A compact open-top 4WD tour that pairs the vertigo of Cabo Girão’s glass skywalk with the maritime charm of Câmara de Lobos. Four hours of cliff-top viewpoints, forested passes, and a village wine stop.

You pull into a parking lip of volcanic rock and the ocean suddenly feels closer — a wind-creased plain that pushes at your jacket while the cliff stares you down. The open-top 4WD rolls along narrow roads where trees lean into the view and a glass-bottom skywalk juts out over 580 meters of drop; the sea below seems to test how steady your feet are.
