Overview

The lenght of the tour will strongly depend on the group.

Zimbralinho Kayak Tour:
A tour that starts at Calheta Beach, visits Zimbralinho beach, and return. On the way you will enjoy the beautiful volcanic rock formations. Using a kayak you may get a better perspective to Porto Santo´s volcanic rock formations. Safe for children.
