera. For sunset tours, a light jacket is a good idea.
