Off-Roading Tour of Ponta do Pargo & Paul do Mar

  • 4 reviews | 30 travellers
    Highly recommended, with lots of adrenaline and access to places you wouldn't normally go to. The guide, Juan, was brilliant: very attentive and approachable. It's a shame we didn't stop at Cascata dos Anjos, which was one of the reasons I chose the tour, even though it was under construction. Still, the experience was very good.

Tour Details

We'll pick you up from your hotel at the designated time to begin this exciting off-roading tour in southern Madeira. Are you ready to explore its fascinating landscapes?

First, we'll head to a banana plantation, where we'll see how this fruit is cultivated from the vehicle.

Our next stop will be at a local distillery. Here, you'll see how the famous rums and gins of Madeira are produced! After discovering the elaboration process of these drinks, we'll head to a lookout located at the feet of the Ponta do Pargo Lighthouse, where you'll see how the waves of the Atlantic Ocean hit the cliffs in the area.

After admiring the views, we'll set off to Paul do Mar. In this picturesque fishing town in southern Madeira, you'll have 2 hours of free time to stroll and enjoy the exquisite traditional cuisine. After lunch, we'll go to Jardim do Mar, a small coastal town nearby, where we'll make a short stop to explore its charming streets.
