experiences

Located in Álvaro, in the municipality of Oleiros, Floating Álvaro invites you to discover the beauty and tranquility of the Zêzere River aboard a sightseeing boat with capacity for thirteen people.

The mission of Floating Álvaro is to provide unique and unforgettable experiences in close contact with nature. Here, every trip is designed to offer moments of leisure and togetherness in a peaceful and secluded setting, allowing you to explore special corners of the river, watch the sunset from a different perspective, and observe birds that inhabit its banks.

It’s a journey across dozens of kilometers of calm, relaxing waters, from Cambas (Oleiros) to the Cabril Dam (Pedrógão Grande), also passing through the municipality of Pampilhosa da Serra.

The values of Floating Álvaro focus on comfort and well-being, creating a welcoming atmosphere on board; tranquility and quietness, cherishing the peace and silence of the landscape; and respect for nature, ensuring that every moment unfolds in harmony with the surrounding environment.

More than just a boat trip, Floating Álvaro is an immersion in the heart of the Zêzere, where every image, every sound, and every moment are etched in memory.
