Guaíba River Tour in Porto Alegre

By , About.com Guide

About the Guaíba River Tour:

Life in Porto Alegre never strays too far from the Guaíba River. The tour aboard the Cisne Branco (White Swan) is a cool way to view the city from the water, whether at daytime or at night.

The hour-long tour takes you by the river islands - Ilha das Flores, Ilha do Castelhano and others - before returning to the docks. You can also enjoy a longer tour (two hours) with lunch.

During the three-hour Luzes da Cidade (City Lights) tour, have a buffet dinner and dance on a floating dance floor.

From October to March, catch the southbound Happy Hour tour for a view of the famous Guaíba River sunset.
