Ilhéus da Madalena

★★★★☆ (433)

Two islands directly in front of Madalena, which were formed during a volcanic eruption. Between the two islands lies the sunken crater. In and on the lava fingers the most diverse fish can be admired. A swimthrough through the longer "lying" island is also possible.

The vegetation is, typical for the region, very scarce. But in the waves of the tides, the most diverse fish can be discovered. Triggerfish, moray eels, rays, etc...
