One-Day Cruise to Porto Santo Island
A fantastic
One-Day Cruise to Porto Santo Island located 75km northeast of Funchal, in the North Atlantic Ocean. Porto Santo is the second largest island of the Madeira archipelago (total area: 41 km2). It has an amazing extensive beach with 9 km of golden sand.
It is said that here, time seems to run slower and all concerns disappear. In Madeira, the warm Gulf Stream softens the climate and the temperature of the seawater is very pleasant. Even when it rains in the summer, the beach is still inviting.
