Guided half-day and full-day excursions from Ar de Sal along Praia do Zimbralinho, Ilhéu da Cal and Ilhéu do Ferro.
Three guided excursions — from a 2.5-hour coastal escape to a full 7-hour island adventure.
Ar de Sal is a Porto Santo, Madeira-based activity provider offering guided coastal trips that showcase the island’s shoreline and nearby islets. The operator runs three signature excursions: Escapada (2,5 horas), Descoberta (4 horas) and Aventura (7 horas). Each trip follows a route along Porto Santo’s main beach and visits natural highlights such as Praia do Zimbralinho, Ilhéu da Cal and Ilhéu do Ferro.
Trips combine water-based activities — swimming, stand-up paddleboarding (SUP), snorkeling and kayaking — with shore visits and, on longer itineraries, a scenic hike to the island lighthouse. The 2,5-hour Escapada focuses on a concise coastal experience with paddleboarding at Ilhéu da Cal and a swim at the secluded Praia do Zimbralinho. The 4-hour Descoberta adds snorkeling at Ilhéu do Ferro and paddling or kayaking in calm coves. The 7-hour Aventura builds on the shorter formats for extended exploration, more time snorkeling and paddling, and a concluding hike to the lighthouse for panoramic views.
Guides provide attentive, supervised outings and adapt activities to trip length. Ar de Sal structures departures to maximize time in sheltered waters and quiet beaches, prioritizing straightforward logistics for guests. Suitable for visitors seeking accessible water activities, short family-friendly excursions or a full-day exploration of Porto Santo’s coast, the provider offers repeated opportunities to swim, snorkel, paddle and discover secluded coastal spots under guided supervision. Ar de Sal caters to all skill levels and focuses on relaxed-paced exploration, clear-water stops and accessible shore entries for visitors of varied experience and straightforward safety briefings.
