Porto Moniz, Seixal, Fanal Forest, Cliff Skywalk in Open Roof 4X4

By True Spirit · listed in 4x4 jeep tours of west Madeira, Madeira tours with kids

Our take

For a first west coast trip, I'd put this near the top. It reaches all four places in one day. It also has the most reviews in our selection.

You follow the north coast towards Porto Moniz. You have about 75 minutes at the pools. The off-road section climbs towards Fanal for a 20-minute stop. The day also reaches Cabo Girão's glass platform.

The guide and central Funchal pickup are included. Pickup near Funchal port is included too. Set money aside for food and drinks. Entry to Cabo Girão and the Porto Moniz pools costs extra.

From the operator

In True Spirit's own words, from the Viator listing.

Embark from Funchal to the enchanting landscapes of Madeira’s North Coast. Discover São Vicente’s waterfall, resembling a delicate bridal veil, and explore Seixal, home to a stunning black volcanic beach ranked among Europe’s best. Continue to Chão da Ribeira, surrounded by lush green valleys and traditional agricultural landscapes.

Journey to Porto Moniz and its unique volcanic pools before venturing into Fanal, an ancient Laurissilva Forest filled with twisted, moss-covered trees. Cross Paúl da Serra, Madeira’s vast highland plateau at 1,400 metres, with breathtaking views over the Atlantic and sea of clouds. Then enjoy an exhilarating off-road descent through the island’s untamed terrain before reaching Ponta do Sol, where spectacular coastal views provide the perfect finale to your adventure.
