What better way to get to know the stunning beauty of Madeira than with a land and sea tour? Ride a 4x4, then a catamaran boat around different places in Madeira, see dolphins, and even try traditional Madeiran wine on this amazing adventure!

Your dolphin-watching and 4x4 tour around Madeira will start in Funchal, and from there you will be driven to Boca dos Namorados, a peak with an altitude of 1000 meters to observe the famous Nuns Valley, a historical hiding place from pirates in the past, and the Eira do Serrado viewpoint.

Afterward, you will be able to enjoy an off-road experience, surrounded by the stunning nature of Madeira and pas through Jardim da Serra, a picturesque location surrounded by cherry fields and wonderful views.

After enjoying these amazing spots, you will continue your 4x4 tour around Madeira and be taken to the second-highest cliff in the World (589mts): Cabo Girão. This place is also known as the "Skywalk" since there is a glass floor platform from which you'll be able to observe a panoramic view of the Atlantic Ocean, Funchal, its bay, and your next stop, Câmara de Lobos.

As you arrive at this beautiful fishing village, Câmara de Lobos will show you Madeira's most traditional side. There, you'll have one hour and a half to yourself, during which you can explore the village and have lunch before the next section of your 4x4 and dolphin-watching tour around Madeira.

Once your break is over, you'll head to Funchal's Harbor, where you will board a Catamaran for your dolphin-watching tour around Madeira. This will be a 3-hour relaxing trip along the south coast, during which you will have strong possibilities of watching diverse marine animals, such as whales and dolphins. And during the summer, you have the amazing possibility of swimming below Cabo Girao Cliff!

This dolphin-watching boat tour and 4x4 adventure around Madeira will last 7 hours in total, 4 hours on the 4x4, and 3 in the Dolphin-watching catamaran. However, you should plan out your whole day to participate, since the activity starts at 9h, you'll have a break at 13h30, and the whole thing will end at 18h. You should also keep in mind that your guides at True Spirit Madeira offer you free pick-up in the morning if you are located in Funchal or its harbor and that if you decide to take this option, you'll be picked up between 8h30 and 9h. However, there will not be a drop-off service, so you will have to find your own way back to your accommodation.
