Madeira Surreal East Tour
By Madeira Surreal · listed in east Madeira day tours from Funchal
I'd choose this for a small group with time to eat in Santana. The 90-minute stop leaves more time there than the first-ranked minibus.
Pico do Arieiro gets 40 minutes. Ribeiro Frio follows with 45 minutes for PR11. Book its 10:00 to 10:30 entry slot after reserving the tour.
The minibus collects you outside your hotel and returns you there. There is wifi on board. Allow for meals and the separate trail ticket in your budget.
