The adventure awaits
Do you have a teenager at home who is bored with classic sightseeing on family trips and has sore eyes from staring at their phone screen? Imagine a place where your teen will voluntarily put their phone away and excitedly stand on black sand, with cliffs shrouded in mist looming overhead like in Jurassic Park. A place where they can ride waves instead of scrolling through Facebook, or catch epic sunsets on a trek high above clouds that look like a soft blanket they’ll want to reach out and touch. Madeira isn't just an ordinary island; every corner of it looks like something out of a fantasy movie, and their stories will soon be filled with footage that every social media follower will envy. Give your family a fresh start together and head out for experiences they'll be talking about for years to come—and don't forget, they'll make so many more memories here!

Your itinerary - Easy to personalizeincluded
Day 1
After landing at one of the world's most interesting airports, pick up your rental car and head straight to refresh your tired crew. You'll head to the stunning Miradouro do Guindaste viewpoint near Praia do Faial. Walk along the glass walkways jutting out from the cliff above the roaring ocean, and then head to your accommodation in Santa Cruz to recharge for a serious ride tomorrow. Everything depends on your arrival time, so feel free to adjust the program to your liking.
Note: Reservations are required before entering the levadas, and there has been an entrance fee since 2024.
Day 2
After sunrise, we'll head to Praia De Machico beach, which has one unique feature: there are tons of lizards running around. Just sit on the promenade for a bit and the teens will be entertained, as the lizards will stand on their hind legs for pieces of fruit. The beach is pebbly, and there are showers and public restrooms. For drivers, there is also convenient parking right by the beach. After relaxing, you'll head to the statue of Christ at Garajau cape. The statue, dating from 1927, overlooks the open ocean from a height of 180 meters. Get ready for a few stairs, but the view is awesome. The highlight of the day will be the drive southwest to my favorite levada - Levada Do Moinho. It starts on the outskirts of the town of Ponta do Sol. You can have a picnic near the church in the Lombada area, and it's also a great place to park.
Day 3
You'll set off on a hike up the third-highest mountain at 1818m, offering iconic views of jagged mountain peaks rising above the clouds; you can drive there along a winding asphalt road all the way to the NATO radar station. From there, you'll head to one of the most popular viewpoints on Madeira called Balcoes. Right at the start of the trail, you'll explore the Ribeiro Frio trout farm. An interesting feature of this place is that due to its mountain location, it's often shrouded in mysterious fog and rain. In the afternoon, you'll swap the silence of the mountains for pure adrenaline in Funchal. The brave can take a downhill ride from Monte on wicker toboggans right on the asphalt. It whooshes along unexpectedly fast, and teenagers will be thrilled by how the guys in straw hats drift through the turns. To finish the day in style and away from the crowds, stretch your legs along the peaceful levada - Levada dos Tornos.
