2.Lisbon Sunset Sailing with Portuguese Wine and History

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 668 reviews · 2 hours (approx.) · from $54Best value

Set out from Doca de Santo Amaro for a two-hour shared sail on the Tagus. Guides such as Pedro and David point out Lisbon landmarks, while Vinho Verde, iced tea, water, snacks, and blankets keep the ride relaxed. The boat carries no more than 14 people.

“This was a wonderful experience on the last night of our trip. The sailing was very peaceful, the weather perfect, and wine plentiful. Karolina was very helpful. Any other time I’d be disappointed by not learning enough about the building gs we were sailing by but this time I was happy just enjoying the peaceful beauty.”
