Pay attention where the driver is taking you, most drivers don’t know the city and follow blindly the app. DO NOT go to Alcântara dock, for some reason ubers tend to drop you at Alcântara dock, which is the neighbouring dock and is 15 min away by walk, make them go all the way to the drop off point.
Self driving
Car drivers have free car parking, 12 minute walk away from the meeting point. Or at 1 minute walk away paid car parking.
Public transportation
This is the cheapest way. Depending where you are, the route can take many forms.
From city centre or east side usually ends up going to Cais do Sodré (usually by metro/subway) and from there you have plenty of options:
- TRAIN (Cascais Line) and 2 stops later exit on Alcântara-Mar station, go for the south/riverside exit. At arrival to the docks, head towards south/river where is the meeting point location. This option is traffic free
- BUS 728 and 5 stops later, exit on Alcântara-Mar stop, go through the tunnel under the train line to the south/riverside exit. At arrival to the docks, head towards south/river where is the meeting point location. BE AWARE OF THE TRAFFIC
- SHARED Bikes and scooters are the best option for door to door, but you need basic navigation skills. Follow the bike road all the way to the the second dock, that is just under the bridge. If you end up with the bridge on your back, you’re in the wrong way!
From west side, the train (Cascais Line) usually is the best way. Exit on Alcântara-Mar station, go for the south/riverside exit. At arrival to the docks, head towards south/river where is the meeting point location.
What’s Available
- Restroom/WC is 120m away and opens at 9am.
- Restaurants after the experience there is a good amount of places for lunch.
Final considerations
- Bring warm clothes, like a jacket, a hoodie is the bare minimum, as a sweater will fall short. Even if it’s +30ºC on land! Think that you’re going on an chairlift to the top of a mountain 2000m high in summer (1000m in winter). Read our bad reviews, it’s all about the cold!
- Plan your trip to arrive 15 min EARLIER of the scheduled departure time. Excuses like “so much traffic” or “no ubers available” are getting too old!
- Avoid drinking too much before the expedition as there is no toilet on the boat.
- Sunscreen, even if is a cloudy/foggy day, from Spring to Autumn the sun burns
