Experience the best of Madeira Island in just one day — from the dramatic cliffs of the west coast to the lush landscapes of the east. This full-day tour is designed for travellers who want to discover both the island’s main highlights and its hidden gems, without the stress of large tour buses or overcrowded stops. Travel comfortably in a small 8-seater minibus, guided by a local expert who brings Madeira’s culture and nature to life.
Your comprehensive coastal tour begins with a 3-hour discovery of Funchal. Your journey then takes you along the eastern shores past Machico and the fishing village of Caniçal, with a stop at the dramatic Ponta de São Lourenço viewpoint. In Santana, you'll explore traditional thatched houses before continuing along the northern coast with its green cliffs and panoramic views at Miradouro da Beira da Quinta.
A highlight of your tour is Porto Moniz, where you'll spend 90 minutes at the natural lava pools. The western route includes visits to Ponta do Pargo lighthouse and Paul do Mar's seaside promenade. On your return journey, you'll experience the thrill of Cabo Girão's glass skywalk 580 meters above the ocean before passing the colourful fishing bay of Câmara de Lobos. This tour perfectly balances scenic drives with strategic stops at Madeira's most spectacular locations.
