What a national treasure! We took the BerlengasTur boat to the island and had a very positive experience. It was a large boat with plenty of seats with great views.

A bit of advice though, shade is almost none existent on sunny days. Fabulous beach and good food in both the fort and harbour. Use the glass bottom boats to get to the fort unless you enjoy a pleasant walk over a slightly large...
