Enchanted Terraces Off-Roading Half-Day Trip
Half-Day Trip Details
At the designated time, we'll pick you up at the meeting point you select and from there, we'll start our panoramic trip toward the Serra d'Água, a breathtaking steep valley flanked by impressive mountains where you can enjoy the contrasting views of the peaks and the immense plateau that characterizes the island.
We continue our journey to the first terrace – Encumeada. There will head deep into the immense laurisilva forest and enjoy the ocean views from high up. You'll feel the rush of adrenaline as we follow the ancient forest tracks, before arriving at Ginjas, our next stop.
Long trails will guide us through the tropical jungle and the sound of the birds, which becomes very striking in Paul da Serra, will make you feel far removed from the hustle and bustle of your everyday life.
In Fanal, we'll continue enjoying the ethereal dance of the waterfalls just before they merge into the sea. In Porto Moniz, we'll see the lava remains that have created the most beautiful pools in the world. As long as the weather conditions, sea conditions, and opening times allow and are safe, you'll have the opportunity to take a revitalizing dip in its waters.
After a full day, we'll begin the return journey in the off-road vehicle and drop you off at the same pickup points.
