The forested interior of Madeira is so remote that its special hideaways are not accessible by normal vehicle. This full day guided tour in your personal 4x4 will give you full access to some of the island's charms.
You'll be whisked up to Largo do Miranda lookout point, from where there is a panoramic view over Funchal bay and city. Then, head off-road to the mountainous Poiso area. The adventure continues as you climb to Pico de Areeiro, the island's highest point reachable by car, en route to Santo da Serra – with its backdrop of valleys – for a short levada walk.
Next up is an outdoors treat – catching your own lunch. Hook a trout from a stocked lake in a primeval laurel forest, before eating it al fresco. After lunch, there are more spectacular narrow roads before finishing the day at the easternmost part of the island, Ponta de Sao Lourenço, where you'll witness fabulous seascapes.
