    All about the Desertas Islands Trip (May-October).

    Take a boat trip to the DESERTAS ISLANDS OF MADEIRA, composed of 3 uninhabited islands located approximately 24.14 kilometres (15 miles) southeast of Madeira. The Desertas Islands are a NATURAL RESERVE, part of Natura 2000 and a European Biogenetic Reserve aimed to preserve one of the last refuges of the rarest MONK SEAL “Monachus monachus” species. The islands are also an important SEABIRD SANCTUARY. On approaching the Desertas, we will follow along the coast, giving you a chance to enjoy the unique scenery. We will moor at Doca, where you can swim and relax, after which we will lunch a hot and delicious meal on board (included in the price). After lunch, we’ll invite you to disembark and visit Deserta Grande Island, guided by an expert guide. BOOK NOW!
