Join us in a full-day tour to the northwest side of the island of Madeira. We will be visiting some spectacular waterfalls, the black sand beach at Seixal, and the famous lava rock pool of Porto Moniz.

Highlights

  • Enjoy a rush-free experience
  • Have plenty of time for photographs

Description

After pickup at your accommodation, we will be crossing north through the second largest tunnel on the island into the Parish of Sao Vicente. After a small briefing about the trip and some instructions on safety, we will stop at the black sand beach of Seixal and the lava rock pools of Poco das Lesmas and Mata Setes. You'll get to see some spectacular waterfalls on the way. Porto Moniz will be our next stop. Here you will get the chance to swim in the most photographed lava rock pool in the world. After lunch, our destination will be the magical old forest of Fanal. This forest is part of Madeira's Laurissilva Forest. It's a sub-tropical forest mainly composed of trees of the laurel family and only seen in the Macaronesian Islands. The last stop before returning to Funchal will be at Ponta do Sol's famous Cascata dos Anjos, or Angel's fall, a waterfall on the middle of a road which locals call 'the car wash.'
