What You’ll Experience

Valley of the Nuns

The first stop of the tour is the not so famous but very beautiful Miradouro do Paradao. From this viewpoint you will see Funchal from above as well as the famous Nun´s Valley. It´s usually very quiet up here and very much "off the beaten path"

20 minutesAdmission Ticket Free

Pico do Arieiro

Madeira´s third highest peak. We try to arrive here early, before the crowds so we can best enjoy the amazing views, above the clouds hopefully! We don´t like giving set times but usually spend somewhere around 30 to 45 minutes up here which is usually enough to get to see the best sights.

30 minutesAdmission Ticket Free

Ribeiro Frio (Pass By)

Ribeiro Frio is well known for the rainbow trout farm. We drive by the large crowds and escape the tourist traps.

Santana

We make our way off-road and off the beaten path to Santana, one of Madeira´s most famous villages. Here we will see the traditional A-frame houses and stop at an authentic house to see how people use to live in this shantytown of Madeira. Next is Lunch at the famous Quinta do Furao restaurant with the best lunch in Santana, with great value and an incredible view!

2 hoursAdmission Ticket Free

Miradouro do guindaste

After lunch we stop at one of our favourite viewpoints on the North East of the island to see privileged views of the North East coast.

15 minutesAdmission Ticket Free

Engenhos do Norte

A stop is in order at the the small village of Porto Da Cruz, well known for it´s history in sugar and rum. We make a stop at the famous rum factory and of course try some of the best rum in the world!

30 minutesAdmission Ticket Free

Ponta de Sao Lourenco

Lastly we explore Ponta de Sao Lourenço, the most easterly peninsular on the island known for its magnificent volcanic rock formations and colours.

30 minutesAdmission Ticket Free

Miradouro da Ponta do Rosto

The final stop on our east tour to see the peninsular in all it´s glory!

10 minutesAdmission Ticket Free
