Lisbon: Sunset Boat Party Cruise with DJ and Open Bar

1.Sunset Boat Party Cruise with DJ and Open Bar

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 10,378 reviews · 2 hours - 150 minutes · from $27Our pick

Join Stern Wind Cruises for a two-hour Tagus River party with a DJ, open bar, and sunset views of Commerce Square, the 25 de Abril Bridge, Christ the King, Belém Tower, and the Monument to the Discoveries. Check-in is at one of two riverfront points.

“The trip was fantastic! The music, drinks, atmosphere, and overall sense of safety made it a wonderful experience—we truly had an amazing time with friends. The only downside for me was that we departed from the boat at 1:45 AM, which felt quite late, and there was no guide to explain anything about the excursion. Not a single word. A lady simply led us to the boat, and from that moment on we were on our own, with no further information provided.”

Portimão: Benagil Caves Speed Boat Tour with Sunset Option

2.Benagil Caves Speed Boat Tour with Sunset Option

★★★★★★★★★★4.8 · 9,329 reviews · from $23

From Portimão, you’ll ride a nimble RIB boat past Fort Santa Catarina, Ferragudo Castle, fishing villages, sea caves, and the famous Benagil Caves. Guides such as Rui, Simon, Sergio, and Carlos add lively commentary, while the sunset option brings cooler air and glowing colors on the return.

“My daughter and I had a great time! The caves were beautiful and the scenery along the coastline was great. My only issue was that there were two guides onboard and we couldn’t hear our guide, who was speaking in English as the other guide, who was speaking in French, was too loud. Perhaps headsets would be a better alternative if there are people of two different languages aboard. Other than that, the scenery was wonderful!”

“Such a fun evening activity in Lisbon and we would highly recommend this activity. The tour is not guided, which we did not mind, but make sure to keep your eyes peeled! We stayed up on the main deck rather than sit in the netted bottom section of the catamaran, and we were SO happy we did! We were not stuck sitting and crammed the whole time, was able to walk around to get photos of things we passed, and chairs up on the deck were more than comfortable. We’d recommend this area and this tour!”

“Great experience! We wanted to try sailing boat instead of catamaran and it was a great choice. The sail was quite swinging, but that was exactly what we were looking for. We saw dolphins, we swam in the ocean near the cliffs of Cabo Girão. Timing was also great, cause you have opportunity to swim in the golden hour and see sunset as well. Unfortunately it was cloudy so we didn't see the sun at all, but obviously it's impossible to guarantee beautiful weather. Nevertheless we enjoyed it and we wouldn't chose different company. Thank you! J&KRead more”
