The catamaran Independência docked at Porto do Funchal. Acquired in 1983, it was the fastest boat on the Madeira–Porto Santo route, cutting the journey down to about 1h30 (compared to the old Pirata Azul’s 3h30). An icon of the 80s/90s! ⚓ #MadeiraQuaseEsquecida

@Madeira So the levadas become a tourist waterpark? This is a joke, right?

Pro tip for Madeira PR levada walks: Tired of the checkpoint drama and timed-entry fees on those popular PR routes? Forget the official path... just SWIM the levada! 💦😂 #Madeira #Levadas

Straight through the crystal-clear water, zero rangers, maximum vibes. Who needs hiking boots when you can float your way past the 25 Fontes crowd? Madeira just got upgraded to "aquatic adventure mode." Tag your swim buddies who’d actually try this 👇 #Madeira #Levada
