Madeira 4x4 Jeep Safari : Porto Moniz, Lava Pools & Fanal Forest
Description
Our 4x4 adventure begins at Cabo Girão, the famous "SKYWALK" the second highest cliff in Europe with ums incredible height of 580 meters. We follow winding roads to the Ribeira Brava, where the 16th-century Church of St. Benedict stands out, offering stunning views over the ocean. Then we reach Ponta do Sol, the most sunny spot on the island, surrounded by dramatic cliffs. We ascend to Paul da Serra, the only plateau of Madeira, often wrapped in fog, which contrasts with the lush coastal areas. Descending, we arrive at Porto Moniz, famous for its natural lava pools. Along the coast, Ribeira da Janela delights with its basalt columns. In Seixal, we admire the black sand beach and the natural swimming pools of crystal clear waters. We end in Câmarade Lobos, the fishing village visited by churchill, before toasting to the rich wine tradition of Madeira in the winery Henriques & Henriques, ending an unforgettable day.

Itinerary
After Pick up we will have the first stop at Miradouro do Pico da Torre where you can enjoy the wonderful bay of Câmara de lobos, followed by an off road.
At 580 meters high, Cabo Girão is the highest promontory in Europe, but that's not the only reason it has become increasingly famous all over the world. Its viewpoint, with the famous suspended glass platform — called skywalk — is currently one of the most visited (and certainly most photographed) tourist attractions in the municipality of Câmara de Lobos and the Madeira archipelago.
Ribeira Brava is known for its extensive valley, discovered in the 15th century, with excellent weather for bananas and sugar cane.
After leaving Ribeira Brava, we will pass through Ponta de Sol to admire the village that was an important landmark for exports at the end of the 19th century. After that, we will stop for coffee, toilet and anything else that customers may need.
With a unique natural landscape, the Paul da Serra is a point of interest for unique contours on the island of Madeira. It is the largest mountainous plateau of the entire archipelago. It is therefore one of the most relevant (and indispensable) points of interest in the municipality of Ponta do Sol. With an average elevation of 1500 meters, the Paul da Serra allows access to stunning views over the mountainous peaks and deep valleys that mark the surrounding area. On days of good visibility, it is possible to see the coastline of the south coast and the north coast. The landscape is, however, dominated by the green tones of Nature.
Situated between the Seixal and Ribeira da Janela mountains, the Fanal is a vast forest area that invites you to enjoy what nature has to offer. This idyllic space is one of the most iconic places in the municipality of Porto Moniz, hosting a landscape heritage of great beauty.
We will have a wonderful stop in Ribeira da Janela with a path towards a small cave where you will have a splendid panoramic view of the blue Atlantic.
We have a stop at Porto Moniz for lunch, where you can walk and enjoy one of the most beautiful places on our island. (HORAS IN THIS LOCAL CAN VARIATE)
Stop to admire the wonderful natural black sand beach.
At the end of the day, we return to the Chamber of Lobos to the Madeira wine factory, where we will have a taste of the delicious Madeira wines. (ONLY MONDAY TO FRIDAY)

We had a wonderful time. We loved going on roads that large cars & coaches can't access. Miguel is an excellent driver & we felt very safe
Hello, thank you for this kind review ! We will keep the good work. Thank you for trusting WARRIORS ADVENTURE!! 🙏🙏
Complete tour of the west. In Fanal I think we spent too little time. If you want to swim in the natural pools you have to bring a picnic for lunch otherwise there won't be time. Professional company and good driver Miguel Franco
¡Hola, gracias por esta amable reseña! Seguiremos haciendo un buen trabajo. ¡Gracias por confiar en WARRIORS ADVENTURE! 🙏🙏
We had been staying in Funchal, and thought that with the price of taxis and the length of time buses take, we wouldn’t be able to see many of the sights on the west or north of the island. Fortunately we found Miguel’s tour. The value for money was fantastic, Miguel was a very informative tour guide who genuinely cares about the quality of tour. He knows a lot about the island and ensures that everybody has a safe and enjoyable trip. The pick up was exactly on time and the fact that he comes to pick you up and drop you off after the tour is excellent. It was a fantastic day that allowed us to enjoy the island in all its beauty and he ensured we had sufficient time at every location, but not too much where we got bored or ran out of things to do. I would highly recommend going with Miguel for the tour.

We had the pleasure of travelling on this tour with our guide Miguel. From start to finish it was hassle free. We got to see the West Coast of Madeira and hear of all its hidden gems. Miguel is very knowledgable and passionate about Madeira, and more importantly for us, very accommodating when it came to our family needs. We took a 4 and 8 year old with us and it was a joy. I highly recommend this trip and all its highlights!
