Departing daily from Funchal’s iconic CR7 Hotel, this tour takes you along scenic mountain roads, fishing villages, vineyards, and towering cliffs.
Câmara de Lobos – The Fisherman’s Village: We begin in the picturesque village of Câmara de Lobos, famous for its traditional fishing culture, colorful boats, and narrow streets. During this 40 to 45-minute stop, you will have plenty of time to walk around, learn about local life, and capture photos at Sir Winston Churchill’s favorite painting spot.Cabo Girão Viewpoint: Next, we head to Cabo Girão for a 30-minute stop at one of Europe’s most thrilling viewpoints. Suspended 589 meters above sea level, this glass skywalk platform offers jaw-dropping, panoramic views over the Atlantic Ocean and the dramatic ocean cliffs below. (Note: Entry ticket to the Skywalk is not included.)
Madeira Forest Drive – Vineyards & Nature: Our journey continues through the lush Madeira forest, where you will breathe in fresh mountain air on an exciting off-road drive past terraced vineyards and fragrant eucalyptus trees. This scenic route fully immerses you in the island’s vibrant greenery and peaceful rural atmosphere.
Boca da Corrida: We then pause for a short photo stop at Boca da Corrida, a tranquil lookout offering sweeping panoramic views over Madeira’s central mountain range. It is the ideal spot to capture the rugged ridge landscapes and wild beauty of the island’s interior.
Boca dos Namorados: Finally, we stop for photos at Boca dos Namorados, which translates to “Lovers’ Mouth”, one of the most romantic viewpoints on the island. From here, you can enjoy stunning vistas looking straight down into Curral das Freiras (Nuns Valley) and out across the dramatic surrounding peaks.
