Highlights
  • Câmara de Lobos - The tour begins in Câmara de Lobos, a traditional fishing village that became known internationally through a painting by Sir Winston Churchill.
    The landscape of this city is marked by the presence of characteristic fishing boats, called “Xavelhas”.
  • Cabo Girao - We will go to the Cabo Girão viewpoint, with the famous glass suspended platform - “skywalk”, currently one of the most visited tourist attractions.
    Cabo Girão is the highest promontory in Europe at 580 meters high.
    The Cabo Girão viewpoint offers an unparalleled perspective over the cities of Câmara de Lobos and Funchal.
  • Seixal - Where you can see the emblematic Véu da Noiva Waterfall, whose beauty can be admired from the Véu da Noiva viewpoint.
    Allow yourself to admire this abundant waterfall that bursts from the vegetation-covered hillside, projecting towards the sea.
    An emblematic place on the north coast of Madeira.
  • Seixal Natural Pool - See the Well of Lesmas, in this sheltered place, the morphology of the rocks, of volcanic origin, forms natural pools with a peculiar profile. The dark tones of the rock formations contrast with the turquoise waters of the Atlantic Ocean, creating a picture that is impossible to remain indifferent to.
  • Porto Moniz - Porto Moniz known for its natural pools, one of the main attractions on the north coast. This is where we stop for lunch and also for those who want to swim in the volcanic pools.
    Furthermore, the surrounding landscape, with a panoramic perspective of the sea coast and its rocks, leaves no one indifferent.
  • Miradouro Ribeira da Janela - Ribeira da Janela, where the watercourse with the same name flows. It refers to the most extensive watercourse formed in the interior of the island. Ribeira da Janela is famous for its imposing mountains, where the green of the slopes is complemented by the crystal clear blue of the Atlantic.
  • Posto Florestal Fanal - Fanal is known for its mystical landscape, marked by the presence of a centuries-old tis forest - these specimens date back to a time before the discovery of the archipelago.
    In this place you will find a vast forest area that invites you to peacefully enjoy the best that Nature has to offer. This idyllic space is one of the most emblematic places in the municipality of Porto Moniz, housing a landscape heritage of great beauty.
  • Ponta Do Sol - Ponta de Sol, with its stunning beaches and typical villages, is known for being the one that enjoys the greatest number of hours of sunshine per year.
    Therefore, it is where two famous products from Madeira Island are grown, bananas and sugar cane. Floriculture and horticulture also play prominent roles.
  • Serra de Agua - Passing between the north and south of the Island, Taberna da Poncha is a mandatory stop to enjoy the famous traditional Madeiran drink, poncha.
    Poncha a pescador, the traditional one, is made with brandy, lemon peel crushed with sugar. As time went by, they began to make other ponchas such as regional, passion fruit and tangerine.
    Being also a typical Madeiran drink, they added nikita to the list. If it is made with alcohol, it is made with pineapple ice cream and beer. In the non-alcoholic version, the beer is replaced by passion fruit breeze. Thinking about children who often accompany their parents, Taberna da Poncha started making alcohol-free poncha.

Awesome - this chap knows his stuff and is so friendly it was hard to believe we had only met in the morning. - First class experience. You will see the island in a way that is totally unique. Christophe knowledge of Madeira will leaving you asking the question “how does he know so much?”, he is able to answer any question asked. Local knowledge of where to eat, drink and party made the whole day very personal. Finally, only mentioned his football career right at the end of the day - I wanted to know more.

A dream day - We had a great day from start to finish with Christophe. He was a great guide, very punctual and very professional. He knows the island perfectly and gave us lots of anecdotes throughout the day. He immediately put us at ease, we were traveling with friends and it was a real pleasure. Visits with Christophe can suit everyone, he adapts perfectly and is very kind. We followed the program perfectly and Christophe completely gave us time to enjoy each place and even helped us take lots of photos!! He knows the good photo spots so it’s great! In addition, Christophe recommended lots of restaurants and places in Madeira so that we didn't miss anything. The journeys between each stop were not at all long or difficult, Christophe has perfect control of his vehicle and his driving is impeccable. Besides, one of us often gets car sick and this time, everything went really well, she didn't have any problems at all. Christophe is very patient and gives us enough time for each stop. In one day, you would absolutely have done the tour, we lacked nothing and Christophe even introduced us to a nice, local little place to test the Poncha! We can only recommend a visit with Christophe, we will not hesitate to call on him to visit another corner of Madeira in the future!!! Thank you very much for the day, we are very delighted.

To do without hesitation, we visited the west of the island and were amazed - Christophe is in love with his island and shows it off with pleasure, sharing historical anecdotes and botanical details while leaving time to enjoy the wonderful views of the island, take photos and even make a splash if we feel like it. said! The day passed very quickly, we had the opportunity to see places we probably would never have gone to, and we're not just talking about off-road. To top it all off, the weather was good. In short, we would have liked to have had the time to do the east in the same conditions.

Private tour perfection - We are so happy that our AirBNB owner recommended Christophe. We booked a private tour for two full days and they were jam-packed with gorgeous views, great food and drinks and so much information. We are not normally tour people, but found it so easy to spend time with Christophe (great guy) and explore the hidden treasures plus the typical tourist sites.

Such a great trip with such a great tour guide - This was such a great tour. We did 2 days - one day north and one west of the island. Chris is so knowledgeable and entertaining. My family loved going off road, seeing the islands most beautiful beaches and view points. This isn’t just about seeing the sites but really getting to know Madeira with someone who truly loves the island.
