Porto Moniz: The 15 Best Tours & Day Trips

15 reviewed

The volcanic rock pools at Porto Moniz fill with Atlantic water at every tide, and the drive there along the old north coast road is half the reason to go. Below are the trips that include a proper stop rather than a photo pause, most of them pairing it with Fanal or Seixal, with swimming time, lunch arrangements and prices.

“What an experience! I cannot thank Abílio enough for his knowledge and calm nature. Starts with a tour of the aquarium and all the species of fish and crustaceans. Also, how the water is filtered and they keep the animals happy behind the scenes. We had experience diving before, so went in the tank straight away but you can get a feel for the equipment and find your balance in the natural pools before the tank if necessary. Abílio's english was perfect and explained everything really well. Such a special birthday present. Highly recommend to anyone visiting Madeira!”

“Having a local guide, Antonio, with a lot of knowledge about the island made this experience authentic. Careful and capeable driving. We very much enjoyed the off road section and how Antonio took his time explaining things and allowing us time to explore the various places visited and providing recommendations. This trip was very good value for money as you get a more one to one guide than you would on a mini bus tour.”
