This is a must for any first-time visitors, but not only!
We will pick you up at your hotel and begin an unforgettable journey across the island of Madeira. We head towards Câmara de Lobos, where our adventure starts at the Pico da Torre viewpoint, overlooking the colourful fishing village that once inspired Winston Churchill to capture its picturesque bay on canvas. Here, you will gain an authentic glimpse into the traditional lifestyle of Madeiran fishermen.
We then continue along the road connecting Funchal to Câmara de Lobos, climbing towards the mountains until we reach the impressive Cabo Girão, one of the highest sea cliffs in Europe. From its glass-floored skywalk, suspended high above the ocean, you can take in breathtaking panoramic views over the Atlantic, Câmara de Lobos and Funchal. The dramatic 580-metre vertical drop guarantees a truly memorable experience (entrance not included).
Our journey continues to Ribeira Brava, a charming village where the river meets the sea with remarkable force. Enjoy some free time to wander through its peaceful streets, explore local shops, and relax along the seafront promenade.
Next, we ascend to Paúl da Serra, a vast plateau located at around 1,500 metres above sea level. As the flattest area on the island, it offers sweeping views over lush valleys and mountainous landscapes, forming part of an important natural reserve.
We then make our way to Porto Moniz, where we stop for approximately two hours for lunch and free time. Here, you can explore the village or take a refreshing swim in the famous natural volcanic pools filled with Atlantic seawater.
The route continues towards Seixal, with scenic views along the way featuring cascading waterfalls flowing down the green cliffs. We will make a short stop here to admire the landscape.
We then proceed to São Vicente, one of the most emblematic villages on Madeira’s north coast, where you may visit its historic 17th-century church and experience the authenticity of the region.
Finally, we return via Encumeada, one of the island’s most spectacular viewpoints, offering a unique perspective over both the north and south coasts of Madeira, the perfect ending to a day filled with unforgettable scenery and experiences.
