Very nice tour and a nice good guide Susana. You will see beautiful parts of the Island. The only reason for not giving 5 stars is the booking process, but the tour and guide were good

5. Old Forest Jeep Tour 4x4
Overall Ratings
5.0 based on 7 reviews
On this tour we leave Funchal in the direction of Poiso with an altitude of 1412m and then climb through the mountains to Pico do Arieiro at a height of 1818m. This is one of the most beautiful places with breathtaking views of the island of Madeira. We stay here for a while and walk a little. We then descend to Ribeiro Frio where we are in the Laurissilva Forest and we visit the trout nursery. We continue our adventure along old paths passing Cedro Gordo and Cruzinhas until we reach the Village de Santana where we will visit the typical straw houses (Colmo). After this stop we descend to the village of Faial with amazing views down to the sea and then continue towards Ponta de São Lourenço in the east of Madeira. This part of the Island is much drier and arid, but with a unique beauty due to its cliffs and colors. Tour is flexible can be changed because of weather or roads, we look for the best weather conditions for u.
Inclusions: On this tour includes a small walk, and if the weather it's good we stop for swimming.
Exclusions: For those who want lunch we stop in a typical restaurant

We were searching for flexibility during the tour. And we got much more we expected! Mauricio knows the island so well that you simply need to say the keyword and he can propose the place which you are looking for and might like. And his car - the Defender - can take you in really hidden places where normal car can`t go. We had a change to go places I even couldn`t dream of. It was amazing tour full of surprizes ;)

7. Sunrise Hike at Ponta de São Lourenço
Overall Ratings
5.0 based on 8 reviews
Ponta de Sao Lourenço is one of the most popular attractions in Madeira and the absolute best way to really appreciate this hike is by avoiding the crowds. Known for its beautiful colours and rock formations, the volcanic peninsular is one of the oldest parts of the island. The peninsula is classified as a partial natural reserve. All the land and sea by the North coast, is part of the European network of important community sites - Natura 2000. You can witness very unique fauna and flora on this side of the island, endemic birds and on the very rare occasion, a visit from the world´ s rarest seal, the monk seal. At the end of the trail, you can dive in the Sardinha port a great place for a swim in some of the cleanest water! The hike involves some ascends and descends and is considered Moderate difficulty with a total of 8Km more or less which should take around 4 hours in total to complete.
Inclusions: Pickup is offered in Funchal

We just completed a full-day west end tour led by Jeff. It was a fantastic day all around. Jeff arrived on time and showed us many beautiful sights we never would have found on our own. We did some off-roading in his Land Rover and felt completely at ease with him driving on these Madeira roads. We then went and saw many of the highlights of the north west side of the island. We were very happy to have the entire day rather than a half-day, which would have felt too short. Jeff listened to what we wanted to do and customized the day for us. A great value too. I highly recommend this tour.

Every time I go to Madeira, I have to book a tour with Dinarte since he knows the island as his back yard. The experience is incredible and his knowledge of the place cannot be matched. Also, the day will be filled with lots of laughter, good food and amazing scenery. About good food, I cannot recommand enough the Fanal tour with espetada. I didn't know I needed the tasty esperada barbecue, surrounded by the ancient trees and the little birds curious about what's cooking. Dinarte is also an amazing chef and he chooses all the ingredients himself, only the freshest produce pass the test. Do yourself a favour and have a barbecue in Fanal, you will thank yourself later ????.

Departure from the hotel at 9:00 am towards the parish of Camacha to observe the wicker factory and all its process. Afterwards, climb to Pico do Areeiro at 1818m, where you can observe the beautiful mountains and surrounding valleys and even the parish of Curral das nuntas, deep in one of the great valleys. Descent to Ribeiro Frio, where there is a nursery of trout that later are dropped in the brook. A visit to the center of Santana is followed to observe the typical triangular houses with thatched roof, followed by another stop in Faial. Returning to Funchal, you will have two more stops, at the belvedere of Ponta de São Lourenço and Machico. Return to the hotel by 5:00 p.m.
