THE BEST TOURS IN PORTO SANTO

MAR DOURADO

Located on the island of Porto Santo, Madeira, Portugal, Mar Dourado was established in 2004. Initially focused on water sports activities, it later expanded to offer boat tours and recreational fishing, which are its exclusive services today. The activities are carried out using three semi-rigid boats, allowing customers to fully enjoy the trips by getting close to the coast, exploring bays along the west coast, and swimming in unique spots with turquoise blue waters.

It is important to us that customers not only leave our trips enchanted by the landscapes but also knowledgeable about the history and geology of the places we visit. We also make sure to offer a small tasting of local and regional products. During the boat tour, guests can enjoy typical local pastries such as "broas" and Madeira wine. On the tour to the Farol Islet, we provide traditional "bolo do caco" (a type of bread) and other local delicacies.

Nice to have the speed on the open water, great to have a chance at snorkelling in warm seas. Lovely to have a drink and biscuit. Great transfer service! We even looked for whales and dolphins on the journey from the coves to the snorkelling area. Our guide was lovely and charming.
