Our Driver / Guide, Joao was superb ! Arrived on time and off we set. All locations visited were fantastic with Joao firstly getting us into great parking places and then giving us a full history of the location and what we were actually able to see. When we went 'off road', part of the track was closed for repairs but Joao was able to get us back on the track further down. At Porto Moniz Joao's suggested locations for lunch were spot on. Joao's driving was both safe and impressive !
Madeira West is full of mountains, cliffs, valleys, waterfalls, forests, and natural lava pools with crystal clear waters and is best explored in a convertible or open-top 4x4. Feel and see what the island has to offer away from the crowds and through some places that are possible to reach only by 4x4.
You'll pass by Camara De Lobos then your first stop will be at one of Madeira's top viewpoints, the Cabo Girão skywalk, one of the highest sea cliffs in the world with 580m. Then take the fascinating country roads towards Ribeira Brava and Ponta de Sol villages where you can appreciate the sunny and natural southwest of the island with stunning views over the ocean.
Your guide will then take you off-road towards Paul da Serra with its unique landscape, the biggest mountain plateau of the island where you'll explore the stunning Laurissilva Forest of Fanal, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Don't miss the opportunity to discover this idyllic place, one of the most emblematic sites in the Northwest.
Driving through lovely old roads you arrive in Porto Moniz on the extreme north of the island, where you'll stop for lunch or a quick dive in the stunning natural lava pools. After a well-enjoyed break, continue your journey on the North coast and visit the charming villages of Seixal, Ribeira da Janela, São Vicente and Serra de Agua before getting back to Funchal.
