The west Tour begins in the fishing town of Câmara de Lobos. Then we journey up to Cabo Girao, the highest cliff in Europe and the second in the world. After being in the top of the world we continue our journey to see the nice view of Serrad'agua valley.
After enjoying the view, we head to São Vicente, where we can see most of the Laurisilva forest in the island and famous for caves of volcanic origin.
Continuing to the north, we go to Porto Moniz, known worldwide for its natural lava pools. If you want to swim, we can make sure there is some time for that.
Finally we get to a hidden place - the window to Porto Moniz, Ribeira da Janela, finalizing the day in Lameiros to see an amazing view of São Vicente valley.

Family trip to Madeira
We did the tour with Duarte, and in the end, we finished the excursion with a pleasant experience and a good friend. The island is beautiful, and Duarte is a great connoisseur and excellent guide. Approachable, respectful, and fantastic with children. WE WILL REPEAT!!!

Definitely book this tour!
We had an amazing time on this tour with Marco. We were able to customize our itinerary, and pick up time. Marco was able to make changes on the fly regarding the weather and safety. We very much enjoyed the tour and it was a great introduction to the west side of the island. We also felt very safe with Marco's driving. Many of the roads were narrow and parking wasn't always readily available. We felt this was a way better alternative. FYI it would probably be cheaper to book directly with the vendor.

Fantastic experience. Even though our boat was late, our guide was always in contact with us assuring us that the tour would take place equally. And it did. Duarte, our guide, was great. It adapted to the new circumstances and we were able to visit practically everything we planned. Impeccable service. Thanks Duarte.

Fantastic tour of the island of Madeira
We made a tour west of the island, we were led by Duarte who introduced us to the island of wood in a complete form.
He explained every place, the stories, took pictures, and made the entries in the points of interest faster.
