Bilbao & Portugalete Boat Tour

We'll meet up at the pier of the Plaza Pío Baroja to embark on a boat ride across the Ría de Bilbao to Portugalete.

As soon as we get on board, we'll give you a QR code so you can access your audio guide and listen to fun facts about the history of these Basque municipalities. As we sail along, you'll be surrounded by wonderful century-old architecture, the university buildings, the Paseo de la Memoria and the stunning Guggenheim Museum.

We'll get closer to the sea as we leave the centre of Bilbao and Barakaldo behind. We'll then pass by Portugalete and enjoy some of the monuments from the boat, such as the Evaristo de Churruca or the small Rialia Museum.

Finally, we'll reach the end of the iron quay in Portugalete, between Getxo and Santurtzi. Prepare to see incredible views!

Then, we'll pass under Bizkaia Bridge again and, after 2 hours of sailing, we'll end the activity back at the starting point in Bilbao.
