Discription of the tour

Your local tour guide will pick you up after you leave the terminal building and off you go on your today’s excursion to Madeira. 

You will be taken to the center of Madeira, where dramatic, cloud-covered mountains fall down into green valleys – a spectacular sight.

Your first stop is at the lookout point Eira do Serrado, one of the most beautiful places in Madeira with breathtaking views of the fascinating mountains, the lush green valleys and the village in the Valley of the Nuns.

The journey from here down to the village in the Valley of the Nuns (Curral da Freiras) takes about 20 minutes. The Nonnental, a small secluded village in the heart of the island, where in the 16th century, the nuns sought refuge from the pirates who often attacked Madeira. Here you can still experience the rural side of Madeira and the typical village life, because the locals live of primarily from what they grow themselves. Every year, the locals celebrate the ‘Chestnut Festival’, which the village is famous for. There are many traditional recipes containing chestnuts which you can almost make anything out of, mainly different liqueurs, cakes, puddings and soups. The native chestnuts are very tasty and are used widely in the everyday kitchen.

On the way back you will stop in the charming fishing village of Câmara de Lobos. Characteristic of this place are the many colorful fishing boats docking at the harbor and the Lobos‘ Stockfish -which traditionally is hung out here to dry. This place is proudly remembered at the time when Winston Churchill was inspired to paint. Câmara de Lobos is also home to the “Ponchas“, a drink made from freshly squeezed lemon juice, honey and sugar cane brandy, which you can try in one of the many small bars.

At the agreed time your tour guide will then bring you back to your ship.

Discription of the tour

On the way, you will stop at the viewpoint Pico da Torre through the first traditional fishing village Câmara de Lobos (“cave of the monk seals”). Câmara de Lobos, located 3.1 mi from Funchal, was named by the discoverers João Gonçalves Zarco and Tristão Vaz Teixeira due to the shape of its bay and the many monk seals that lived there at the time. The fishing town gained fame as Winston Churchill immortalized the site on many of his paintings.

Our journey continues to Cabo Girão, one of Madeira’s most famous tourist attractions. At 580 meters above sea level, Cabo Girão is the second highest cliff in the world and the highest sea cliff in Europe. The bravest can venture out of the viewing platform with a glass floor to enjoy a thrilling adrenaline rush over the steep cliff.

Continue to Ribeira Brava and then north through the deep and narrow Serra D’Água valley. You will drive 3303 ft up to Encumeada. The lookout point of Encumeada Pass is located on the ridge that runs through Madeira. From here you can enjoy incredible views of both the south and north coasts of the island.

After that, you will go down to the north coast where there is a mile-long, picturesque Atlantic coast, where the mountains fall directly into the sea. After São Vicente, one of the predominant villages on the northern coast of Madeira, you will continue to the beautiful village of Porto Moniz. Here you will have approximately 1 hour of free time for lunch, as well as time to admire the natural pools surrounded by bizarre lava rocks. The shallow pools, whose crystal-clear waters are replaced by the flood daily, are a popular seaside resort of the locals.

Continue on a panoramic road up to Paul da Serra, a plateau at almost 4593 ft with breathtaking views and incomparable scenery. The last stop on this wonderful tour is in Bica da Cana with a fantastic view of the Massif Central before your tour ends at the harbor.
