Portimão Portimao to Silves Boat Trip?
Posted: Tue January 13, 2009 01:45 PM UTC
I understand that there is a boat trip that you can take from Portimao to Silves, but I haven't been able to find any detailed information on it. Does anyone have contact information, website information, prices, sailing times, etc.? We'll be in Portimao on 4/13/2009 on the HAL Noordam.

There are several little boats that go upriver to Silves. They leave from the quayside close to the (closed) bridge. That's about 1km up river from where the cruise ships dock and you will see the place easily.

I have some doubt as to whether they operate in April, but you might be lucky. A lot depends on the weather - they won't go if it is wet and miserable like it is as I write.

I know that some are all day cruises but there are some that may take an afternoon only. I haven't any prices to hand but here's a website that will give you a start:

or this rather meagre offering

or this one

Hope that helps
