Dit kun je verwachten

Op deze 4x4 tour ontdek je de avontuurlijke kant van Madeira. Onderweg kom je langs oogstrelende kusten, ongerepte bossen en duurzame producenten. Je vergaapt je aan het indrukwekkende landschap en komt meer te weten over de cultuur van het eiland. Ruben, een van onze deskundige lokale gidsen, zegt: "Op deze tour ontdek je de geheimen van poncha, de populaire drank op het eiland op basis van rietsuikerrum, vruchtensap en lokale honing. Maar doe het rustig aan - de fruitige, verfrissende poncha is sterker dan je denkt.”

Je trapt af in Ponta do Sol en hebt een episch uitzicht op de zuidkust vanaf het plateau van Paul da Serra, 1400m boven de zeespiegel. Dan ga je naar Fanal, waar enkele van de oudste laurierbomen van het eiland groeien. Ruben zegt: "Madeira's Laurierbossen zijn de grootste overgebleven primaire Laurisilva bossen ter wereld. Sommige bomen zijn vermoedelijk zo'n 800 jaar oud en het ecosysteem is grotendeels intact. Het bos herbergt ongeveer 100 inheemse soorten en is een beschermde werelderfgoedlocatie van UNESCO.”

Je komt langs de traditionele 'poios' landbouwterrassen en neemt een duik in zee bij het strand van Seixal. Om dan in Chão da Ribeira te smullen van een lokale lunch. Chef Sérgio laat je zien hoe je de klassieke gegrilde rundvleesspies - in het Portugees bekend als 'espetada' – maakt. En je komt al vast in de stemming met een glas Madeirawijn als aperitief. Als je liever geen vlees eet, kun je kiezen voor een veganistische hamburger. Je sluit de tour af in São Vicente waar je een biologische honingproducent ontmoet. Je komt alles te weten over de honingproductie en probeert zelf de traditionele drank van Madeira, poncha, in elkaar te flansen.

    De gids was achterin niet goed te verstaan. Bij een open dak zou een microfoon en speaker achterin kunnen helpen.

    We have today been on the excursion below and are very disappointed. We were held up due to other customers being told the wrong date on their booking and were still in breakfast when we arrived to collect them. This meant only 10 minutes to get out of van at first stop them hurried back to set off to the Forest. On arrival we were told to be back at van in 30 minutes. After waiting at van for an hour with other customers we rang TUI as non of the drivers could be found. In carpark 2 hours

    Prachtig om zo hoog in de bergen te rijden en zo nu en dan offroad. Daar zou je als toerist alleen niet kunnen komen. Veel info. over Madeira van de enthousiaste chauffeur. Niet altijd te volgen, praat snel. Stond ook open voor vragen van de deelnemers.

    De gids was ontzettend enthousiast. Hij vertelde veel over het land en deed deze excursie met veel passie en plezier. We hebben een mooie ervaring opgedaan met deze tour. Veel kunnen zien. Halverwege de excursie hebben wij een fantastische lunch gehad. De locatie, het eten en vriendelijkheid van de mensen maakte dat deze lunch heerlijk was. Zeker een aanrader!

    Leuk is de rit tussen kleine weggetjes. Verder is de lunch uitstekend. Minder aan te bevelen zijn de stops bij de zee en het bos. De laatste is veel te kort. Wel graag aanpassen dat de inzittenden van de jeep van plek moeten veranderen. Nu zaten wij de hele route achterin. Dat is niet de meest lekkere olek

