Another must-do activity is to visit Porto Santo – known as the 'golden island' due to its golden sandy beaches, which stand out from the black sand and pebbles typical of Madeira's natural beaches.
The ship 'Lobo Marinho,' a type of 'mini-cruise,' allows you to cross from the port of Funchal.
The vessel has a capacity for 1,150 passengers and 145 cars, and the trip between the two islands takes two hours and 20 minutes. The journey is comfortable, with amenities including bars, a restaurant, a game lounge, a cinema, a children’s play area, a gift shop, and a first-class section.
If you prefer, you can also travel by plane and reach Porto Santo in 15 minutes.
