Spend a full day exploring Madeira’s contrasting landscapes on the Sunset Seekers Buggy Tour from Calheta. This eight-hour experience combines demanding trails, mountain scenery, waterfalls, forests and coastal villages on an extensive route between the south and north sides of the island.

Depart from Calheta Marina and climb towards the Rabaçal Viewpoint, where green valleys and rugged mountains replace the sunny coastal scenery. The route continues through Madeira’s highlands towards Fanal, an area known for its ancient Laurissilva trees and atmospheric mountain landscape.

From Fanal, follow the route towards the Ribeira da Janela Viewpoint and the Ribeira da Pedra Branca Waterfall. Streams, steep valleys and dense vegetation accompany the descent towards Madeira’s north coast.

Continue through Seixal and Ribeira do Inferno before reaching São Vicente. This section reveals a wilder side of Madeira, shaped by imposing mountains, narrow valleys and abundant freshwater.

The return journey climbs back into the mountains towards Bica da Cana and the Molinas Viewpoint. Along the way, varied terrain and challenging obstacles put your buggy-driving skills to the test while revealing wide views across Madeira’s interior.

Before returning to Calheta, the route visits the Anjos Waterfall, where water cascades directly over the old coastal road. After a day filled with off-road driving, forests, waterfalls, mountains and coastline, complete the journey back at Calheta Marina.

This full-day tour is suited to adventurous travellers who want more than a short buggy experience and are ready to discover some of Madeira’s most impressive inland and coastal landscapes.
