What to expect

With dramatic landscapes, culture and nature wrapped into one, this full day tour of Madeira has it all. There's the Cabo Girão Skywalk for starters, Eira do Serrado viewpoint and finally Monte, where a hair-raising 3km toboggan ride to Livramento is on the cards.

First up, are Madeira's most stunning panoramas. The Skywalk at Cabo Girão, the highest sea cliff in Europe, certainly delivers with a glass viewing platform that looks down a whopping 580m. Afterwards, you'll journey inland to the Pico dos Barcelos viewpoint overlooking Funchal, and further up to Eira do Serrado.

From here you'll be afforded a sweeping view of Nun's Valley and the peaks surrounding it. The last portion of the tour sees you in Monte to visit an estate of a wealthy family and the Sanctuary of Nossa Senhora. Now comes the experience to write home about - a wicker toboggan ride down from Monte to Livramento. But don't worry, guides control the speed with ropes for you.

Nat Geo Day Tour: Sustainable Agriculture in Quinta Pedagógica da Camacha
Excursions & day trips

Nat Geo Day Tour: Sustainable Agriculture in Quinta Pedagógica da Camacha

Drive through Funchal's bustling town and Madeira's magnificent rolling hills towards Quinta Pedagogica da Camacha, a small farm committed to sustainable agriculture. Here, your National Geographic-trained guide will offer insights into the region and introduce you to the farm's owner, Bruno Santos. Having left accounting for agriculture, Bruno now dedicates his life to helping his neighborhood through sustainable farming, a lowered environmental footprint, and community outreach. Follow Bruno through flowering groves as you explore the grounds. You'll learn about the many uses for their freshly grown herbs and visit their strawberry plantation. Observe the fields and poios—what Madeirans call the terraced areas where they grow their crops—as you learn about the farm's produce and animal husbandry. The farm is home to various animals including chickens, goats, sheep, and more. There's even a small market Bruno created, to help other local vendors reach their greater community, inspired by the ‘buy local' mantra. You'll also experience a host of seasonal activities, offered exclusively to National Geographic travelers. Harvest ripe fruits and learn the proper techniques for sowing seeds in a planting workshop. This hands-on learning environment brings Bruno's sustainability and bio-friendly philosophy to life. Afterwards, you'll relax and enjoy refreshing tea brewed from the farm's own herbs, as well as homemade cakes, toast, and jams preserved from local fruits.
