Why you’ll love this…

  • Discover São Vicente and Porto Moniz on Madeira's rugged north coast
  • Marvel at Cabo Girão, the highest sea cliff in Europe
What to expect

Departing from the heart of the Lido, you'll pass through the first traditional fishing village of Câmara de Lobos. The drive continues to Cabo Girão, the second-highest sea cliff in the world and the highest sea cliff in Europe.

Next, make your way to Ribeira Brava and head north, up through the deep and narrow valleys of Serra D'Água. You will then reach Encumeada a special place at the top of the valley where you will be met with an incredible view of both the south and the north coast of the beautiful island.

From sea level in Funchal, cross the mountain pass (from where both sides of the island are visible) down to the rugged beauty of the north coast, where Atlantic rollers describe a line of white surf below heroic cliffs. Make your way to São Vicente, one of the most predominant villages on the northern coast of Madeira. The next stop is at the beautiful village of Porto Moniz where you will have approximately 1 hour for lunch as well as time to admire the amazing volcanic swimming pools.

After lunch, you'll traverse Madeira's highest plateau with all its spectacular panoramas before heading home again: driving to Paul da Serra lies one of the biggest natural park reserves in the world.
