Full Day East Tour at Pico do Arieiro and Santana with Pickup
Overview
Why explore the East of Madeira in a noisy, polluting car when you can experience it in silence, comfort, and style?
We don't just show you places– we help you feel the heart of Madeira’s wild side.
Our electric, quiet vehicles– better for the planet & for your senses. You'll hear birdsongs, the crash of waves & the breeze.
With only 7 guests per tour, you will enjoy:
- caring guide
- comfort
- cozy atmosphere and attention
- relaxed journey tailored to your pace & interests
We’ll journey from sky-high mountain peak to lush green valleys, enjoy a peaceful levada walk, stop in a charming village for a local lunch & a glimpse of Madeira’s iconic triangle houses. You’ll stand above the ocean on a glass viewpoint & explore a dramatic, windswept peninsula. Plus, we’ll surprise you with a few hidden gems off the beaten path.
The tour lasts between 6,5 to 8 hours. We don't watch the clock, we follow the magic, we go at your pace.
