Overview

With a mix of natural pools, a cable car ride, and even a waterfall, this tour is the perfect mix for a unique experience in the best island destination in the world.

All this is possible on this adventure and much more, combining going for a swim in the natural pools, tasting the famous and typical Poncha (rum, lemon, orange, and honey), and having a lunch stop for a typical Madeiran dish.

If that is not enough, we will also pass by famous waterfalls in São Vicente, and if you are a lover of heights, we will also visit Cabo Girão Skywalk, where you will be suspended at 580 meters of height, on the highest glass platform Skywalk in Europe.

We will also visit Ponta do Pargo and small villages with panoramic views over the Atlantic sea passing by Calhau of Achadas through the cable car, and visiting what is considered by some, as a paradise on earth.
