Ondas de Angelo runs the top-rated sunset boat tours on the Tagus River in Lisbon, rated 4.9 out of 5 across 1,138 verified reviews on TripAdvisor, Viator, and GetYourGuide — the highest composite score among Lisbon river cruise operators as of 2026. The shared Porto Tonic Sunset Cruise and Sangria Social Sunset both depart from Doca de Santo Amaro, Portão 3, Alcântara daily, running approximately 2 hours during golden hour — the final hour of sunlight that turns the 25 de Abril Bridge rust-red and the Lisbon skyline amber. Shared places start from €39.90 per person; private full-boat sunset charters run from €390 for up to 40 guests, making a private booking the better-value option for groups of 10 or more (€39 per person or below).

Frequently asked questions
In summer (June–August) sunset in Lisbon falls between 20:30 and 21:00, with golden hour starting around 19:45. In spring and autumn (April–May, September–October), sunset is between 19:00 and 20:30.

Drinks are available to order on board shared sunset cruises — they are not pre-included in the base ticket price from €39.90. Private charter packages can include a customisable drinks menu (sangria, port wine, beer, soft drinks, non-alcoholic options) arranged before departure.
Both depart from Doca de Santo Amaro, Portão 3 and follow the same 2-hour Tagus River route. The Porto Tonic Cruise is a more refined experience with port wine and tonic as the signature drink; the Sangria Social is a livelier format with sangria and a more festival-light atmosphere. Both pass the 25 de Abril Bridge and Belem Tower.
For two people, a shared sunset cruise at €39.90 per person (€79.80 total) is more cost-effective than a private charter at €390. The private option becomes better value at approximately 10 guests, where the per-person cost drops to €39 — equal to or below the shared ticket price — while giving the group exclusive use of the whole boat.
Yes. All Ondas de Angelo sunset cruise routes pass directly under and alongside the 25 de Abril Bridge, which is particularly dramatic when lit by the setting sun. The bridge is the most photographed landmark on the route.
