We loved the East island tour. There was so much to see.. Our multi lingual guide was amazing. He was so friendly and his communication was exemplary. We had time to explore lots of places and landscapes and we were educated about the nature of the island. We enjoyed it so much, we booked the West island tour. Thoroughly recommended.
Discover the east part of Madeira. After hotel pickup, start your tour by heading towards Pico do Arieiro, the highest mountain accessible by car and the third-highest of the island (1818m). Here you will be astonished by the fantastic views over the mountains and the nature of the island. Descend towards Ribeiro Frio located in the middle of the "Laurisilva" (local laurel forest). It's part of the World Heritage of UNESCO and a great spot to watch the nature.
Continuing along the north coast, you'll pass through Faial and arrive at Santana. This town is known for its typical and original thatched-roof houses. After lunch, admire Ponta de São Lourenço, with several rocky formations and impressive views. Last but not least, before returning to your hotel, visit Machico. It's the historic city where the discoverers landed on Madeira for the first time in 1419.
