Highlighted reviews from other travelers
We had Toni as guide and driver and he made the trip so special and fun! We saw all the places and had the most fun off-road!
Gil was an exciting guide. His enthusiasm was very contagious. His driving was like going on a roller coaster, exhilarating. Our group of different cultures bonded right away and that made for a very enjoyable trip. We enjoyed every part of this trip. . We liked that we had a chance to have a good time with new friends over a sumptuous lunch. Highly recommend this trip with Gil as guide.

Full description
Our journey proceeds to Porto Moniz, where natural volcanic pools are waiting for us to immerse yourself in the beauty of this unique place. Our adventure takes a thrilling turn as we head to Fanal, navigating off-road trails into the peaceful and magical Laurissilva Forest that reveals itself in front of you; a living testament of over 20 million years of natural evolution.
Continuing our journey we go through Paúl da Serra, the largest plateau on the island (1400 mts above sea level) with incredible views over the Atlantic Ocean and above the clouds. Then Cabo Girão awaits, standing proudly as one of the highest sea cliffs in the world at 580 metres. The Skywalk viewpoint promises a breathtaking panoramic view of the Atlantic Ocean, Câmara de Lobos and the city of Funchal.
