What to expect
Taste Madeira beyond the postcards on a half-day tour that blends coastal scenery, local food, and one of the island’s most iconic crops: the Madeira banana.
Start on the island’s sunny south coast in Ponta do Sol, a laid-back seaside village known for its mild climate and waterfront charm. Sit down for a leisurely brunch at The Old Pharmacy, a lovingly restored spot filled with character, then enjoy free time to stroll by the sea and take in the village atmosphere.
Next, travel to Madalena do Mar, one of Madeira’s key banana-growing areas. At the Banana Museum, join a guided visit through the museum and plantation to learn how the Madeira banana became an emblem of the island’s agriculture and daily life. Finish the visit with a tasting of locally grown banana and a sample of traditional banana liqueur.
On the return journey toward Funchal, pause for a final photo stop at Miradouro do Lombo do Facho, where wide views open over Câmara de Lobos, Funchal, and Madeira’s dramatic south coast. With a mix of flavors, stories, and scenery, this tour is an easy, rewarding way to experience Madeira in just a few hours.
