Jeep tour covering the west coast, starting in Campanário, situated in the south coast of the Island.

The morning is usually spent exploring the south western coastline around the areas of Ribeira Brava, Tabua, Lugar de Baixo and the picturesque village of Ponta do Sol (old roads), enjoying the amazing southwestern cliffs.

After coffee, we start “climbing” almost from sea level to 1500m altitude, up the old roads and dirt paths to one of the west tour’s main attraction, the plateau, Paul Da Serra, were we can see the wild life co-habiting with cattle grazing quietly.

After reaching the top, we can choose to go through Rabaçal or Fanal. Depending on the choice we can choose between walking on a section of a levada walk, not touristy, for about 30/40 minutes (optional) or to walk in the mysterious Fanal Forest 

We will have to cross the only plateau in Madeira, called “Madeiran tundra” direction Porto Moniz and If the weather is good we will spend a fair amount of time up here taking in the unbelievable views from above the volcanic valleys, formed during the 3rd phase of eruptions that created Madeira island.

Choosing to go through the Fanal we will be able to make a stop to walk in the mysterious Fanal Forest    an idyllic place that must be visited 😍

For lunch, we will stop in Porto Moniz, where we can take a swim in the famous vulcanic swimming pools or simply explore the Village

(Lunch – optional extra, not included in price and highly recommended – Soup, wine, desert and Coffee included).

Soup: Fish, Tomato or Vegetables

Main course: Black scabbard fish with passion fruit, banana or plain, Tuna, Beef steak, Chicken or Vegetarian

Drinks: Wine, Beer or Juices

Deserts: Multiple options

After lunch in a family-owned restaurant  with a varied menu, more focused on fish and seafood, very modern and pleasant… we make our way back to Funchal driving along the wild North Coast Villages – Ribeira da Janela, Seixal Beach & São Vicente – and amazing waterfalls, making several stops for photos.

And off course…

Always time to stop in a Local Bar for PONCHA 😊 

This trip is highly improvised because of the dramatic nature of the terrain and climate, making it a real adventure every time!

Great for families, nature lovers and those who like being away from the crowds.
