What to expect

This is a tour that will take you to a journey to the forgotten beauty of the island!

You'll start in the South, going throughout the mountains, passing some off special roads and offloads in the woods. Once on the top of the mountains, you'll find the amazing forest of Fanal, where there are ancient trees, that will for sure trigger your interest. From there on, you'll descend to the North side of the island, where you have the opportunity to go for a swim in the natural lavapools. After a refreshing dip, the tour will take you to the west side of the island, passing some lovely views, to slowly come to an end, at the most Western point of the island, Ponta do Pargo.

This marks the end of an unforgettable day exploring this remarkable island.

    Oh Chris, es war eine wunderschöne Tour durch den Westen Madeiras. Wir hatten viel Spaß und es in vollen Zügen genossen. Chris hat uns viele interessante Infos über Madeira erzählt und war ein sehr aufmerksamer Guide, der auf unsere Wünsche eingegangen ist. Vor allem der Mittagsstop in einem Restaurant für die weltbesten Madeira Spieße war ein Highlight, das wir nicht erwartet hatten. Danke für den wirklich tollen Tag! Sehr zu empfehlen!!

    Es war rundum ein gelungener Tag trotz nicht so gutem Wetter. Besonders möchte ich Chris für diesen Tag nochmal danken. Besser kann man den Tag eigentlich nicht gestalten. Sehr informativ und sehr flexibel was die Tour angeht. Es hat alles gepasst. Vielen Dank dafür. Barbara & Dirk Heckl

    En fantastisk tur med hisnande höjder (och vägar), vackra vyer samt goda tips och rekommendationer. Ett personligt berättande om Madeira förhöjde upplevelsen ytterligare. Tack för en fantastisk dag!

    We enjoyed every little thing about this trip. This is definitely a must do trip when in Maderia. Chris the guide was very knowledgeable and was passionate about his work. Chirs was very informative and was great fun during the day. The Fanal forest experience was fantastic,,,, something extra special. Chris looked after us every step of the way. Chris was clearly an exceptionality gifted off road drive and responded to the groups wishes to either go mild or get more adventurous "we loved it"

    Chris was absolutely brilliant from start to finish. The tour was very informative and his knowledge extensive. We saw loads of the island that we hadn’t seen before having already done east and west in the past. All of the places we visited were picturesque and we had plenty of time to look around without feeling rushed. We made many photos and memories. We enjoyed it so much we booked another tour with Chris. Adam and Sara
