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

Admission not included120 min

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.

20 min

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.

Admission included30 min

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.

Admission included20 min

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

Our experience in...

Our experience on the island tour was very good. We visited several amazing sites, such as Ribeira Brava, Fanal, Porto Moniz, the Veu da Noiva, Cabo Girão, Fajã do Rancho Beach and Ribeira da Janela. We really liked our guide, the Dino, who was always very friendly, fun and attentive. The place we liked the most was Cabo Girão, for its fantastic views. It was a very well spent day and an experience that we recommend!

Great tour and value for money..

This was a Great Value for Money tour. Dino was very talkative and extremely enthusiastic about this beautiful island of Madeira. Would defo book this tour operator again. Great value and saw extra sights along the way, was great that the tour lasted a little longer than planned just for a few life changing mountain top views. Was even better with only four people in the tour..

Hello. Thank you very much for your excellent comment... I hope to see you again someday... With best regards, Dinarte Sousa, CEO.

Great day out with an expert tour guide showcasing next level local knowledge

Booked this trip before arriving in Madeira. Almost cancelled to change to one which picked up at our hotel - so glad we didn't! Our guide, Dino, was very friendly and showed a clear passion for the island and what it has to offer. He shared much local knowledge which if never heard previously, despite having visited the island a few times previously. He kindly walked us to the market and explained the local produce to us and even got us some free tasters! The trip itself had a perfect balance of exploration and relaxation, showcasing the very best of the west side. It was, as promised , a small group - only 5 people - which made it much more special. Would definitely recommend this trip! Dino - Top man!!

Excellent Experience!

I am so pleased that I booked this trip. We saw so many beautiful views and had such amazing experiences. This company is brilliant and very good communication regarding pick up times and place. The tour guide Dino was amazing and added to the experience. His friendliness, courtesy, knowledge and sense of humour was brilliant. The value for money was excellent. Watching Dino navigate the very steep and winding roads made me glad I didn't hire a car! Thanks you so much Dino, we had a great time and made many special memories

Both the tour tour and guide were excellent

Both the tour tour and guide (Dino) were excellent and exactly what we were looking for. It allowed us to explore a large part of the island within a single day, and yet never felt rushed. I particularly liked the Fanal Forrest.

Excellent west tour

Dino was an excellent tour guide, informative as well as being entertaining. We visited so many places but stopped for just about the right amount of time at each. It was great to get away from busy Funchal into the hills and to see the real Madeira and Dino brought this to life for us all. The air conditioned minibus was a delight and well worth the comfort of this rather than the cramped 4x4s. I would highly recommend the tour as well as Dino as the tour guide.

Fantastic experience!

This was such a fun experience! I can’t recommend it enough! We were meant to be with another two people but they cancelled so it ended up being a lovely family friendly, personal tour with the brilliant Dino. He was hilarious and very knowledgeable about the areas we were visiting. He gave us so many tips about the locations including where to eat at Porto Moniz. We really appreciated this. It was such a lovely day for our trip and we had so much time to visit everything. We wouldn’t have been able to visit all of these locations had it not been for the tour. We particularly enjoyed Fanal Forest and Porto Moniz. Our trip was just magical! Thank you very much Dino!
