Why choose this Funchal tour ?

Starting off in Ponta do Sol, you’ll get great views of the south coast from Paul da Serra, 1400m above sea level. Then it’s on to Fanal, where some of the oldest Laurel trees on the island grow. Ruben says, ‘Madeira’s laurel forests are the largest surviving area of primary laurisilva woods anywhere. Some of the trees are thought to be around 800 years old, and the ecosystem is largely intact. These forests host around 100 endemic species, and they are protected as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.’

Pass typical ‘poios’ terraced farmland en route to Seixal beach for a swim. After this, we’ll head to Chão da Ribeira to savour a tasty local lunch. Chef Sérgio will show you how to make the classic grilled beef skewer, known in Portuguese as ‘espetada’, while you enjoy a glass of Madeira Wine as an apéritif. To wrap up your tour, we’ll visit São Vicente’s organic honey producer. Here, you’ll learn all about honey production, and you’ll try your hand at making Madeira’s traditional drink.
