New Years in Madeira 2024/2025

Half Day City Tour of Funchal and Gala Dinner

Today you will embark on a half day sightseeing tour of the city of Funchal. You will visit the Farmer’s Market where you will see an amazing array of locally grown fruits, vegetables and flowers. You continue the tour by visiting an embroidery factory followed by your final stop at the Madeira association. There you will have the opportunity to see how the wine is made and taste some of the best ones of the island.

Later we go toboggan riding in wicker baskets, through the streets of Funchal for a very fun time! Tonight will be, without doubt, an unforgettable dawn that welcomes the arrival of the New Year in the best possible way. In the the evening we meet for our New Year’s Eve Gala Dinner at our hotel, which includes a five-course meal, a varied selection of wines and spirits, live entertainment, favors and champagne at midnight followed by a splendid firework show in Funchal Harbor, considered one of the best in the world. Upon conclusion of the pyrotechnic show, we return to the Gala area for more buffet, drinks and dancing.

Full Day Porto Moniz Tour

Today’s full-day tour is to the Western part of the island of Madeira. We begin by taking the Estrada Monumental to Câmara De Lobos; we then cross the island in a south to north direction passing along the steep coastline until we arrive in Porto Moniz where lunch will be served. On our return to Funchal we will pass through São Roque do Faial, Ribeiro Frio, (to visit the trout fishery), Terreiro da Luta and onto the Monte before returning to our hotel in the early evening.

Leisure Day and Farewell Dinner

In the evening a Madeira style dinner of “Carne de Espeto” will be served accompanied by typical Madeira food and we will be entertained by a local folklore group.
