Your Private Jeep & Cabriolet to Madeira’s Wild East:

Escape to Madeira’s wild side! Discover the dramatic landscapes and hidden gems of the East Coast on a private half-day cabriolet tour. Explore historic towns, witness breathtaking views, and experience unique local traditions.

We’ll begin our adventure by winding through the charming town of Machico, the first landing spot of Portuguese explorers in Madeira (1419). Explore its historic center, perhaps browse local artisan shops, and enjoy the charming atmosphere of this captivating town.

Our journey continues to Pico do Facho, a viewpoint at 586m altitude offering breathtaking panoramic views of Machico and the coastline stretching towards Ponta de São Lourenço. Capture stunning photos and marvel at the panoramic vistas of Madeira from this unique vantage point.

Continuing our journey, we’ll pass through Caniçal, using an old, scenic tunnel—a reminder of the ingenuity and resilience of the Madeiran people—on one of the regional roads, adding a touch of adventure to our drive towards the east.

Next, we’ll explore Ponta de São Lourenço, where we’ll witness the dramatic landscapes at Miradouro do Rosto, a viewpoint offering panoramic views of the rugged coastline and the vast Atlantic Ocean. Then, we’ll explore the surrounds of this edge, revealing unparalleled coastal vistas.

Leaving the south coast behind, we’ll cross the island to discover the lush, green north coast, a different side of Madeira. Discover the picturesque town of Porto da Cruz, nestled amidst vineyards and sugarcane fields on the north coast. Stroll along the promenade, visit the traditional Engenho de Santa Cruz (a steam-powered sugarcane mill—a unique testament to Madeira’s industrial past), and learn about the fascinating history of sugarcane production on the island. Enjoy the opportunity to try delectable treats like honey and molasses, or simply taste Madeira’s famous beverages—rum and poncha.
