Madeira Seekers: West Island Full Day Tour Madeira Seekers: West Island Full Day Tour No Data

Description


The tour starts by heading out to Câmara de Lobos for a quick stop before taking the scenic route up to Cabo Girão. After a quick photo stop the journey continues down along the coast to Ribeira Brava where there's a stop to have a look round the town. From there the tour normally heads straight up into the mountains with a 20 minute stop for a walk along a Lavada. However, due to the storms a few days earlier several of the mountain roads were closed, and weather conditions were poor - so we took a much longer, but possibly more scenic route up into the mountains and down the other side into Porto Moniz. Here there is a stop for an included lunch and a look round the town before the tour heads along the North coast taking a stop at a view point outside Seixal and a stop in São Vicente. From São Vicente the tour returns back through the mountains to the South coast and Funchal. The tour I was on was well run with an excellent driver who explained a lot about what we were seeing and some of the history of the area.
