About This Adventure

Embark on an unforgettable 8-hour journey through Madeira's stunning landscapes, from the vibrant fishing village of Camara de Lobos to the serene beaches of Calheta. Experience breathtaking views along off-road trails, picturesque cliffs, and charming parishes, all while soaking in the island's tropical vibes and rich culture.

Duration: 8 hours

The town of Camara de Lobos is a mandatory stop early in the morning.

This land of fishermen, whose main specialization is fishing for black scabbardfish, owes its fame to the fishermen who paint the bay with their picturesque and very characteristic boats - the Xavelhas.

Lugar de Baixo one of the warmest areas of Madeira Island where the beach is mainly made up of pebbles. Madalena do Mar is a characteristic fishing village with a beautiful promenade along the pebble beach. Its location and the corresponding climate helped it to become one of the biggest banana producers in Madeira Island.

In Calheta we can see one of the yellow sand beaches that delight many. From the parish of Prazeres to Ponta do Pargo, we travel through the most forgotten part of the island in tourism, with breathtaking landscapes.

From the off-road trails to the viewpoints of stunning cliffs where the Lighthouse always serves as an azimuth.

We end the tour visiting the parishes of Paul do Mar and Jardim do Mar, where the vibes of the sea, the island and the tropical environment make the day end on a high note.
