    Angenehme Bootsfahrt. Optionaler Badestop vor der Küste. Delphinbeobachtung hat sich auf 5 Minuten, in denen ein paar Flossen ab und an aus dem Wasser hervorragten, aus einiger Entfernung beschränkt. Aus Tierschutzsicht sicher gut, aber ist nicht unbedingt das, was man sich vorstellt.

    Auf der Rückfahrt war es extrem kalt, viele Passagiere haben gefroren. Vielleicht könnte man in dieser Jahreszeit Decken verteilen.

    Gentille croisière en catamaran lent, potentiellement beaucoup de monde, jusqu'à 200 personnes. Sympathique mais il faut de la chance pour que des dauphins soient réellement visibles car bateau lent.

Nat Geo Day Tour: Local Farm Experience on Madeira’s Terraced Hills

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.