Northwest Madeira 4x4 Tour with Laurisilva forest and tastings

Taking in coastal gems, wild forests and sustainable producers, this 4x4 tour showcases Madeira's adventurous side. You'll experience the drama of Madeira's scenery from up close and get an insight into the island's culture, too. Ruben, one of our expert local guides, says, "Get ready to learn the secrets of mixing poncha, the much-loved island tipple made with sugar cane rum, fresh juice and local honey. Be careful, though – poncha's fruity, refreshing taste hides a serious kick."Starting off in Ponta do Sol, you'll get great views of the south coast from Paul da Serra, 1400m above sea level. Then it's on to Fanal, where some of the oldest Laurel trees on the island grow. Ruben says, "Madeira's laurel forests are the largest surviving area of primary laurisilva woods anywhere. Some of the trees are thought to be around 800 years old, and the ecosystem is largely intact. These forests host around 100 endemic species, and they are protected as a UNESCO World Heritage Site."Rumble past typical ‘poios' terraced farmland en route to Seixal beach for a swim. After this, we'll head to Chão da Ribeira to savour a tasty local lunch. Chef Sérgio will show you how to make the classic grilled beef skewer, known in Portuguese as ‘espetada', while you enjoy a glass of Madeira Wine as an apéritif. There's also a vegan burger option. To wrap up your tour, we'll visit São Vicente to meet an organic honey producer. Here, you'll learn all about honey production, and you'll try your hand at making Madeira's traditional drink, poncha.

Full-day eastern Madeira 4x4 tour with lunch

Full-day eastern Madeira 4x4 tour with lunch

Set off on a 4x4 tour that gives back to the local economy and helps keep Madeira green. Your action-packed day takes in gems like the village of Machico, UNESCO-listed laurel forests and Funchal Ecological Park. What's more, you'll do it all with the help of a local expert. Rúben, one of our guides, says, "wild and untamed nature is Madeira's most precious treasure. Make memories with an experience that the world will thank you for."During the months of October to April, your first stop is at Funchal Ecological Park, where a sustainable activity will take place, contributing to the conservation of the endemic flora of the Island. Next, you'll visit the village of Machico for a look around. When the island was discovered in 1419 by Portuguese explorers, this is where they first landed.Heading off-road towards the north, you'll zigzag through an ancient laurel forest – a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1999 – on scenic trails towards the mountain town of Santana to see its steep-roofed, straw-thatched homes. After a well-deserved lunch break in a typical local restaurant, you'll round off with a pit stop at a nearby viewpoint, offering knockout coastal panoramas all the way to Madeira's easternmost point, the São Lourenço peninsula. Plus, there's a photo stop at a waterfall, Cascada de Agauge, on the itinerary, too. If you're visiting from May to September, we switch up the order of your tour, so you start your trip to Machico to learn about how Madeira was discovered by Portuguese explorers. Follow up with a swim at the golden beach of Machico and a 30-minute walk along the farm and forest trail of Levada do Castelejo, before a visit to Sao Jorge where you'll see a 300-year-old watermill that's still turning with the flow of the water. Then, it's lunch in Santana and an off-road ramble through Laurissilva Forest, a photo stop by a waterfall and ending in Pico do Arieiro in the afternoon.

The coastal views here are some of the best around, so don't forget your camera. Mariana adds, "the cliff is around 580 metres high, making it one of the tallest in Europe.

Then, you'll head to the coastal town of Riberia Brava, before a stroll through a banana plantation in Madalena do Mar.Next, we'll head up the 1,500m-high Paúl da Serra plateau before descending on Porto Moniz, famous for its natural lava rock swimming pools. A typical lunch freshly prepared with local produce awaits in the village. Rounding off the day is a poncha drink demonstration and tasting in Câmara de Lobos – a favourite holiday spot of Winston Churchill. Mariana says "be careful – poncha is so fruity and refreshing, but it hides a serious brandy kick."

Madeira Monte Palace Tropical Gardens with optional toboggan ride

The Monte Palace Tropical Gardens float a thousand metres above Funchal, so breathe deeply and enjoy the fresh mountain air on this half-day tour. You'll begin with a visit to the village of Monte, before heading to the main event – 70,000 square metres of themed gardens, sculptures, wildlife and water features.There's something new around every corner of this sprawling garden. Head to the lake to see koi carp, a waterfall and swans paddling by, stroll through the forested area to appreciate Madeira's native plants and make sure you visit the Japanese and Oriental gardens for intricate bridges, Buddha statues and incredible city views from the pagoda. There're also paths you can follow to see hundreds of sculptures and traditional azulejo – intricately painted ceramic tiles that tell the story of Portugal's history and culture. In Monte village, you'll have the option to pick up the pace with an experience that screams Madeira – a ride back down the hill in a wicker toboggan. It's the traditional way down and quite an adrenaline rush. The toboggan ride is an added cost, but if you choose not to take it, you'll enjoy a slower, yet equally scenic route down the mountain and back to your hotel.
