Madeira, the garden of the Atlantic Ocean
Madeira is a lush green island belonging to Portugal, often referred to as the Garden of the Atlantic. It’s where wild nature meets Portuguese charm. During this 8-day self-drive journey, you’ll explore the island with complete freedom—dramatic cliffs, coastal roads, lively markets, and peaceful valleys. With your own rental car, you set the pace and enjoy scenic walks, local flavours, and breathtaking views.
Funchal, the capital of Madeira, is a must-see, but don’t miss São Vicente nestled in a lush northern valley, Calheta with its golden beaches, or São Lourenço, the striking peninsula in the east. And of course, Pico Ruivo—the highest point on the island.
This tailor-made trip is perfect for independent travellers looking for a blend of nature, culture, and a touch of adventure.
Madeira is best discovered with all your senses—every twist in the road brings something new.
Highlights of this tour through Madeira
Porto Moniz
Explore the island’s raw beauty in this unique coastal town. The lava rock pools, naturally filled with crystal-clear seawater, are perfect for a refreshing dip. The dramatic scenery makes this a must-visit stop on your road trip.
Monte
Take in panoramic views and tropical gardens during your visit—starting with a scenic cable car ride from Funchal. Wander through lush greenery and visit the iconic Nossa Senhora do Monte Church. Then cap it off with a thrilling traditional toboggan ride in a wicker sled—a uniquely Madeiran mix of fun and tradition.
Cabo Girão
Dare to step onto the 580-metre-high glass Skywalk and you’ll be rewarded with breathtaking views over Funchal, the Atlantic Ocean, and Madeira’s rugged coastline. Snap some unforgettable photos of this natural wonder with the sun shimmering off the sea.
