Madeira Lido Tours

Cabo Girão

Best Prices Guaranteed!

Leaving Funchal at 9am we pass along the famous Lido then head west to fishing village Camara de Lobos (place of the monkseals). The road climbs through banana plantations as we approach Cabo Girão, Europe’s highest cliff, where we stop for the fantastic viewpoint. Heading back down to sea-level we pause for coffee and a little sight-seeing in Ribeira Brava; don’t miss the church!

Prepare for some stunning vistas of Madeira’s south coast and mountains as we climb north though Canhas to the high pass of Paúl da Serra. Heading north still we go via Fanal down to Ribeira da Janela and the rugged beauty of the north coast, where Atlantic rollers describe a line of white surf below heroic cliffs. A break for lunch is taken in pretty Porto Moniz where you may choose from many restaurants, snack-bars and cafés.

After lunch we traverse Madeira’s highest plateau with all its spectacular panoramas before heading to the sunny south coast and Calheta Beach with it’s golden sand where we relax a while before setting off for home again…….

North Of Madeira Island - Seixal

There are many people offering Madeira Island Excursions. We believe Strawberry World (Lido Tours) offer the best, so just what makes us different from the rest?

Firstly, we are an authorised operator with our own buses; we are NOT just a ticket seller contracting our tours to the lowest bidder like so many so-called tour companies. When you travel on a Strawberry World coach, the Driver and Guide are professionals employed by us, so you can be sure that they will give you the best service possible. Our staff are dedicated to our ethos of service; those that fall short do not work for us for long.
