Escape the hustle and bustle of Funchal on a full-day scenic tour of the west of Madeira. Admire the unspoiled natural beauty of the area and visit the charming villages of Câmara de Lobos and Porto Moniz.

Next, head towards the Ribeira Brava and go north through the deep and narrow valleys of Serra D'Água. Upon arrival at Encumeada, enjoy an incredible view of the south and north coast of the island.

We had a day of rain so we didn’t see the best of Madeira but the guide was excellent trying to adapt to the weather .Loved that we had a mini bus rather than a huge coach making the day more intimate .The break in the morning and for lunch we’re perfect but the two trips to the waterfalls were uninspiring.Could the guide tell us when he is back driving what our next stop is as at one point we were stopping every 10 mins or so .Cut it down by 45 mins 👍🏻

Roberto was so knowledgeable and had a lovely calm energy that was helpful in maintaining stamina for an entire day tour. We chose this tour because it offered ample amount of time at the Porto Moniz pools, and it was the perfect amount of time. We felt that we saw and learned a lot in one day. Would highly recommend this tour.
