Tour Overview

Your adventure begins with a pickup from your accommodation in central Funchal on the day of the tour, where you will board a comfortable off-road vehicle. As you journey northeast, get ready to uncover the unique features of this region of Madeira. Your path will lead you across the vast Paúl da Serra plateau, a flat expanse that offers a stark contrast to the island's rugged mountain ranges. Here, take a moment to stretch your legs and observe the local wildlife, including cows, goats, and sheep roaming freely.

Continuing the journey in your off-road vehicle, you'll arrive at Fanal, one of the island’s most cherished natural treasures. Experience the breathtaking views and the serene atmosphere as you wander among the notable ancient trees that populate this enchanting area.

After enjoying your time at Fanal, your next stop will be Pico da Urze, where you can treat yourself to a delicious meal featuring local specialties at a nearby restaurant if you choose (meal not included). Once satisfied, you'll hop back into the Jeep and proceed to the famous natural pools of Porto Moniz. Delve into the astonishing beauty of this remarkable site, renowned as one of the oldest towns in Madeira, and take the chance to enjoy a refreshing swim in the volcanic pools.

As your explorative tour of northern Madeira comes to a close, you will head to the vineyards of San Vicente, celebrated for producing some of Madeira’s finest wines. Finally, you will be returned to your hotel after an enriching experience that lasts a total of 7.5 hours.
