Portugal: Viana do Castelo is a self-directed Rowing Experience (RE) offered by our sister business Travel2Row.  An RE is a short, tailored rowing vacation, as short as a morning, as long as a week or more, depending on the destination. Choose your own travel date. Choose who you row with or find others who want to row with you.  Each destination is different, some with accommodation included and some without. For all, we supply amazing rowing. Create your personalized rowing trip with maximum flexibility and choice now.

This year-round Experience includes accommodation for five or seven nights along with breakfast at a sports hotel by a stunning beach in northern Portugal. Row the Lima River in flatwater rowing shells a few times, maybe venture out onto the Atlantic in coastal boats and enjoy a row between two countries on a day long excursion down the Minho River which forms the border between Spain and Portugal. 

 

F.A.Q

What is a Travel2Row Experience?

<p>T2R Experiences are short or long getaways tailored to the guest. Together with our partners, we provide a private rowing package for small groups (typically two, three or four rowers) with flexible date options based on the availability of boats and guide or coach. Each trip is different. For some, accommodation and some meals are included. For others, guests find their own accommodation, transportation, meals and other activities - we provide lots of recommendations.</p>

Are these self-guided trips?

<p>We are not calling them self-guided because when you are on the water you will definitely have a local guide with you in the rowing shell or on a support boat. Self-guided trips usually include accommodation and meals and perhaps other services. We offer amazing rowing and leave the rest to you to create your own perfect trip. With lots of suggestions from our own experience in a location, plus the local wisdom of our rowing partners.</p>

Are there more places to enjoy Independent Rowing Experiences?

<p>Have a look at our <a href="https://travel2row.com/destinations/">current destinations</a>. We are working on expanding the fabulous locations where you can travel to row. It takes time because Ruth checks every location and researches accommodation options and restaurant recommendations, as well as suggestions to round out your stay when you are not rowing. Sign up for our newsletter to get announcements of new destinations and other updates. If you are a rowing club or rowing destination, find out how we might partner.</p>

What is the rowing like?

<p>The rowing is typically a half day, although longer or shorter outings are possible. The exact details vary with each location. Typically the rows are more an exploratory or touring excursion. A stop on land and perhaps a meal could be built into one or many day’s program and pricing. Training or coaching sessions could also be possible. Often guests row smaller boats like singles or doubles, but coxed quads may be available. Boats could be coastal, recreational or Olympic class/fine boats.</p>

I am travelling alone. Can I join a group?

<p>Yes! There are several ways that this might happen. One is to join the <a href="https://travel2row.com/community/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">T2R Community</a> and post your interest, maybe in a destination and/or when you want to travel. We can also get the word out on social media and in newsletters. You can also ask us - we may know of a booking where the guests are willing to have others join them. Finally, we are exploring setting a few dates in the year when a group trip could run. Be sure to join the newsletter to get updates. </p>
