What to expect

This experience combines a 4x4 safari and scenic levada walks, offering a sustainable way to explore Madeira Island’s natural beauty and cultural heritage.

The journey begins at Pico do Arieiro (1,818m), where breathtaking panoramic views reveal dramatic valleys and peaks. It continues with an exciting off-road adventure through the mountains of Faial, followed by a peaceful levada walk in the Laurissilva Forest within the Queimadas Natural Park, a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve.

In Santana, visitors discover the island’s iconic 250-year-old thatched-roof houses, symbols of Madeira’s traditions. Another levada walk in Referta showcases agricultural landscapes, local crops, and authentic rural life, with stunning views over Porto da Cruz and Penha d’Águia.

In Porto da Cruz, guests visit a traditional rum distillery to learn about Madeira’s famous production methods. The tour concludes at Ponta de São Lourenço, a rugged peninsula known for its dramatic scenery and sweeping views of both the north and south coasts.
