When the tide goes out, there's only one place to be on Porto Santo – the natural pools of Porto de Salemas. This half-day tour takes you to the north of the island so that you can wallow in these tidal lagoons and admire the rugged coastline. And to round off the experience, you'll get to taste local specialities such as honey biscuits, honey cake and Madeira wine.

See colourful underwater wildlife around the wreck of the Maria Cristina, and visit the natural reserve of Ilheu de Cima.
