Ventura Desertas Islands Tour

Here is a good old-fashioned boat, called “Ventura do Mar”, that will take you out to the Desertas Islands for the day. A chance to see the world’s rarest seal and to explore this natural park.

The trip to the islands is a full-day tour and on the way there and back you get the chance to see dolphins and whales. This whole day event includes a meal at lunchtime and drinks. This trip is normally done on Fridays.

You can also go out to see dolphins and whales, either in the morning or the afternoon, on any other day of the week. We also organize diving trips to the Desertas islands and at the eastern point of Madeira, Ponta do São Lourenço. For bird-watching enthusiasts, there are specialized bird-watching trips. Contact us for more info on bird-watching and diving trips.

The Ventura Desertas Islands Tour is quite popular and lasts the whole day. The three and a half-hour journey to the islands will give you the chance to observe dolphins, whales, and marine birds in their natural surroundings. Once there, you get to swim in the crystal-clear waters, followed by a typical meal onboard. After lunch, you get to go out and explore one of these islands, which is now a nature reserve. A really delightful day out. The trip may be cancelled if the weather does not permit it.
