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

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

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.

Be ready to join us on an unforgettable adventure that only few people get to experience on a jeep tour. Our first stop takes us to São Vicente waterfall that resembles a bride's veil. Continuing our tour, we visit the coastal town of Seixal, a hidden treasure with a black volcanic sand beach voted 3erd Best Beach in Europe and the secret place of Poças das Lesmas, where time stands still among ancient lava rock formations.

Our journey proceeds to Porto Moniz, where natural volcanic pools are waiting for us to immerse ourselves in the beauty of this unique place. Then, be ready to enjoy an amazing off-road experience as we head to the magical Fanal, one of the 7th natural wonders of Portugal. (Lunch break-not included)Continuing our journey, we go through Paúl da Serra, the largest plateau on the island (1400 mts high). Cabo Girão, one of the highest sea cliffs in the world at 580 meters awaits with an amazing panoramic view of the Atlantic Ocean and Câmara de Lobos (2 € not included).
