Additional Information

From Funchal, our journey takes us to São Vicente on the North Coast, a place renowned for its vineyards, volcanic caverns, and the production of Madeira table wine. Next, we take a tour of the lava pools at Seixal, featuring Véu da Noiva, a well-known waterfall famous for its striking resemblance to a bridal veil. Following this, we take a halt at the naturally formed volcanic pools in Porto Moniz, one of the most frequented spots in Madeira, offering the chance to indulge in clear waters and superb landscapes. We then ascend to Fanal, an area of exceptional allure ensconced in the Laurissilva Forest, one of Portugal’s top seven natural wonders, and its age-old trees. We keep up our journey to Paúl da Serra, the island’s largest plateau that stands almost 1500 mts high, offering breathtaking views. A stop for lunch (not included) at a traditional Madeiran eatery is also planned. Our tour winds down with a drive to Cabo Girão, Europe’s tallest sea cliff and the world’s second, standing at 589 mts, best known for its glass-floored lookout.

  • Pick-ups and drop-offs outside Funchal´s central area have an extra fee

An exhilarating introduction to Madeira - This was an amazing experience that displayed the wild beauty of Madeira’s north coast with the green wonders of its mountain interior. Diogo Camacho was the perfect guide. He speaks excellent English and is a great driver- and you need to be going off road in Madeira. Swimming in the lava pools was bracing but the highlight was Fanal - to see 600 year old trees was humbling in its way.

First Poncha experience…. - Really good tour. Views were amazing. Weather was hit and miss but the traditional lunch and view stops were well worth it and our guide Ramone was brilliant.

Tony the amazing guide - Tony our driver was so entertaining, knowledgeable & funny! It rained today but he made sure we had the best day! He crammed so much into the day, took us off road down some scary streets which was so much fun, got to try the local alcohol Pe De Cabra which was amazing & some others! Amazing guy, highly recommended and a fantastic skilled driver! We will come again!

Great day, great guide - We had a brilliant day in spite of the rain! Robert was a wonderful guide and full of energy and enthusiasm. He kept us upbeat even though the weather was awful. You get to see a lot of the island and we loved the off roading the most. Highly recommend. Thanks Robert!
