Volcanic Trail Hike & Coastal Cruise
Explore Madeira’s rawest peninsula on foot, then cruise past lava cliffs and grottoes for a sea-level finale.
Step into Madeira’s volcanic wild side on the São Lourenço Peninsula, where color, rock, and sea steal the show. Hike a rugged coastal trail through lava layers, basalt dykes, and cliff-edge viewpoints, with nonstop ocean panoramas. After reaching the far eastern cliffs, trade boots for a boat ride along dramatic rock arches and sea caves. A quick Poncha toast caps it all before heading back to Funchal.
