Porto Moniz Natural Swimming Pools

Porto Moniz is one of the highlights of the West Tour and the reason why most of our visitors book this tour. The natural pools covered by volcanic lava make this town truly something out of the ordinary. Beautiful and attractive are the words that describe this magnificent location. At this stop, we have time to swim in the natural pools and have time to eat something. P.S. Please note: the entrance fee to the pools is not included; it costs 3 euros per person. Pools are paid because there are other pools that are free. It is an option to choose from. Be careful not to leave wet towels or bathing suits on the van's upholstery, as this will damage the Seats. Information From June until October is 2 hours of Stop ..From November until May is 1 hour and half of Stop... Please Read Dear Costumer all the information before you book. Please take note: we do not possess divine power to alter the weather. If the natural pools are closed due to strong swell, it is for your own safety...

Posto Florestal Fanal

Fanal Forest, what words are needed? It's a forest straight out of a movie scene. When Nature presents us with fog, this is the highlight of the West Tour. The centuries-old trees that date back to the discovery and colonization of Madeira Island. These are living trees; the photos taken don't express their beauty and magic. It's a unique and rare place on Madeira Island that should be visited and contemplated without destroying or polluting. P.S. It was here in this forest that the 2023 Star Wars film was shot.
