Madeira West Island Tour: Porto Moniz Natural Pools, Cabo Girão Skywalk & Câmara de Lobos

Make the most of your stay in Madeira with a fully customizable private sightseeing ride exploring the island’s spectacular west coast. Relax in the comfort of your own vehicle as your Welcomer shares local stories, island history, and insights into Madeira’s volcanic landscapes and coastal traditions.

Suggested Itinerary

Begin your ride at 1Câmara de Lobos, a colorful fishing village nestled between steep cliffs and the Atlantic Ocean. Your driver will explain the village’s maritime heritage while you enjoy views of the harbor and surrounding hills.

Continue toward 2Cabo Girão Skywalk, where one of Europe’s highest sea cliffs reveals breathtaking views over Madeira’s dramatic coastline. The glass skywalk offers a thrilling perspective of the ocean far below.

The journey then follows Madeira’s scenic coastal roads toward 3Ribeira Brava, a relaxed stop where lush valleys meet the sea and local cafés provide a glimpse into everyday island life.

As the landscape becomes more rugged, you’ll arrive at 4São Vicente, where towering mountains and volcanic valleys highlight the wild beauty of Madeira’s north coast.

Next, stop at 5Seixal Viewpoint, one of the island’s most photogenic viewpoints where dramatic cliffs, waterfalls, and black sand beaches create a striking landscape.

Continue to 6Porto Moniz Natural Pools, where volcanic rock formations create natural swimming pools filled with Atlantic water. Many visitors choose to relax here, explore the coastline, or enjoy lunch at nearby seaside restaurants.

Before returning to Funchal, cross the open landscapes of 7Paul da Serra Plateau, a high plateau that reveals another side of Madeira’s geography with sweeping views across the island.

At the end of your sightseeing ride, your friendly Welcome Driver will drop you off at your accommodation.
