The van hums away from Funchal and the Atlantic opens like a wide, cool hand—salt on your skin, cliffs rising to meet the sky. You move slowly but deliberately: a glass skywalk, a village bay, a small museum with an elevator and the low hum of an accessible lift. The company’s off-road chair negotiates gravel and ramps, giving views that often sit just out of reach for standard wheelchairs.
