This exclusive private tour shines a light on eastern Madeira. You'll have your head in the clouds at Pico do Areeiro, walk among traditional houses in Santana, have lunch at Quinta do Furão and marvel at the landscape at Ponta de São Lourenço. Santiago, one of our expert local guides, says, ‘Ponta de São Lourenço is unlike the rest of the island because it has no trees. The wind keeps the vegetation low, so you get amazing views of this twisting peninsula. It is an important habitat for birds as well as dozens of endemic plant species.'

You'll be escorted up above the clouds to the lofty Pico do Areeiro viewpoint, offering wow-factor vistas at 1,818m above sea level. There's a visit to the local mountainside town of Santana, and a tasty lunch of local dishes overlooking the town's unique straw-thatched cottages. And if you feel the urge to linger, our private tour offers you the freedom to do so – you choose how long you spend at each stop.

Next, we'll take a look around a traditional sugar cane processing mill – an activity that has been a key part of Madeira's economy for centuries – in Porto da Cruz. Santiago says, ‘Much of Madeira's sugar cane is used to make the delicious local rum. Try the young white rum with smoked fish, or the aged varieties with chocolate.' Your last port of call will be Ponta de São Lourenço, a rugged peninsula which boasts one of Madeira's most unblemished landscapes. Your private tour gives you the freedom and flexibility to enjoy the day your way.

Nat Geo Day Tour: Sustainable Agriculture in Quinta Pedagógica da Camacha

Drive through Funchal's bustling town and Madeira's magnificent rolling hills towards Quinta Pedagogica da Camacha, a small farm committed to sustainable agriculture. Here, your National Geographic-trained guide will offer insights into the region and introduce you to the farm's owner, Bruno Santos. Having left accounting for agriculture, Bruno now dedicates his life to helping his neighborhood through sustainable farming, a lowered environmental footprint, and community outreach. Follow Bruno through flowering groves as you explore the grounds. You'll learn about the many uses for their freshly grown herbs and visit their strawberry plantation. Observe the fields and poios—what Madeirans call the terraced areas where they grow their crops—as you learn about the farm's produce and animal husbandry. The farm is home to various animals including chickens, goats, sheep, and more. There's even a small market Bruno created, to help other local vendors reach their greater community, inspired by the ‘buy local' mantra. You'll also experience a host of seasonal activities, offered exclusively to National Geographic travelers. Harvest ripe fruits and learn the proper techniques for sowing seeds in a planting workshop. This hands-on learning environment brings Bruno's sustainability and bio-friendly philosophy to life. Afterwards, you'll relax and enjoy refreshing tea brewed from the farm's own herbs, as well as homemade cakes, toast, and jams preserved from local fruits.
