About this experience

Drone Photography in Ponta da Calheta is a guided aerial photography session on the western coast of Porto Santo. The activity takes place at the island’s longest sandy beach, where the golden sand meets the Atlantic surf. Pilots receive a pre-flight briefing on local airspace rules and safe take-off zones before capturing the shoreline from above.

What to expect

Session duration is 90 minutes, including 30 minutes of flight time over the beach and adjacent cliffs.
A certified drone pilot provides hands-on assistance with camera settings, framing, and flight patterns for both beginners and experienced flyers.
Participants receive a 4K video file and 10 edited still images of their own footage, delivered via digital download within 48 hours.
The launch point is a flat, open area beside the Calheta beach car park, with wind shelters and shade available during setup.
Suitable for solo travellers, couples, or small groups of up to four people; no prior drone licence is required for the session.
