What to expect

  1. Pico Do Areeiro
    30m
    Begin your adventure at the breathtaking Pico do Areeiro, Madeira’s third-highest peak standing at 1,818 meters. From here, enjoy sweeping mountain views and dramatic landscapes that set the tone for the day.
  2. Balcoes de Ribeiro Frio
    1h 30m · Admission ticket not included
    Your next stop is Ribeiro Frio, here you will have a 1.5 hours lunch break, where you can enjoy a beautiful 30-40 minutes Levada walk to an incredible viewpoint (entrance fee of 5.50€ per person not included. If you want to do the walk you will need to inform the office so all the information on how and where to reserve the walk can be provided to you). If hiking isn’t your preference, spend your time exploring the traditional trout nursery, a peaceful alternative surrounded by lush forest. After that and if you're hungry you can ask a suggestion to the guide or choose one of the restaurants there.
  3. Santana
    20m
    Arriving in Santana, you’ll have a 20 minute break — ideal for a leisurely visit to the village. Don’t miss the iconic triangular thatched houses, a symbol of Madeira’s cultural heritage.
  4. Porto da Cruz
    20m
    In the charming seaside village of Porto da Cruz, enjoy a 20–30 minute stop. Visit the North Mills Distillery, one of the island’s oldest rum producers, and sample Madeira’s traditional sugarcane rum.
  5. Ponta de Sao Lourenco
    30m · Admission ticket not included
    End your tour at the striking Ponta do Rosto, located on the easternmost peninsula of Madeira. This must-see viewpoint offers dramatic scenery and sweeping views of both the north and south coasts — and on clear days, you may even spot Porto Santo Island in the distance.
