Experience a full day of exploring the stunning landscapes of the Island of Madeira on this full-day jeep tour around its Fanal Forest and Volcanic Pools!

Embark on a magical jeep tour around the Fanal Forest, volcanic pools, and other incredible sites around western Madeira, and spend a day learning about the culture, history, and natural wonders of this Portuguese island!

Your jeep tour around the Fanal Forest and volcanic pools of Madeira will start as you are picked up from your accommodation or meet your instructor at a set meeting point. It's important to keep in mind that if you are staying in central Funchal or Caniço de Baixo, the pick-up service will be included in the price of your adventure, but if you are located outside of these 2 spots, you'll need to pay a small extra fee to be picked up or arrive at a set meeting point. Once you are safely sitting in the jeep that will take you around the beautiful Madeira, your expert instructor will explain the route for the day.

Then, you'll set off! Your jeep tour around the Fanal Forest and volcanic pools of Madeira will start as you head to Paul da Serra, a vast plateau known for its stunning panoramic views and untouched wilderness. Then, you'll head to the UNESCO World Heritage site of Madeira's Fanal Forest, where you'll walk around observing the ancient laurissilva trees and their misty forest seemingly taken out of a fairy tale. And just next to this wonderful landscape, you'll find Puerto Moniz's volcanic pools! These are natural pools formed by old volcanic rock formations filled with crystal-clear ocean water where you'll get to swim and enjoy a moment of relaxation.

This 8-hour jeep tour around the Fanal Forest and volcanic pools of Madeira will come to an end as you head towards the charming village of Seixal, known for its black sandy beach and stunning Veu da Noiva Waterfall. All throughout the tour you'll see several natural wonders and your expert guide will explain facts about the history, culture, and natural landscapes of this incredible island.

With all this in mind, don't hesitate to book your jeep tour around the Fanal Forest and volcanic pools of Madeira and spend a wonderful day exploring the wonders of the island! You won't regret it.
