North Madeira Island Guided Tour

  • 43 reviews | 303 travellers
    Having previously done other activities on the island, there were places where visits overlapped. To offer some constructive criticism, one should consider the town being visited and the monuments or decorations on display at that time. For example, in San Vicente we spent an hour with hardly anything to see, while in Santa Cruz the streets and squares were overflowing with Christmas decorations, which we barely had time to see in 30 minutes.

North Madeira Island Tour

At 9 am, we'll pick you up from your hotel in Madeira and set off for the northernmost part of the island.

We'll start the tour of the north of Madeira by visiting the city of São Vicente. This town, famous for its volcanic caves, is located at the mouth of the Ribeira Grande.

We'll continue the tour to the north of the island in the picturesque village of Ponta Delgada. There we'll visit the Senhor Bom Jesus Church, whose origins date back to the 15th century. The next stop will be in the rural village of Arco de São Jorge, where you'll have two hours of free time for lunch.

After regaining our strength, we'll head towards the village of Cabanas de São Jorge to enjoy its spectacular views of the northern coast of Madeira. The route will continue with a visit to a sugar mill in Porto da Cruz, which has been operating uninterruptedly since 1927.

We'll then move on to the Pico do Facho viewpoint to enjoy the panoramic views it offers of the town of Machico and the Ponta de São Lourenço. The last stop will be in Santa Cruz, one of the oldest villages on the island.

Finally, at 5 pm we'll drop you off at your hotel in Madeira.
