1 / 10Combine a dramatic 8-hour mountain and coastal 4x4 journey across Madeira's volcanic peaks with a 3-hour catamaran cruise hunting dolphins and whales. This dual-adventure blends rugged off-road exploration of Europe's highest cliff with marine wildlife spotting along the island's south coast.
Starting our tour with amazing views over Funchal´s Bay, we drive uphill to Boca dos Namorados, at nearly 1000 mts high above sea level, where we will be able to see the famous village of Curral das Freiras (Nun's Valley). Going higher to Boca da Corrida through a spectacular off road with an elevation of about 1200 mts, you will be astonished by the main volcanic complex and highest mountains of the island. From there, we go downhill to Jardim da Serra, place known by its cherry production. Here we will have a quick stop, where you can enjoy a portugues coffee, natural tea or the very traditional drink Poncha (not included), freshly made by a local. We will continue towards Cabo Girão, the highest cliff in Europe and second in the World with 580 mts, better known for its renovated viewpoint with suspended glass floor. Later, we will finish our tour at the warm and traditional fishing village of Câmara de Lobos visiting a Madeira Wine Lodge, where our guests will have the opportunity to taste (included) the famous Madeira wine (Sweet / Medium Sweet / Dry / Medium Dry).
After the Jeep tour, our guests will be dropped off at Funchal’s Harbor to start the Dolphin & Whale Watching Trip. Come on board on the Catamaran for a relaxing trip along the south coast of Madeira. The boat trip takes 3 hours with strong possibilities of watching Dolphins & Whales in their natural habitat. During the trip, the crew will give you detailed information about the cetacean species that you are able to see.In the summer months there is the possibility of swimming below Cabo Girao cliff. In case you don’t see any cetaceans, we offer a second boat trip. This trip ends in Funchal’s Harbor.
Visit April–October for reliable calm seas and higher marine wildlife sightings; avoid November–March when Atlantic swells make dolphin spotting less likely and mountain passes may close due to weather.
