Guadiana River cruise with a barbecue

4.5/5
49 reviews

As the natural border between Spain and Portugal, the River Guadiana cuts through areas of natural beauty. You'll navigate your way upriver from Vila Real de Santo António to Foz de Odeleite and Quinta do Rio, where you'll enjoy a barbecue and live music.

Once you arrive at Vila Real de Santo António, you'll board the boat ready for a relaxing cruise up the Guadiana. Take a seat and enjoy the passing scenery and once we reach the timeless village Foz de Odeleite, we'll anchor up, and you can stroll around at your own pace. Back on board, we'll cruise a bit further to Quinta do Rio.

Here you'll have views over the river and village, and you'll even be able to cool down with a swim and a drink at the bar. We'll then serve up a barbecue lunch, complete with local wine and live music in the background. The rest of the afternoon is for relaxing on the sun terrace and cruising back downriver.

    This was a beautiful and enjoyable cruise along the river that separates Spain from Portugal. "Rustic" folk show and tasty lunch included. Loved it!

    Food and drinks in the restaurant were plentiful and unlimited and their staff were excellent. Good atmosphere and fun on the riverboat trip home. The outbound trip was a little dull and we were not told that we needed passports which caused us difficulties at the checkpoint. If we hadn’t had a photo of our passports on our phones, we would not have been allowed to continue the excursion.

    We got to the hotel reception area 15 mins before the scheduled pick up time of 0910. A mini bus was already waiting but had no TUI sign and the driver could not communicate in English. We showed our e-ticket and he showed us his passenger sheet. There were two names shown for The Playa Garden Natural hotel but not our names. He made a phone call, spoke to the man on reception and drove off. We contacted TUI and are still awaiting a refund.
