{"id":"ce953681-7352-4fed-a822-786aa9541bef","island_id":null,"name":"Porto Moniz, Fanal & Cabo Girão — Full Day 4x4","slug":"west-jeep-tour","description":"A full day across the west and north coast in an open-top 4x4, on tracks the tour buses can't reach. From Câmara de Lobos — the fishing village Churchill came to paint — you climb through Ponta do Sol's banana plantations and sugar cane, then off-road up to Paúl da Serra, the island's only plateau at 1,400m. Up top, the Fanal: ancient laurels standing in the fog, part of the UNESCO Laurissilva forest. The track drops down through endemic forest to Porto Moniz and its volcanic pools — lunch break here, and a swim if the sea lets you.\n\nOn the way back, Seixal: dark-sand beach with lava pools below the vineyards, mountain and ocean in the same frame. We follow the coast with photo stops at the waterfalls falling straight off the cliffs — Véu da Noiva, the Bride's Veil, the one everyone remembers. The route shifts when the weather closes in up on Paúl da Serra, and that's a good sign — it means the guide knows the island and won't drive you into fog to tick a box. Bring a warm layer; the back of the jeep gets cold at altitude.","short_description":"Explore the west of Madeira on a 4x4 tour, visiting Cabo Girão Skywalk, Fanal Forest, Seixal and Porto Moniz.
