A coach day around the west that links the Cabo Girão cliff, Ribeira Brava, the Paul da Serra plateau and Porto Moniz with time for lunch or a dip in the sea pools, with a professional guide.

Pickup is free only from Funchal hotels, and the Skywalk ticket and lunch are extra. 4.68 from 724 reviews at €43 per person.
