A great adventure - I chose Ventura to take me to the Ilhas Desertas because I was told they provide a marine biologist on board, and that most bird watchers choose to go with them. I clearly did not read the description of what I booked, and I was pleasantly surprised to see were using a nice 15 m sailing vessel to get to the island! The deck space is laid out well with plenty of space and nice cushions. There is a toilet on board. The crew were great and they quickly made us feel at home in our home for the day. The sail, the swim, the tour on the island were all fab. The only thing I would say is that your time on the island is limited, I tried to book the two day tour, but they did not run it this week, but if you have the time I think the two day trip would be a proper adventure! Lunch was very good, and as a vegetarian I was especially catered for! We saw plenty of birds and cetaceans but the highlight for me were the 40 or so striped dolphins, maybe I should book a whale watching trip next 🤔.
