Firstly,I can’t avoid mentioning the unfortunate case of The Missing Keys. At our first stop, the keys to the jeep went walkabout. Not sure when or how, but they were nowhere to be found. To compound the issue, head office could not send out a spare key because it was on the same key ring. Lesson to be learned, keep all spare keys in the office. 45 minutes later and with a replacement Jeep, we were off. With true British fortitude, we all put it behind us and proceeded to have an amazing laughter filled day with 6 other likeminded folks. Tony our driver was a star, great sense of humour, extremely knowledgeable (and very apologetic), he made sure we had an unforgettable day and that’s why, mishap or not, I give it 5 stars. On thrilling rollercoaster roads, we saw much of the island’s dramatic scenery and coastline, enjoyed an invigorating swim in the natural pools in Port Moritz, swirling mist in the mystical forest of Fanal, and a great dinner. I hope we get Tony on our next tour.

Full description

Embarking from Funchal city to the enchanting landscapes of São Vicente on Madeira’s North Coast. Our first stop takes us to São Vicente's waterfall, a delicate cascade that resembles a bride's veil. Continuing our adventure, we travel across the coastal town of Seixal, a hidden treasure with a black volcanic sand beach voted 3erd Best Beach in Europe. Our path then leads us to the secret place of Poças das Lesmas, where time stands still among ancient lava rock formations that emerge against the Atlantic Ocean.

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.

Amazing day and amazing guide! Loved Porto Moniz the best and could’ve stayed there all day. Packed so much into this trip and got to see a lot of North West. Guide was friendly and so funny and informative. Had so much fun on the off road section! Would definitely do again.
