This tour was my boyfriends favorite part of our 15 day trip across Portugal (Madeira, Algarve, Porto, Lisbon, Nazare) and London, England. The other 3 of us on this trip loved it too but struggle more to pick ONE favorite when we saw so much. Super easy to find parking (2 euros) when we went in October right beside the checkin booth. Easy to find checkin booth and easy to checkin. We were able to pay the tourist tax at the booth which was great because we were struggling to do it online. We upgraded for 9 euros to get the cave tour as this is simply the ferry. Was worth it cause it carts you to the other side of the island. Although the island was small and it would have been fine to walk, the island was so pretty we wanted to the extra time to be on the water/beaches rather than “hiking” from above. The “hike” was doable in crocs in good sunny weather and like 15-30min with a quick staircase and flat across the rest so “hike” is an overstatement and it’s more of a walk.

The only problem was that 4 hours wasn’t enough time to fully enjoy the island. I would have preferred a couple more hours to swim on the beach after exploring. Glass bottom cave tour was totally great. Guides were fantastic and made sure no one was getting seasick on the way over. Very pleasant experience and the island is a must-see

A ilha era linda. Porém, as ondas não devem ser negligenciadas na travessia do mar de ferry. As ondas estavam tão fortes no caminho que muitas pessoas ficaram enjoadas e tiveram que cuspir. A equipe cuidou dos passageiros com muito carinho.
