Pico do Areeiro with its panoramic views UNESCO Site: Forest of Laurissilva Northern Landscapes Santana Typical Houses
The Madeira East Tour will bring you to the highest peak accessible by car in Madeira, Pico do Areeiro, which features a spectacular view of all corners of Madeira. Depending on the cloud coverage, you will either see a fantastic "sea" of clouds or, the iconic terrain that surrounds the island. Another great stop is Ribeiro Frio. The area surrounding this location is part of the UNESCO site Laurissilva. This ancient forest is home to centuries-old Laurel Trees as well as indigenous flora that is only found in this part of Macronesia. The main stop of this Tour is Santana. Here you will find replicas of the typical houses that once prevailed as the main housing for the islanders with their thatched triangular roofs. There are a few restaurants in this area and, since this stop will be around lunchtime, enjoy some of the fantastic traditional cuisine Madeira has to offer. The final stops will be in the Machico area, the place where settlers first set foot on the island. In this area is also Ponta de São Lourenço. The Easternmost tip of the island, where you can take in the amazing view of the rocky cliffs. Places to see: Pico do Areeiro - Ribeiro Frio - Balcões - Faial - Portela - Ponta de Sao Lourenço - Machico - Santana

Dia em cheio!! Visitamos sítios lindos, o guia tem imensos conhecimentos sobre a ilha e é muito prestável e simpático. Recomendo!!!!
Our guide Pedro was very informative and had a good sense of humour. We had a great trip and being above the clouds at Pico Do Arieiro was really breathtaking. Loved the other stops too.
The tour was excellent. Our guide Pedro was great, very helpful and knowledgable. The landscapes of the north eastern Madeira were breathtaking and we got the chance to explore very different ecosystems on the tour.
Fantastic sightseeing tour with excellent guide! Enjoy Madeira from the top of the higest mountains down to sea level. A beautiful scenery. Recommended!
We did the Madeira East tour on December 27, 2024. Our guide/driver was Eduardo, who was excellent. He was knowledgable, informative and humorous…and an excellent driver. It’s hard to pick a highlight of our day because it was all fabulous; seeing the majestic mountain scenery from the summit of Pico de Arieiro, walking the levada and feeding chaffinches at Ribeiro Frio, seeing the Rocha do Navio cable car descending the cliffs, standing on the wonderful cliffs at the Ponta de Sao Laurenco and so much more. We came home with heads full of information and eyes full of beauty and grandeur. A fabulous trip. Thank you. Janice and Alan Taylor
Maximum satisfaction, Our driver and guide Edoardo was perfect. A day trip worth its price. Rastislav.
O guia era espetacular com muito conhecimento e experiência sobre a ilha! O grupo foi fantástico também e os locais dispensam apresentação :) A melhor poncha foi saboreada a 670 metros num local que recuamos 100 anos. Super recomendado.
Nice tour, excellent driver. Plenty of stops. Only improvement would be the stop in Santana, there is a nice picture with 2 houses but the tour is passing that place. The stop is at a different house next toa restaurant.
Es war eine sehr schöne Tour um den Osten der Insel kennen zu lernen. Der Tag ist wie im Fluge vergangen. Sehr netter Guido, hat die Gruppe perfekt betreut. Danke dafür.
