Overview

Enjoy a beautiful and pleasant tour alongside Madeira’s NorthWest coast in a 4x4 vehicle, small group up to 8 persons, thru the deep forest, forgotten and enchanted old roads. Travel along narrow and forgotten stone plastered roads and off road, with unic scenery. Get a glimpse into the true lifeblood which drives us through life. When the weather allows it, in Porto Moniz or at the Black Sandy Beach of Seixal, you can enjoy the warmth of the Portuguese sea waters.
