What to expect

There's an island just 50km away from Madeira with beaches that stretch for miles and warm, turquoise waters that look too good to be true. It's the tiny island of Porto Santo, and this tour will have you hopping on a plane to explore this enigmatic place in just one day.

It's a quick 15-minute flight from Funchal before you'll be off discovering the island of Porto Santo. After landing, you'll head straight for an introductory bus tour. Skirt below the jagged peaks of the north and edge through areas dotted with windmills that were once used for agriculture. During the journey, you'll head to viewpoints with all-encompassing panoramas of Porto Santo's distinctive landscape.

Lunch will then be served at a restaurant near the beach before you're dropped off in the main town of Vila Baleira. Visit Christopher Columbus's House or take yourself off to the fine sandy beach for a swim during some free time. Afterwards, you'll be picked up in time to catch your flight back to Funchal.

Nat Geo Day Tour: Sustainable Agriculture in Quinta Pedagógica da Camacha

Nat Geo Day Tour: Sustainable Agriculture in Quinta Pedagógica da Camacha

Drive through Funchal's bustling town and Madeira's magnificent rolling hills towards Quinta Pedagogica da Camacha, a small farm committed to sustainable agriculture. Here, your National Geographic-trained guide will offer insights into the region and introduce you to the farm's owner, Bruno Santos. Having left accounting for agriculture, Bruno now dedicates his life to helping his neighborhood through sustainable farming, a lowered environmental footprint, and community outreach. Follow Bruno through flowering groves as you explore the grounds. You'll learn about the many uses for their freshly grown herbs and visit their strawberry plantation. Observe the fields and poios—what Madeirans call the terraced areas where they grow their crops—as you learn about the farm's produce and animal husbandry. The farm is home to various animals including chickens, goats, sheep, and more. There's even a small market Bruno created, to help other local vendors reach their greater community, inspired by the ‘buy local' mantra. You'll also experience a host of seasonal activities, offered exclusively to National Geographic travelers. Harvest ripe fruits and learn the proper techniques for sowing seeds in a planting workshop. This hands-on learning environment brings Bruno's sustainability and bio-friendly philosophy to life. Afterwards, you'll relax and enjoy refreshing tea brewed from the farm's own herbs, as well as homemade cakes, toast, and jams preserved from local fruits.
