In a few words

In the heart of the Atlantic Ocean, the islands of Madeira and Porto Santo are a haven of natural beauty. The exotic colors of the flowers stand out against the blue of the sea and the emerald green of the vegetation. This archipelago, two-thirds of which is a protected area, is home to the largest laurel forest in the world. Here, you can dive in one of the most privileged spots in Europe for this sport. Madeira's temperate, crystal-clear waters allow you to dive in its nature reserves and observe numerous species, such as cnidarians like anemones and black coral, fish like groupers, moray eels, and rays, or—if you're lucky—even sea lions, the monk seals, the rarest in the world.

The highlights

  • Discover Madeira and its lush green nature, an enchanting setting for your diving trip
  • Immerse yourself in one of Europe's most privileged locations to practice this sport.
  • A day dedicated to exploring the island with a private guide

Program details

In the heart of the Atlantic, the islands of Madeira and Porto Santo are a haven of natural beauty. The exotic colors of the flowers stand out against the blue of the sea and the emerald green of the vegetation. It is an archipelago, two-thirds of which is a protected area, and home to the largest Laurisilva forest in the world.

The spring-like temperatures, felt year-round, are perfect for outdoor activities. You can stroll along the network of levadas (irrigation channels), visit the city of Funchal and discover its heritage associated with the Age of Discoveries, or wander freely around the island. Boat trips are an excellent way to admire the coastline from a different perspective.

Diving from Funchal

You will have the immense pleasure of diving in the magnificent, crystal-clear waters off the coast of Madeira. For those who love diving, this island holds charms you won't want to miss.

    A great diving and sightseeing trip to Madeira, but in hindsight, poorly organized. The advertised itinerary didn't match what actually happened: for example, a dive was scheduled for Sunday when the dive center was closed. I received no information about the day's island tour; I only had the departure time and the company providing it. Therefore, I didn't know lunch was included. Also, the price didn't reflect the service and quality of the trip.
