Madeira Northern Wonders 4x4 Tour

4.8/5
59 reviews

The hidden beauty of Madeira is best uncovered by 4x4 vehicle. This off-road safari takes you to some of the island's most stunning locations, including São Vicente, the volcanic pools of Seixal and Porto Moniz, the ancient forests of Fanal, the Paul de Serra plateau and Cabo Girão.

Cross the island's interior uplands to São Vicente on the north coast. From this whitewashed town nestled in forested volcanic hills, we head to Seixal to see its lava pools and famous waterfall. Next up is Porto Moniz, where Atlantic waves crash against lava rock formations. Then, it's on to Fanal, an area of rare beauty set in the heart of a laurel forest of deciduous trees, some of which are more than 500 years old.

After a break for lunch, the 4x4 powers its way to the remote Paul de Serra plateau, which, on a clear day, offers sweeping views of both the north and south coasts. There's one last stop at the highest sea cliff in Europe, Cabo Girão, where for a small fee you'll be able to gaze out over panoramic views towards the sea and the coast below.

    Super Ausflug, die letzte Pause in Feixal hätte zum Baden länger sein können 20 min reichen nicht.

    Der Guide Karim war sehr nett und hat viel über die Gegend gesprochen durch die wir gefahren sind. Wir haben viel gelacht. Gut war das wir einige kleine aber sehr schöne Stopps eingelegt haben....nur für ein paar Fotos. Die großen (Porto moniz. Fanal, Serra agua ) boten genug Zeit um in Ruhe zu Essen, schwimmen bzw Fotos zu machen waren aber auch nicht zu lang. Die Tour bergab von Serra agua hat Spaß gemacht....das Stück ist Recht steil ...genau richtig für den Jeep

    Die Fahrt mit dem Jeep hat sehr Spaß gemacht aber man muss hier wissen, dass es während der schnellen Fahrt schonn richtig windig ist, weil der Wagen offen ist. Der Guide hat uns zu vielen Aussichstpunkten gefahren, die wirklich schön waren. Für den Fanal Wald hätte ich mir persönlich mehr Zeit gewünscht, weil das mein persönliches Highlight war. Die Fahrt durch die engen, steilen Straßen hat für einen kleinen Adrenalinkick gesorgt. Insgesamt hat mir die Tour sehr gefallen

    Unser Guide war wirklich nett und ist auf Wünsche eingegangen. Auch das Verkehrschaos wurde souverän gelöst ;) Die Tour ist sehr vielseitig, man sieht viele Dinge - aber dafür auch nur relativ kurz. Insgesamt eine klare Empfehlung.
