This is a tour that will take you to a journey to the forgotten beauty of the island!

You'll start in the South, going throughout the mountains, passing some off special roads and offloads in the woods. Once on the top of the mountains, you'll find the amazing forest of Fanal, where there are ancient trees, that will for sure trigger your interest. From there on, you'll descend to the North side of the island, where you have the opportunity to go for a swim in the natural lavapools. After a refreshing dip, the tour will take you to the west side of the island, passing some lovely views, to slowly come to an end, at the most Western point of the island, Ponta do Pargo.

This marks the end of an unforgettable day exploring this remarkable island.

Es war rundum ein gelungener Tag trotz nicht so gutem Wetter. Besonders möchte ich Chris für diesen Tag nochmal danken. Besser kann man den Tag eigentlich nicht gestalten. Sehr informativ und sehr flexibel was die Tour angeht. Es hat alles gepasst. Vielen Dank dafür. Barbara & Dirk Heckl

En fantastisk tur med hisnande höjder (och vägar), vackra vyer samt goda tips och rekommendationer. Ett personligt berättande om Madeira förhöjde upplevelsen ytterligare. Tack för en fantastisk dag!

Es war eine super schöne Tour, auf der ich unglaublich viel gelernt habe über Madeira. Wir haben viele tolle Orte besichtigt und viel Natur gesehen. Wenn ich nochmal auf Madeira bin, werde ich die Tour erneut buchen!

We enjoyed every little thing about this trip. This is definitely a must do trip when in Maderia. Chris the guide was very knowledgeable and was passionate about his work. Chirs was very informative and was great fun during the day. The Fanal forest experience was fantastic,,,, something extra special. Chris looked after us every step of the way. Chris was clearly an exceptionality gifted off road drive and responded to the groups wishes to either go mild or get more adventurous "we loved it"

Chris was absolutely brilliant from start to finish. The tour was very informative and his knowledge extensive. We saw loads of the island that we hadn’t seen before having already done east and west in the past. All of the places we visited were picturesque and we had plenty of time to look around without feeling rushed. We made many photos and memories. We enjoyed it so much we booked another tour with Chris. Adam and Sara

Unser Guide Chris war super freundlich und wusste sehr viel über die Natur, die Gegend, Traditionen und Historie der Insel. Wir hatten sehr viel Spaß und würden die Tour jederzeit weiterempfehlen.
