“A great day out exploring the east of the island. Our lovely driver, Alex, took us to so many beautiful places with plenty of time to wander and take photos. We never felt rushed. My favourite part was the Miradour dos Balcões where the birds fed on our hands. The off-roading bit was fun too - especially for those in the back with top down! Alex booked some of us into a restaurant in Santana which was lovely and good value for money. I can recommend the Black Scabbard and banana which is a local speciality. I'd definitely recommend this tour as you see so much in just one day.”

We got to stop for fresh water running off the mountains, and a local traditional Santa house for a coffee liquor. I strongly suggest taking this tour as part of your Madeira experience.”
