Vapor do Vinho in Petrolina is highly regarded for its well-organized combination of viticulture and river exploration. Visitors frequently praise the lively atmosphere on the boat, which features live music and an energetic vibe. The tour of the Miolo winery is noted for being educational, with professional enologists guiding the tastings and explaining the production process. Many reviewers highlight the swim stop at Ilha do Amor as a refreshing and delightful part of the itinerary. However, some guests caution against going on rainy days, as the boat can become noisy and cramped when outdoor decks are unusable and the island stop is canceled. Overall, it is described as a joyful, must-do experience for anyone visiting the São Francisco Valley.
