The 15 Evening Experiences in Portugal That Earn Their Price

Lisbon: Sunset Boat Party Cruise with DJ and Open Bar - What the $27 price really includes

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

Dance into Lisbon’s sunset on a Tagus River boat party with DJ, open bar, landmark views, and a friendly international crowd for $27.

“SO MUCH FUN I wish I could do this every day of my life. It did take a while to get us all on the boat though and they ended up pushing back our departure 30 minutes so we still got a full 2 hours on the boat however I would definitely keep that in mind in case you are making a dinner reservation hour or something. Also our boat ended up departing at 6:30 and it was the perfect timing for the sunset in early October.”

Madeira: Funchal Sunset Tour by Catamaran

15.Funchal Sunset Tour by Catamaran

★★★★★★★★★★4.4 · 1,200 reviews · 3 hours · from $47

Cruise from Funchal at sunset, watch for dolphins and whales, swim below Cabo Girão, and enjoy three calm hours on Madeira’s Atlantic coast.

“Tour guides were very insightful and professional and saw lots of dolphins! Overall definitely recommend going! As well as that loads of photo opportunities etc! 30 minutes before hand is a bit of a stretch but if you want to get the best seats then it is definitely worth it! When going against the waves it can make you feel a bit queasy so If you suffer from travel sickness or sea sickness I’d take some tablets before hand! Going with the waves is perfectly fine though!”
