➤ It is the highest sea cliff in Europe (and the second-highest in the world) at 580 meters. On the edge, there is a suspended glass platform. This skywalk is a perfect photo location. Even if you are not comfortable enough to stand on the glass, you can still enjoy the surrounding views of Câmara de Lobos and Funchal.

➤ Traveling along the coast, we reach Ribeira Brava, its name means “wild river”, it derives from the stream of water that crosses the village. Its a Quick Stop in São Sebastião Viewpoint to admire the views of this typical local village.

➤ Contrasting from the previous stops, we drive to the magical forest of Fanal, renowned for its ancient trees and mystical atmosphere, often shrouded in fog that enhances its ethereal beauty. The forest is part of the Laurisilva, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and offers visitors a unique experience with its twisted trees and serene landscapes. A 20-25 Minutes Stop at the Fanal Merendas Park. (Traditional Surprise Drink with madeira Cookies)

➤ This Stop is in one of the most beautiful viewpoints of the Island, Located precisely at the top of the Ribeira da Janela parish, in Eira da Achada, this viewpoint allows you to see the parishes of Seixal, São Vicente and Ponta Delgada. The picture is completed, of course, with the beauty of the rugged and rocky outline typical of the coastline of this region of Madeira.

➤ Before Lunch just a quick stop at the Viewpoint Ilheus da Ribeira da Janela. The views here are incredible. A historic point in the island. Such serenity and natural beauty all around.

➤ At lunchtime, we arrive at a village located by the sea called Seixal. It's a small village on the ocean side, part of the municipality of Porto Moniz, with just over 700 inhabitants. Seixal is known for its natural pools and black sand beach, but there are other treasures to discover, such as its terraced vineyards.
It is lunch break time, and we can lunch in one of the few local restaurants, therefore we stay in Seixal for about 90 minutes. Before Lunch we will stop at the Natural Pools where you can have a swim. (Tickets’ is Included) Also known as “Poças das Lesmas”, found near Laje Beach, often referred to as "Jamaica Beach."
In this sheltered area, volcanic rock formations create natural pools with a unique shape. The dark tones of the rocks contrast beautifully with the turquoise waters of the Atlantic Ocean, crafting a stunning scene that cannot be overlooked.

➤ After lunch, we drive to a place called “Chão da Ribeira”. The landscape here is dominated by the characteristic exuberance of the Laurissilva forest. The great variety of flora present in Chão da Ribeira offers the opportunity to take a close look at the wealth of the indigenous and exotic vegetation that marks the landscape of the island. This bucolic view is complemented by the presence of farmland next to the river bed, with the typical terraces and tool sheds and old traditional Madeiran Houses.

➤ Driving towards São Vicente we will find another beautiful viewpoint of Madeira. This viewpoint overlooks Véu da Noiva (Bride’s Veil) waterfall. The waterfalls down from 30 meters high into the Atlantic Ocean.

➤ The next stop is at the village of São Vicente. Most precisely at Nossa Senhora de Fátima Chapel. Thus, it is not surprising that one of the ex-libris of the municipality is a very peculiar religious monument. Situated on the top of a hill, this small temple, whose façades are painted in white, contrasts with its green surroundings. Its unusual typology catches the eye: it is a quadrangular, tower-shaped building with a marked verticality, finished in a spire.

➤ After a stepping exercise, we drive to Serra de Agua local Poncha Tavern. Very authentic and stylish place to have an amazing, fresh poncha, made right in front of you. Also peanuts are served with every order and shells have to be thrown on the floor. Very cool experience (Drinks Included in the Tour)
