Camara De Lobos

Believed to be the original landing point of portuguese discoverer João Gonçalvez Zarco, this parish name is a derivation for "seals" (Lobos Marinhos). Famously known for it's beautifull fishing bay and a place where Churchill once visited and made one of his paintings.

Cabo Girao

The highest skywalk cliff in Europe, made of transparent glass providing stunning views to its visitors. This diamond-shaped sea-cliff is at 589 meters above sea level. This location also provides amazing views over Câmara de Lobos and Funchal.

Ribeira Brava

Located along the southern coast, this parish gained its name due to its river, which translates to "angry river". A scenic parish encompassed by mountains and turned to the sea is a place not to miss.

Caminho Real da Encumeada PR12

North of Ribeira Brava, the road goes through Serra d'Água where theisland's first water power station was built, arriving at the top of the valley offering incredible views of both north and south coast.

Pico Ruivo do Paul da Serra

The most extensive plateau of Madeira with almost 24 square kilometres at 1500 meters. A place to be admired by its flora and amazing scenery.

Porto Moniz

Famous for its natural pools and its raw, beautiful scenery.

Miradouro do Veu da Noiva

This parish, part of the municipality of Porto Moniz got its name from the abundance of pebbles on the beach. Offering staggering views from the sea level towards the cliffs and also famously known for the Bride's Veil waterfall (Véu da Noiva).

Sao Vicente

This council, surrounded by two high cliffs in both sides, is a place like no other in the island. At the edge of this village, directly next to the sea, lies a great boulder where the first chapel was built.

Good tour, maybe too many long stops, good guide (fernando), could have done of island in the time given.

The tour was very interesting and the Island was beautiful. There was a decent amount of sites we were taken to. What bothered me was when we went by the area of the island where the recent fires set by an arsonist. The bus driver however decided instead of telling the guests that the fire was set he said it started because of climate change. It was totally untrue and I didn't appreciate once I asked him about it he admitted it was arson. Tell the truth or don't talk

Seixal We would like to give a shout-out to Fernando who was an amazing tour-guide. He explained everything well and the whole day went smoothly. Thank you again!

It is quite cheap tour, so I could accept very little space in the car. But I am very disappointed that we only drove through most of the most beautiful places. There is 30 minutes stop for Pico Ruivo do Paul da Serra planned in your itinerary. No stop - we drove only. The same thing happened at the planned stops "Seixal Natural Pool" and Sao Vicente. We stopped instead these places at the friendly souvenir shop. Sorry, but it was a complete waste of time and money. Next time I'd rather pay for a taxi :-(

Leuke dag gehad, mooie bezienswaardigheden gezien. Alles zoals beschreven staat in de info van de excursie. De gids kon goed Engels. Hij sprak zowel Engels als Portugees tijdens de tour. Ook kregen we genoeg tijd bij elke stop waardoor je genoeg foto’s kon maken.
