Ready to discover a different side of Madeira?
Forget the crowded tourist routes. Our Offbeat Madeira Tour takes you through hidden villages, dramatic viewpoints, lush valleys and curious little places that most visitors simply drive past.
São Cristóvão Viewpoint: where the day begins
Take a deep breath and look out over one of Madeira's most beautiful coastal landscapes. Green mountains, dramatic cliffs and the deep blue Atlantic come together in a view that feels almost unreal.
Camera ready — this is one of those places where you'll want to take more than one photo.
And the best part? It is still far away from the crowds.
Ponta Delgada: hidden beauty
We continue to Ponta Delgada, one of those charming northern villages that is so easy to overlook — and that's exactly what makes it special.
Nestled between lush green mountains and the Atlantic Ocean, this peaceful corner of Madeira gives you a glimpse of the island at its most authentic.
Slow down, explore the village and discover the kind of Madeira that doesn't need a tourist sign to be beautiful.
São Vicente: the north's hidden perspective ⛪
We'll climb a few steps to the famous church white bell tower, where an incredible perspective opens up over the village and surrounding landscape.
From up here, you'll see São Vicente from a completely different angle — surrounded by steep green mountains and the rugged beauty that makes northern Madeira so unique.
Definitely one for your camera roll.
Serra de Água: Madeira in its wildest form ️
Leaving the north behind, we head into the middle of the island.
Serra de Água sits deep inside a spectacular valley, surrounded by towering mountains and dramatic green slopes.
There are no big crowds here. Just winding roads, mountain air and the raw beauty of Madeira.
This is the kind of landscape that makes you stop and simply look around.
Ribeira Brava: lunch, sunshine & a swim ☀️
We stop in Ribeira Brava, where the dramatic mountains meet the Atlantic Ocean. You'll have some free time to enjoy the village, grab a relaxed local lunch and, if you feel like it, take a refreshing swim in the Atlantic.
Espigão: the “end of the world”
Welcome to Espigão — Madeira's “end of the world.”
Standing high above the valley, you'll be surrounded by enormous mountain walls and endless green landscapes stretching into the distance.
Madeira's Sagrada Família ✨
And just when you think you've seen everything Madeira has to offer, we take you somewhere completely unexpected.
Hidden in the mountains is a tiny chapel known as Madeira's Sagrada Família.
this unusual little chapel was designed and built by Mr. Macedo for his neighbours over 15 years.
A curious, personal and fascinating piece of Madeira that you would probably never find on your own.
Back to Funchal: new memories, new friends ❤️
After a day exploring Madeira's hidden corners, you'll return to Funchal with a camera full of photos, stories to tell and hopefully a few new friends.
