Om den här aktiviteten

The first stop is Terreiro da Luta, a beautiful viewpoint a few kilometres from Funchal. We continues towards the mountain Pico do Arieiro. At an altitude of 1818 metres it is the third highest peak on the island and affords breathtaking views.

After visiting the highest driveable peak in Madeira, we head down to the coast through original forest to the last home of Madeira's emblematic straw-roofed houses. Passing pretty villages and stunning seascapes, we arrive at the very eastern point for some superb views of the bold north and sunny south coasts in one panoramic vista.

On the northern slopes of the island the tour reaches a popular starting point for 'levada' walks, Ribeiro Frio. With its interesting trout pools, this area still has much of its original vegetation. The island was once completely covered by 'Laurissilva' forest, a relic from prehistoric times.

Time for lunch in Santana that is characterised by its small thatched triangular houses.

Then we will go towards Ponta de São Lourenço, situated in the eastern part of the island, this is the place where a fantastic combination of rocks, sea and nature combine.

The last town to be visited is Machico, a viewpoint where you can watch the bay and golden sandy beach.

Interesting day winding up and down the mountains. So many different views, along with interesting facts and figures from our friendly guide, translating perfectly into two languages, and giving us a smooth drive. Beautiful island trip with wonderful lunch stop at a really good price.

Great tour! Went up the mountains and above the clouds! The basket factory was a great place to visit and all the various viewpoints we stopped at were amazing. Stopped at a lovely restaurant in Santana which had chicken and beef BBQ'ed on skewers! Best meal we had during the holiday.

excellent guide, the only small thing would be to confirm with people beforehand that, although lunch is not included in the price, the plan is to eat together at a pre-arranged venuerather than self-catering
