We have actually still not been to the deserted islands, Ilhas Desertas, but we have been wanting to go for so long. Regardless of that, we know it's worth going. The cheapest and probably best solution is to book a spot on a catamaran. The best company to go with is VMT Madeira.

There is nothing on this island hence its name, but it's uncharted territory so it will be a very special experience. Plus with the catamaran you will be able to enjoy the crystal clear waters with snorkling equipment and standup paddling.
