What you can expect

Get ready to discover the enchanting landscapes of eastern Madeira, where every moment promises memories that will last a lifetime.

Your adventure begins at Pico do Areeiro, one of Madeira's highest peaks at 1,818 metres. From this vantage point, panoramic views unfold, revealing deep valleys and towering peaks. As you absorb the breathtaking scenery, a profound connection with the island’s natural beauty awaits.

Next, embark on the Levada dos Balcões walk, immersing yourself in Madeira’s UNESCO-listed Laurissilva forest. This charming trail follows a historic Levada, leading you to the stunning Balcões viewpoint, where you’ll be rewarded with panoramic views of verdant valleys and majestic peaks.

The journey then takes an exhilarating turn with an off-road adventure through Cova da Roda, a rugged landscape that showcases Madeira's untouched wilderness. As you navigate the trails, you’ll experience a rich tapestry of biodiversity in its purest form.

Next, step back in time in the quaint village of Santana, home to Madeira’s iconic thatched-roof houses, which have stood for over 250 years. These timeless structures are not just homes—they are living symbols of the island's enduring spirit and architectural heritage.

In Porto da Cruz, the air is filled with the enticing scent of rum as you visit a traditional distillery. Witness the time-honored processes that have made Madeira’s rum world-famous, and immerse yourself in the island’s rich distilling history.

Finally, your adventure culminates at Ponta de São Lourenço, the Dragon’s Tail of Madeira. This rugged peninsula, with its vibrant volcanic hues and dramatic cliffs, offers sweeping views of both the north and south coasts. Here, the island’s geological history is etched into every rock and wave, providing a stunning end to your journey.

This isn’t just a tour—it’s an exploration of Madeira’s culture, traditions, and the true spirit of the island. Committed to sustainable travel, it offers unforgettable experiences and emotions that will stay with you long after the adventure ends.
