Noordwestelijke terrassen en vulkanische zwembaden 4x4 volledige dagtour

Would give this company 6 stars if I could! We hired a car in Madeira, but this tour added so much to our experience and took us to places I would never have found (or been able to drive to!) Our guide, Nuno, had incredible local knowledge and driving skills, and really made our North West tour a trip to remember. We stopped along mountain roads for him to pick us fresh herbs, saw so many different fruit trees, stopped for delicious poncha in Sao Vicente, and saw some of the most beautiful views on the island. The offroad section was a particular highlight, as were the thrilling village roads. Feels just like you're in Jurassic Park/Middle Earth. I would book again in a heartbeat - thank you for such a memorable day!

We waren met 8 personen in een 4 x 4 busje voor de "Reis naar Oost Lava Pools en het Westen" excursie, en we waren er allemaal erg blij mee! Geweldig en betrouwbaar gezelschap, timing was perfect en we waren ruim op tijd terug op het schip voordat we vertrokken. Het ging precies zoals beschreven: we stapten uit om te wandelen bij de waterkanalen in een charmant bosgebied, hadden tijd bij de "Enchanted Forest", geweldige lunch stop, en twee haltes bij verschillende lavapoelen met kans om te zwemmen. Gids/chauffeur Diego was geweldig. We gingen midden april en het water in de lavapoelen (we stopten op twee verschillende locaties) was echt koud (zeewater, niet opgewarmd) , maar draaglijk voor een korte tijd, en de ervaring waard. Het eiland is absoluut prachtig en deze tour was perfect om het te zien! In één gedeelte waren we off road op aarde en grote stenen, zo hobbelig! De rest van de tijd waren we op de verharde snelwegen.

Our guide for the day was Dino. Friendly, humorous and informative. Pick up was easy, a stone’s throw from our hotel in Funchal. The Land Rover can fit 8 people but there were only 3 on our tour. We headed west out of Funchal and then north to Serra de Agua where there was a quick pit stop for coffee and pastel de Natas then onwards and off road climbing through the forest up towards Estanquinhos. There were stops along the way to walk a levada and admire and photograph the stunning views. Eventually, we emerged onto the plateau and headed northwest onto the eerie forest at Fanal and its 800 year old trees. From there the tour descends to Ribera da Janela and it’s photogenic rocky islet before continuing west to Porto Moniz for an excellent and typically Madeiran lunch, tomato soup with a poached egg in it (don’t knock it until you’ve tried it) and tuna with pepper and onions. After lunch and exploring the natural pools we followed the coat east to Seixal with its black volcanic beach and big breakers. Last stop was Sao Vincent’s for a taste of Madeira wine and a cheeky Pescador’s Poncha before heading back to Funchal.
