What to expect

The mysterious Desertas Islands, which you can see from Funchal on a clear day, no longer need to be a mystery. On this full day cruise from Funchal marina, you'll enjoy a guided tour of this nature reserve on arrival and have the opportunity to swim in the open sea with lunch on board.This cruise combines discovery with the perfect amount of relaxation as soon as you set sail to the Desertas Islands. Home to only wildlife and seabirds, the islands remain uninhabited, so as you wander round on a guided visit, you'll feel truly at one with nature.The journey there and back may also throw in a few surprises as you might be joined by dolphins, turtles or whales, and on our way back we'll stop in a picturesque location for lunch. You'll also have the chance to cool off with a swim or simply stay on board the gulet boat and relax before heading back to shore.

Excellent

We loved this trip! It was great to have the opportunity to get over to the Desertas Islands. The traditional Gulet boat was lovely and we were greeted with a small Madeira wine. We were lucky to see dolphins very early into our trip he the captain stopped to give plenty of time for photos. The sail over was very calm and lunch was delicious. I saw sea lions, did some snorkelling and then saw pilot whales on the way back. I would only say that they need a bigger dinghy!

Great

Nice day trip, a bit rough on the way out, but that's no one's fault opportunity to get off at the islands or stay on the boat after a fresh cooked lunch would advise anyone going to pack a windproof coat as it can get very choppy Staff were very friendly and helpful
