Welcome to Praias da Ria, where we specialize in providing unique and unforgettable boat tours in the stunning Ria de Aveiro, offering our clients a genuine connection with the natural and cultural beauty of this remarkable region.
We really enjoyed the salt marsh tour. It was wonderful 2 hours and we will definitely come back. Many thanks Christina & Torsten
If you love being a turisti you must do this experience! Very suggestive tour, with lot of explaination of history of salto marines and Fisher man. Gustavo was kind and very welcoming, truly a Great Person!
Aveiro should make this tour the official One of the Town!
We had the excellent, 2hr, Salt marsh and industrial tour. The Capt( Gustavo ) was very knowledgeable with an appreciation for the area. Far better choice from the doing the tourist fake fishing boat tours .
With Praias da Ria, you get to choose from 3 different routes that show the history and beauty of the lagoon flats.
There were even flamingos and Sea eagles on our tour.
An excellent tour and Capt.
Would definitely recommend to anyone 😀
Loved this! Goes beyond the tourist boat route to give you an overview of the salt trade and history of Aveiro with nature as a lovely backdrop. The staff is extremely welcoming & knowledgeable. Highly recommend!
We were 2 people, toured for 2 hours around the old salt lakes and Aveiro harbour. Captain very knowledgable and spike very good english. Saw a lit of nature on the trip as well as insight to ship building history and industrial areas. We were in the small boat but it was fine. Highly recommend.
I took a trip to spend a day in one of the lagoon's island (Monte Farinha island), it was GREAT!
You can't imagine the extension of the lagoon, the size and the beautiful landscapes are overwhelming.
The staff are super nice and very helpful, ready to answer to any one of your questions! They are always planing new kind of adventures/experiences for people who visit them.
I must tell you that the boat is a museum (European Museums Academy) built in 1945!
The trip takes you the coastal waterways around Aveiro. It isn't fast, but that's a good thing. The crew give great commentary in as many languages as they can. They are amazingly helpful and a lot of fun. Forget the boring canal trips and do this!
Cruise the water ways see nature in its natural setting, learn the history of the area by sea. On board refreshments available. Large group can book catering to have on cruise Friendly crew would recommend to anyone.
Thank you Michael and Gustavo for this unforgettable moment. I recommend everyone to go and see them rather than the tourist trap barges. Take the 2h tour and have fun
Gustavo was fantastic. Our 45 minute tour turned into several hours of seeing the lagoon, salt works, fish farms, etc. He was very knowledgeable of the history of the area. Can't rate him highly enough.
It is said to be the only one in the whole country, but it impresses with the beauty of the landscape and nature
We have done the two-hour tour that shows the "industry and nature of the river" and it has been truly interesting and illustrative. It is very much worth doing this excursion.
The attention of the staff and the trip deserves a 10
