What to expect on this Tour?
We begin our journey at the Quinta das Palmeiras, a green oasis that contrasts with the island's arid landscape, offering tranquility amidst nature. Next, we visit the Casa de Cristóvão Colombo, where we dive into the explorer’s history and his connection to the island. Afterward, we pause for lunch at Tábua Rasa, a restaurant that delights us with delicious and creative dishes made with local ingredients. Following lunch, we head to the Dunas de Porto Santo, one of the island's most iconic symbols, with its golden sands and unique scenery. We finish our day at Porto das Salemas, a natural haven perfect for relaxing, admiring rock formations, and enjoying crystal-clear waters.
