  • Sunset Boat Ride on Guadiana River

    We had a fantastic time on the sunset river ride with Max and his Portuguese ‘rescue trained’ water dog. We were a family of 5, including 3 teenage girls, and we all enjoyed the experience. The hour spent on the water was serene, magical and exhilarating! There is parking available on site. We would not hesitate in recommending this trip to others, and look forward to booking other experiences with them in the future. 10/10 from us!
