Overview

With the South tour you will get to know the coastal area of Madeira all the way to the edge of the far West. Here you will find the famous lighthouse, which is a local heritage.

On the way you will see several fishing villages and the spectacular sea cliffs.

This tour is a good option for all seasons of the year, since you are most likely to find good weather along the South coast.
