Activity itinerary

Calheta (Pass by)
Calheta is a charming coastal town known for its golden sandy beach, crystal-clear waters, and vibrant marina. As you embark on your journey from here, you’ll sail past rugged cliffs, hidden sea caves, and picturesque fishing villages along Madeira’s breathtaking southern coast. Keep an eye out for dolphins and marine life, frequently spotted in these waters. The journey offers an unforgettable blend of natural beauty and maritime heritage.
Ribeira Brava (Pass by)
Ribeira Brava is a lively coastal town on Madeira’s south coast, known for its beautiful seaside promenade, historic church, and dramatic mountain backdrop. Its name, meaning “wild river,” comes from the stream that runs through the town and occasionally swells after heavy rains. With a mix of local shops, cafés, and a relaxed atmosphere, Ribeira Brava is a great spot to explore Madeira’s culture and enjoy scenic ocean views.
Ponta Do Sol (Pass by)
Ponta do Sol is one of Madeira’s most charming villages, known for having the most sunshine on the island. Nestled between the mountains and the sea, it offers stunning views, picturesque streets, and a peaceful atmosphere. The sunsets here are especially magical, making it a favorite spot to relax and soak in the island’s natural beauty.
Faja dos Padres (Pass by)
Fajã dos Padres is a hidden gem along Madeira’s southern coast, nestled at the foot of towering cliffs and only accessible by boat or cable car. This secluded spot offers lush gardens, organic plantations, and a peaceful beach perfect for a swim or relaxing under the sun. Rich in history and natural beauty, Fajã dos Padres provides a unique glimpse into Madeira’s agricultural heritage and a tranquil escape from the bustle of the city—an unforgettable stop on any sea tour.
Camara De Lobos (Pass by)
Câmara de Lobos is a picturesque fishing village on Madeira’s south coast, famous for its colorful boats, steep terraced hillsides, and strong local traditions. Winston Churchill once painted its scenic bay, captivated by its charm. The town is also known for producing poncha, a traditional Madeiran drink, and for its vibrant atmosphere filled with local life. Surrounded by banana plantations and vineyards, Câmara de Lobos offers an authentic taste of Madeira’s coastal culture.
Funchal (Pass by)
Starting your Sea Bus journey from Funchal, the heart of Madeira, you’ll enjoy a stunning departure from the island’s most iconic bay. With its blend of historic architecture, lush green hills, and lively waterfront, Funchal offers a perfect mix of culture and scenery. As the boat cruises along the coastline, you’ll pass by Câmara de Lobos, Cabo Girão (Europe’s highest sea cliff) (if you choose west side), and the pristine coastal villages leading toward Calheta or Caniçal. Expect breathtaking ocean views, with opportunities to spot sea birds, dolphins, and even whales along the way, or not, after all, they are wild and free!
