Sobre esta atividade

Your day begins with a pickup from your Funchal area hotel or the port. Head for Funchal harbor from where the ferry boat to Porto Santo departs.

Upon arrival at Porto Santo harbor, begin your island tour in a comfortable minibus. The tour is about 2.5-hours-long and offers panoramic views of the south bay and the mountains of the north coast. Along the way your local guide offers details about the island's history and its residents, which once included the explorer Christopher Columbus.

Places visited include Calheta, a spot popular among islanders for swimming and relaxing on the sandy beach; the lush gardens of Quinta das Palmeiras, the steep, volcano-shaped Pico Castelo, the Casa da Serra cultural house, and the viewpoint at Miradouro da Portela.

At the end of the day, you are driven back to Porto Santo harbor to board the ferry back to Funchal. From there another driver takes you back to your hotel.

The tour itself was brilliant. Lots of photo opportunities and the tour guide was very informative and helpful. Saw some amazing views from high points and visited a very attractive old house. The only issue is during winter season the ferry from Funchal only does 1 run so it arrives at 10:30 and then doesn't leave until 18:00. The tour ended at about 13:00 which left me with 4 hours picked up at 17:00 to find something to do. If you're prepared or have kids you can go to the beach and catch the sun or go for a swim but I had neither so I got bored fairly quickly and just ended up walking through town and out onto the pier just staring at the amazing views. Nothing wrong with the tour or guide, just didn't know there would be such a long wait.
