The first stop of the tour is the not so famous but very beautiful Miradouro do Paradao. From this viewpoint you will see Funchal from above as well as the famous Nun´s Valley. It´s usually very quiet up here and very much "off the beaten path"
20 minMadeira´s third highest peak. We try to arrive here early, before the crowds so we can best enjoy the amazing views, above the clouds hopefully! We don´t like giving set times but usually spend somewhere around 30 to 45 minutes up here which is usually enough to get to see the best sights.
30 minRibeiro Frio is well known for the rainbow trout farm. We drive by the large crowds and escape the tourist traps.
Pass by, no stopWe make our way off-road and off the beaten path to Santana, one of Madeira´s most famous villages. Here we will see the traditional A-frame houses and stop at an authentic house to see how people use to live in this shantytown of Madeira. Next is Lunch at the famous Quinta do Furao restaurant with the best lunch in Santana, with great value and an incredible view!
2hAfter lunch we stop at one of our favourite viewpoints on the North East of the island to see privileged views of the North East coast.
15 minA stop is in order at the the small village of Porto Da Cruz, well known for it´s history in sugar and rum. We make a stop at the famous rum factory and of course try some of the best rum in the world!
30 minLastly we explore Ponta de Sao Lourenço, the most easterly peninsular on the island known for its magnificent volcanic rock formations and colours.
30 minThe final stop on our east tour to see the peninsular in all it´s glory!
10 minDiscover the wild beauty of Madeira’s east coast on this full-day off-road adventure. Travel through volcanic peaks, ancient laurel forests, and picturesque mountain villages as your local guide shares stories about the island’s history and nature. Enjoy panoramic views of the Atlantic and explore hidden spots that most visitors never reach. This is the perfect tour for travelers who want to experience the real Madeira beyond the main roads.
