This exclusive private tour shines a light on eastern Madeira. You'll have your head in the clouds at Pico do Areeiro, walk among traditional houses in Santana, have lunch at Quinta do Furão and marvel at the landscape at Ponta de São Lourenço. Santiago, one of our expert local guides, says, ‘Ponta de São Lourenço is unlike the rest of the island because it has no trees. The wind keeps the vegetation low, so you get amazing views of this twisting peninsula. It is an important habitat for birds as well as dozens of endemic plant species.'
You'll be escorted up above the clouds to the lofty Pico do Areeiro viewpoint, offering wow-factor vistas at 1,818m above sea level. There's a visit to the local mountainside town of Santana, and a tasty lunch of local dishes overlooking the town's unique straw-thatched cottages. And if you feel the urge to linger, our private tour offers you the freedom to do so – you choose how long you spend at each stop.
Next, we'll take a look around a traditional sugar cane processing mill – an activity that has been a key part of Madeira's economy for centuries – in Porto da Cruz. Santiago says, ‘Much of Madeira's sugar cane is used to make the delicious local rum. Try the young white rum with smoked fish, or the aged varieties with chocolate.' Your last port of call will be Ponta de São Lourenço, a rugged peninsula which boasts one of Madeira's most unblemished landscapes. Your private tour gives you the freedom and flexibility to enjoy the day your way.
