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.

Madeira sunset dinner cruise with eclipse experience

A sunset at sea is a highlight in itself. Add an eclipse to the mix and the result is an evening you'll be talking about long after you're home. This exclusive boat cruise gives you front-row seats to a celestial event that doesn't come around often, with the open sea and Madeira's beautiful coastline as your backdrop. As the boat cruises offshore, there's time to cool off with a swim before dinner is served on board. Relax into the pace of the evening, soak up the atmosphere and enjoy a fresh perspective on Madeira that many visitors never experience. We've thought of the details too, with eclipse viewing glasses included so you can enjoy the event safely. Whether you're on deck as the eclipse unfolds, this is an opportunity to witness a natural phenomenon that only comes around once in a while.
