Discover the soul of Madeira, join a local guide on a scenic off-road journey through villages, vineyards, and breathtaking viewpoints with stories, flavours, and traditions only a native can share.
Begin your 4hour experience directly at your accommodation, where your guide will be waiting to pick you up with a sign showing the name under which you made your booking.

Start your journey towards Câmara de Lobos, driving along scenic, non-touristic roads. Along the way, hear insights into the local agriculture, including a fantastic view over the Socorridos Valley and the Coral beer factory, a symbol of Madeiran pride.

Once you arrive in the picturesque fishing village of Câmara de Lobos, learn about the history of the village and its traditions, including the famous local drink “Poncha.” Learn its origin and how it’s made.

Walk around the village, passing by a Lobo Marinho sculpture made from recycled materials and a statue of Winston Churchill painting the bay of this beautiful village.

After this scenic and informative stop, continue your journey towards Estreito de Câmara de Lobos, the hometown of your guide. Driving through truly authentic roads lined with banana plantations and vineyards, gain deep insights into the Madeiran lifestyle. Hear firsthand knowledge about farming in the area.

Stop at the heart of Estreito, at Quinta de Santo António. Nestled among vast vineyards, André’s father also grows sugar cane. With privileged views over private agricultural terraces, hear a detailed explanation of local farming from bananas, grapes, and sugar cane.

Ascend to the level of the Levada do Norte, where your guide explains the functioning of the island’s famous levadas and irrigation systems.

Stop at a local bar, where you can enjoy an authentic poncha made the traditional Madeiran way with a step-by-step explanation by the bartender.

After this break, continue along stunning and unique local roads that only a guide who grew up here would know. Make your way to Boca dos Namorados, a breathtaking viewpoint overlooking Curral das Freiras. Hear the fascinating history of the village, the viewpoint, and the nearby village Jardim da Serra, along with local stories passed down through generations.

From here, go off-road for the first time, passing various fruit trees such as cherry and chestnut trees again with detailed explanations by your guide, who speaks with pride about his land.

Continue to the “peak” of Jardim da Serra via unique routes and begin your second off-road section, a gentle drive with fantastic views over the Cabo Girão vineyards. After this scenic and informative route, head to the famous Cabo Girão viewpoint, where you’ll have time to walk around and enjoy one of Madeira’s most iconic views from its glass skywalk, standing over 580 meters high.

Make your way through the village of Quinta Grande, again taking rural roads where your guide will continue to share his deep knowledge of local life and farming. At this point, you can just sit back, relax, and enjoy the views on the way back to your accommodation.
