East Madeira 4x4 Jeep Tour with Local Guide
Experience the spectacular natural scenery, delicious cuisine, and traditional villages of Madeira’s east coast on this full-day tour. Traveling by 4WD, venture off-road and escape the crowds as you drive the Pico do Areiro mountain roads, stop in villages such as Ribeiro Frio and Faial, and visit a traditional A-frame house in Santana. Along the way, enjoy lunch (own expense) at a local restaurant, optional tastings of Madeira wine or Porto Da Cruz rum, and a visit to a poncho bar.
Highlights
- ✓Magnificent views along Madeira’s east coast
- ✓Visit traditional villages and sample typical Madeira foods
- ✓Small-group tour with a maximum of 12 people
- ✓Hassle-free pickup and drop-off at your Funchal hotel
What you'll see & do
- ✓The first stop of the tour is the not so famous but very beautiful Miradouro do Paradao. From this viewpoint you will see Funchal from above as well as the famous Nun´s Valley. It´s usually very quiet up here and very much "off the beaten path"
- ✓Madeira´s third highest peak. We try to arrive here early, before the crowds so we can best enjoy the amazing views, above the clouds hopefully! We don´t like giving set times but usually spend somewhere around 30 to 45 minutes up here which is usually enough to get to see the best sights.
- ✓Ribeiro Frio is well known for the rainbow trout farm. We drive by the large crowds and escape the tourist traps.
- ✓We make our way off-road and off the beaten path to Santana, one of Madeira´s most famous villages. Here we will see the traditional A-frame houses and stop at an authentic house to see how people use to live in this shantytown of Madeira. Next is Lunch at the famous Quinta do Furao restaurant with the best lunch in Santana, with great value and an incredible view!
- ✓After lunch we stop at one of our favourite viewpoints on the North East of the island to see privileged views of the North East coast.
- ✓A stop is in order at the the small village of Porto Da Cruz, well known for it´s history in sugar and rum. We make a stop at the famous rum factory and of course try some of the best rum in the world!
- ✓Lastly we explore Ponta de Sao Lourenço, the most easterly peninsular on the island known for its magnificent volcanic rock formations and colours.
- ✓The final stop on our east tour to see the peninsular in all it´s glory!
