Madeira’s northeast coast is the island at its most wild and authentic. This minibus tour takes you along the dramatic northern sea cliffs to Porto da Cruz, up through terraced farmland to the famous Santana straw houses, and across to the rugged coastline viewpoints that most visitors to the south never reach. The north is greener, cooler, and more atmospheric than the tourist-facing south — and your guide knows every stop worth making.
The tour includes stops at Santana’s iconic A-frame thatched houses (a designated UNESCO site), the Ribeiro Frio trout farm set in ancient laurel forest, and one or more panoramic viewpoints across the island’s mountainous interior. A full day of Madeira beyond the brochure.
