Itinerary
A place you must visit if you ever come to Madeira. This typical and characteristic fishing bay is one you will only find in postcards. This View Point is OMG..AMAZING
A typical city along the southern coast of Madeira, were we visited the local Farmers Market.. Then from the Soutwest Coast we travel up to the north through to Paul da Serra 1500 mt..
One of the highest sea cliffs in the world, at 580 metros this glass bottom viewpoint allows for spectacular and breathtaking views of the fajãs beneath and a panoramic view over Câmara de Lobos and Funchal bay. ATTENTION the Acess to the View Point the Sky Walk they Charge a cust of 5 euros per/person and such as the Toilets 50 cent. THIS IS NOT INCLUDED ON MY TOURS
Porto Moniz is one of the highlights of the West Tour and the reason why most of our visitors book this tour. The natural pools covered by volcanic lava make this town truly something out of the ordinary. Beautiful and attractive are the words that describe this magnificent location. At this stop, we have time to swim in the natural pools and have time to eat something. P.S. Please note: the entrance fee to the pools is not included; it costs 3 euros per person. Pools are paid because there are other pools that are free. It is an option to choose from. Be careful not to leave wet towels or bathing suits on the van's upholstery, as this will damage it.
Ribeira da Janela is one of the biggest attractions on the north coast of Madeira Island. Its imposing rock formation emerging from the bottom of the Atlantic Ocean is something never before seen. It looks like a National Geographic film. One of the first shots of the 2023 Star Wars movie, filmed on Madeira Island, was shot right here. In the same location, we can see a new tourist attraction: a zip line.
Fanal Forest, what words are needed? It's a forest straight out of a movie scene. When Nature presents us with fog, this is the highlight of the West Tour. The centuries-old trees that date back to the discovery and colonization of Madeira Island. These are living trees; the photos taken don't express their beauty and magic. It's a unique and rare place on Madeira Island that should be visited and contemplated without destroying or polluting. P.S. It was here in this forest that the 2023 Star Wars film was shot.
And finally, Dears Clients, we visited one of the biggest tourist attractions and local spots: The Beautifull Waterfalls and the Luxury Landscapes we have along of the Norte Side of Madeira Island... From this Point we can see the Famous Black Sand Beach

Loved our experience and trip to Fanal Forest and the outdoor pools. Well organised and Dino was excellent. He was like a breath of fresh air! Really knowledgeable and friendly. The communication was first class from the point of booking. Would definitely recommend this experience and this company xx
Fantastic West Madeira Tour and the most impressive scenery me and my husband have ever seen. Dino our guide is extremley friendly and an engaging storyteller, knowledgeable and passionate. Dramatic cliffs, Atlantic waters, green mountains, natural lava pools.... etc. We loved the trip so much that we booked the East Tour too😀 This Island is truly the "Pearl of the Atlantic". Highly recommend it.

It was a great day out. Only us and another family in a bus so felt personal and not rushed all the way. Dino's knowledge was outstanding, all the way the stories, history and fun facts were delivered amazingly. Would definitely recommend! Weather was kind to us and no warmer clothing was needed. Any footwear was appropriate as well.

West Side Tour by Dino in small mini bus for total of 7 people. Dino was a really pleasant and knowledgeable guide. We worked our way through the schedule. No rushing / but still plenty of time at each location. We were staying in Funchal and didn't rent a car, so getting out for a day visiting areas we couldn't get to on foot was fantastic. We visited lots of places, including a gorgeous village, Funal Forest and even got to watch a local car rally !!!

Dino was an excellent driver and guide. He was incredibly knowledgeable and clearly passionate about the island, which made the experience even more enjoyable. We had more than enough time at each stop to explore, take photos, and do everything we wanted without feeling rushed. Overall, it was a fantastic tour, and we would highly recommend it.

We had a wonderful trip, Dino was our guide and was fabulous, he told us so much information. I loved all our stops and having 2 hours at Porto Moniz was wonderful to swim and have lunch in the middle of the day. The tour was in a minibus which was comfortable and we never felt uncomfortable or too hot. I have nothing negative to say, great tour and good value for money.

Its nice to try it, make sure you have enough time to try swimming in nature pools but it can be so windy and cold water as well.
Good Morning.... We are not responsible for the weather... The natural pools of Porto Moniz were windy, yes, the water temperature is normally moderate in June... I don't think we deserve 4 stars because even His Excellency told us that he loved the tour with our guide Dino and everything else, with praise... Let's try to understand human nature? Ps. And your Excellency had 2 hours for Swimming !
A very eventful day with Dino! We had a private van for our group and it was great. We had sufficient time at each stop and we never felt rushed. Dino is a safe driver and I’m glad we chose this tour to explore the west/north coast.

Absolutely fantastic experience, our tour guide Dino was very friendly, extremely knowledgeable, and made the whole experience super smooth and enjoyable. The itinerary and timings we found to be almost perfect, with just enough time dedicated to each stop to get the most out of the tour. Highlight was absolutely Fanal Forest even if the weather was not perfect when we arrived but every stop was worthwhile and we'll be happy to book the Eastern tour next time we visit.
