# Half Day Madeira Island Cruise with Lunch

**Guidekin's take:** An all inclusive half day cruise along the coast with a homemade buffet lunch, unlimited drinks, snorkelling gear and hotel pickup already in the price, with commentary on the sights as you pass. The route stays close to shore, so it is a lunch cruise rather than a wildlife hunt. 4.87 from 92 reviews at €70 per person.

## Overview

Enjoy a stress-free all-inclusive boat trip from start to finish with hotel pickup and drop-off included. Step aboard and settle into a comfortable spot in the sun or shade as you cruise across the waters. Feel the ocean breeze, listen to the waves, and take in the stunning coastal views with unlimited drinks available throughout the trip. While cruising close to the coastline, enjoy onboard commentary about famous tourist spots, local curiosities, and interesting facts about the area along the way.

Make a stop at the beautiful Calhau da Lapa, a picturesque spot perfect for swimming and snorkeling surrounded by dramatic cliffs and natural scenery. Explore the underwater world using the provided snorkeling mask and snorkel before your swim. After your swim, use the onboard small shower head to rinse off the saltwater before relaxing back on deck.

Continue the experience with a freshly prepared buffet lunch featuring chicken, pork, and tuna fish, with sides of rice, potatoes, and salad, along with alcoholic beverages, soft drinks, and refreshments all included. Finish your meal with dessert and coffee while relaxing at sea and soaking up the views.

Spend the day swimming, snorkeling, eating, drinking, and unwinding on the water before returning comfortably to your hotel.
