There is a ferry in the morning and a return ferry in the evening. The crossing takes 2h30. You&#8217;ll discover that Porto Santo is a very different island from Madeira. The mountains are lower and don&#8217;t block the clouds. As a result, the island is much drier. There are large sandy beaches, dunes, organ pipes and natural pools. We loved this day!<\/p>\n\n<p>On the way to Porto Santo, you can appreciate the Madeira coast in the morning light: in the distance, we recognized Funchal, the Ponta do Garajau, the east coast and the Ponta de S\u00e3o Louren\u00e7o.<\/p>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/photos.smugmug.com\/Madeira-Lovers\/Porto-Santo\/Porto-Santo-Ferry\/i-tKgqPzW\/1\/LQZG6X8JbQbVMvdjWmz5gXXwNtJWc2pXhMNNcdpSh\/L\/Porto_Santo_ferry_Madeira-7183904-L.jpg\" alt=\"boat trip madeira - boat trip porto santo\"\/><\/figure>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Practical information<\/h3>\n\n<p><strong>Embarking for Porto Santo<\/strong> is also an opportunity to experience the ferry.

During these months, temperatures are warmer and sea conditions are often more favorable, allowing you to take full advantage of the coastal scenery and marine wildlife viewing. It&#8217;s also the ideal time to watch whales and dolphins, as these species migrate to the warmer waters around the island. Although sightings are possible all year round thanks to the presence of resident species, the summer months offer optimal visibility and calmer seas, making the experience even more enjoyable.<\/p>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\"

tour over a land tour?<\/h3>\n\n<p>We believe that boat excursions in Madeira offer several advantages over land tours:<\/p>\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>First of all, they&#8217;ll let you admire spectacular coastal scenery that can&#8217;t be appreciated from land. Sailing along majestic cliffs such as those at Cabo Gir\u00e3o, you&#8217;ll enjoy breathtaking views of the Atlantic Ocean and wild bays accessible only by sea.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Secondly, these outings offer unique opportunities to observe marine wildlife, including dolphins and whales in their natural habitat. These moments of interaction with nature will make your stay unforgettable.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Finally, boat excursions often include activities such as swimming and snorkeling, and sometimes a meal on board.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/photos.smugmug.com\/Madeira-Lovers\/Boat-tour\/Catamaran-Cabo-Girao\/i-PmRcLzL\/0\/K2gmDScmm5bQ9J5pCRBkWzF9s7SZhDpQrvdNcnWzt\/L\/catamaran_cabo_Girao_boat_Tour_Madeira-7204514-L.jpg\" alt=\"boat trip madeira - pov bateau\"\/><\/figure>\n\n<div style=\"margin-top:8%;margin-bottom:8%\" class=\"wp-block-genesis-blocks-gb-container box gb-block-container\"><div class=\"gb-container-inside\"><div class=\"gb-container-content\" style=\"max-width:700px\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-genesis-blocks-gb-container box_titre gb-block-container\"><div class=\"gb-container-inside\"><div class=\"gb-container-content\">\n<h5 class=\"titre_box\">PLAN YOUR STAY IN <span class=\"titre_box_manuscrit\">Madeira<\/span><\/h5>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-text-color has-alpha-channel-opacity has-background is-style-wide hr-box-planif\" style=\"background-color:#ccd3dd;color:#ccd3dd\"\/>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns box_sans_border is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-9d6595d7 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column texte_planif is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"font-size:14px;flex-basis:60%\">\n<p class=\"option_titre2\"><strong>Best of<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-size:16px\"><a href=\"https:\/\/madeiralovers.com\/en\/best-things-to-do-madeira-attractions\/\">Things to do in Madeira<\/a><br\/><a href=\"https:\/\/madeiralovers.com\/en\/best-viewpoints-madeira-miradouros\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Most beautiful viewpoints<\/a><br\/><a href=\"https:\/\/madeiralovers.com\/en\/best-beaches-madeira\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Madeira&#8217;s most beautiful beaches<\/a><br\/><a href=\"https:\/\/madeiralovers.com\/en\/best-gardens-madeira\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Most beautiful gardens<\/a><br\/><a href=\"https:\/\/madeiralovers.com\/en\/natural-pools-madeira\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Natural pools<\/a><br\/><a href=\"https:\/\/madeiralovers.com\/en\/best-hikes-madeira-walks\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Most beautiful hikes<\/a><br\/><a href=\"https:\/\/madeiralovers.com\/en\/most-beautiful-roads-madeira\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Most beautiful roads<\/a><br\/><a href=\"https:\/\/madeiralovers.com\/en\/hidden-gems-madeira-secret-places\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Secret places<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-vertically-aligned-top planif-radius is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:40%\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large img-portrait\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/photos.smugmug.com\/Travel\/Madeira\/13d-Rocha-do-Navio\/i-T3f6J48\/2\/d3DHMbHtwPMz7Tj9qDPmRxGpbxx5RBRCr4LrPp2c\/S\/Roacha_do_Navio_cable_car_Madeira-7241164-S.jpg\" alt=\"Navia Rock\" title=\"\"\/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-text-color has-alpha-channel-opacity has-background is-style-wide hr-box-planif\" style=\"background-color:#ccd3dd;color:#ccd3dd\"\/>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns box_sans_border is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-9d6595d7 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column texte_planif is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"font-size:14px;flex-basis:60%\">\n<p class=\"option_titre\"><strong>Practical advice<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-size:16px\"><a href=\"https:\/\/madeiralovers.com\/en\/how-to-get-around-madeira-transport\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Getting around Madeira<\/a><br\/><a href=\"https:\/\/madeiralovers.com\/en\/renting-car-madeira-tips-experiences\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Rent a car in Madeira<\/a><br\/><a href=\"https:\/\/madeiralovers.com\/en\/driving-madeira-tips\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Driving in Madeira<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-size:16px\"><a href=\"https:\/\/madeiralovers.com\/en\/where-to-stay-madeira-best-areas\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Where to stay in Madeira<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-size:16px\">Itineraries: 3 days &#8211;
