Description
Experience Madeira’s untamed north and northeast coast on a full-day all-inclusive small-group tour, where every detail is taken care of—transport, meals, activities, and even a professional photo session.
Start your journey by crossing the island’s highlands to the enchanting Fanal laurel forest, one of UNESCO’s treasures. Wander beneath ancient, moss-covered trees while your guide captures the moment with an atmospheric professional photoshoot in this magical setting.
From there, travel along dramatic coastal roads into the northeast, stopping at scenic viewpoints and the volcanic cliffs of Ribeira da Janela, shaped by the relentless Atlantic Ocean.
At midday, enjoy one of Madeira’s highlights—swimming in the natural lava pools of Porto Moniz, where volcanic rock meets crystal-clear seawater.
Lunch is included: taste the island’s traditional “espetada” (juicy beef skewered on bay-laurel wood) with fresh sides and bread, or a vegetarian alternative if preferred.
In the afternoon, visit the charming village of São Vicente and conclude your journey with a guided tasting of Madeira wines, learning how the volcanic soil creates their unique flavor.
Because this is an all-inclusive format, you don’t need to worry about extra costs—transfers, meals, tastings, tickets, and experiences are all covered. This day is designed to let you fully enjoy the best of Madeira’s northeast: mystical forests, rugged coasts, authentic cuisine, refreshing swims, and local wine.
Return in the evening with no worries—just memories and photos of an unforgettable day.
