What to expect

Departing from the heart of the Lido, you'll pass through the first traditional fishing village of Câmara de Lobos. The drive continues to Cabo Girão, the second-highest sea cliff in the world and the highest sea cliff in Europe.

Next, make your way to Ribeira Brava and head north, up through the deep and narrow valleys of Serra D'Água. You will then reach Encumeada a special place at the top of the valley where you will be met with an incredible view of both the south and the north coast of the beautiful island.

From sea level in Funchal, cross the mountain pass (from where both sides of the island are visible) down to the rugged beauty of the north coast, where Atlantic rollers describe a line of white surf below heroic cliffs. Make your way to São Vicente, one of the most predominant villages on the northern coast of Madeira. The next stop is at the beautiful village of Porto Moniz where you will have approximately 1 hour for lunch as well as time to admire the amazing volcanic swimming pools.

After lunch, you'll traverse Madeira's highest plateau with all its spectacular panoramas before heading home again: driving to Paul da Serra lies one of the biggest natural park reserves in the world.

Levada da Silveira hiking tour
Activities

Levada da Silveira hiking tour

Follow the smell of eucalyptus and wild herbs as you hike along the Levada da Silveira. As you walk the 9.5-kilometre trail, you'll be rewarded with a canopy of greenery in the Laurissilva Forest before the path opens out onto views over the town of Santana. Other hikes on the island offer big, busy, dramatic experiences, but this levada is all about the cool, calm and more subtle side of the island, with fewer crowds jostling for the same view. It's a moderate trail that takes around four hours and is ideal if you're a nature lover who's happy with heights and a short tunnel section.
