Continue to **Machico**, Madeira’s oldest town, with optional stops in the charming centre, the golden‑sand beach, or its historical monuments. Ascend to **Pico do Facho** at ~570 m, one of the island’s most scenic viewpoints, ideal for contemplating Madeira’s “dragon tail” coastline or watching aircraft land at the airport. Visit Ponta do Rosto on the extreme east side, where African winds shape the landscape into a desert‑like environment and reveal striking views over **Ponta de São Lourenço**. Traverse the island to the north and climb through the Laurissilva Forest to reach **Miradouro da** **Portela**, with lush‑green scenery over Madeira’s north coast. Finish at Quinta da Junta Garden in **Santo da Serra**, a local favourite where exotic plants, resident birds, and a hidden viewpoint create a peaceful end to the journey. --- What's included --------------- - 100% Private Tour, Never Shared - Personal Guidance by Ross - Exclusive Hybrid Suzuki Vitara - Complimentary Pick-up & Drop-off Service (Funchal, Caniço, C. de Lobos & Cruise Terminal) - Child Seats Available on Request - Fully Insured --- What's not provided ------------------- - Extra Activities - Food and Drinks From €80.00 / person 1.
