The journey begins with a scenic drive from Funchal towards Madeira’s dramatic north coast, passing lush green mountains, deep valleys, and breathtaking viewpoints along the coastal road or through the Encumeada tunnel. Our first stop is the charming village of São Vicente, where guests can stroll through its picturesque streets, admire the traditional church, and visit the Água d’Alto waterfall — a beautiful spot perfect for photos and a refreshing moment in nature.
We then continue to the iconic Bride’s Veil viewpoint, one of Madeira’s most famous landscapes, offering sweeping views over the rugged coastline and a waterfall that cascades directly into the Atlantic Ocean.
In Seixal, guests enjoy a relaxing break at “O Ninho,” a peaceful natural retreat known for its homemade liqueurs and welcoming atmosphere. Just a few minutes away lies Seixal’s stunning black‑sand beach, where the contrast between volcanic sand and emerald waters creates one of the island’s most photogenic locations.
Ribeira da Janela is our next highlight — a wild, volcanic coastline marked by dramatic rock formations and small islets rising from the sea. It’s a paradise for photography lovers and anyone who appreciates raw, untouched nature.
We then head to Porto Moniz, famous for its crystal‑clear natural lava pools. Here, guests can swim in calm, transparent waters surrounded by volcanic rock, with full access to changing rooms, sunbeds, and oceanfront views.
For adventure seekers, the tour also offers the possibility of experiencing a giant swing or a panoramic zipline — thrilling activities with unforgettable views over the valley and coastline.
At the end of the day, there is an optional paid extra: a visit to Fanal Forest, a mystical UNESCO‑protected laurel forest known for its ancient trees and magical fog, perfect for light walks and quiet reflection, or a ride on the Achadas da Cruz cable car, one of the steepest in Europe, descending to a remote coastal village.
This extra depends on the available time throughout the tour and the weather conditions. (+20€)
A full day filled with nature, culture, breathtaking landscapes, and unforgettable experiences — showcasing the very best of Madeira’s north and west.
