Porto Moniz Natural Swimming Pools
Porto Moniz is one of the highlights of the West Tour and the reason why most of our visitors book this tour. The natural pools covered by volcanic lava make this town truly something out of the ordinary. Beautiful and attractive are the words that describe this magnificent location. At this stop, we have time to swim in the natural pools and have time to eat something. P.S. Please note: the entrance fee to the pools is not included; it costs 3 euros per person. Pools are paid because there are other pools that are free. It is an option to choose from. Be careful not to leave wet towels or bathing suits on the van's upholstery, as this will damage it.

Ribeira da Janela
Ribeira da Janela is one of the biggest attractions on the north coast of Madeira Island. Its imposing rock formation emerging from the bottom of the Atlantic Ocean is something never before seen. It looks like a National Geographic film. One of the first shots of the 2023 Star Wars movie, filmed on Madeira Island, was shot right here. In the same location, we can see a new tourist attraction: a zip line.
20 minutes here
Posto Florestal Fanal
Fanal Forest, what words are needed? It's a forest straight out of a movie scene. When Nature presents us with fog, this is the highlight of the West Tour. The centuries-old trees that date back to the discovery and colonization of Madeira Island. These are living trees; the photos taken don't express their beauty and magic. It's a unique and rare place on Madeira Island that should be visited and contemplated without destroying or polluting. P.S. It was here in this forest that the 2023 Star Wars film was shot.

Great tour and value for money..
This was a Great Value for Money tour. Dino was very talkative and extremely enthusiastic about this beautiful island of Madeira. Would defo book this tour operator again. Great value and saw extra sights along the way, was great that the tour lasted a little longer than planned just for a few life changing mountain top views. Was even better with only four people in the tour..
Response from the operator: Hello. Thank you very much for your excellent comment... I hope to see you again someday... With best regards, Dinarte Sousa, CEO.

Great day out with an expert tour guide showcasing next level local knowledge
Booked this trip before arriving in Madeira. Almost cancelled to change to one which picked up at our hotel - so glad we didn't! Our guide, Dino, was very friendly and showed a clear passion for the island and what it has to offer. He shared much local knowledge which if never heard previously, despite having visited the island a few times previously. He kindly walked us to the market and explained the local produce to us and even got us some free tasters! The trip itself had a perfect balance of exploration and relaxation, showcasing the very best of the west side. It was, as promised , a small group - only 5 people - which made it much more special. Would definitely recommend this trip! Dino - Top man!!
Response from the operator: Hi Mister Christopher... Tank you so much for your Excelent Review and Recomendation from the ours Top Men Dino the Best Guide ... We hope to see you and your Family one day wen you visited us again.... No more subject The Best Regards Dinarte Sousa CEO.

Excellent Experience!
I am so pleased that I booked this trip. We saw so many beautiful views and had such amazing experiences. This company is brilliant and very good communication regarding pick up times and place. The tour guide Dino was amazing and added to the experience. His friendliness, courtesy, knowledge and sense of humour was brilliant. The value for money was excellent. Watching Dino navigate the very steep and winding roads made me glad I didn't hire a car! Thanks you so much Dino, we had a great time and made many special memories
Response from the operator: Hi Miss Angela... A Big Tank you so much for your words and your Excelent Review.. Dino is Amazing Person and a Excelent Guide Tour...Safety first wit us drive in Madeira Island is not easy is Adventure... We hope to see you again....

Both the tour tour and guide were excellent
Both the tour tour and guide (Dino) were excellent and exactly what we were looking for. It allowed us to explore a large part of the island within a single day, and yet never felt rushed. I particularly liked the Fanal Forrest.
Response from the operator: Hi Mister John... Tank you so much for your Excelent Review and Recomendation from Dino your Friendly Guide Tour.. We hope to see you again.. No more subject The Best Regards Dinarte Sousa CEO.

Why this scores 89
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
West Tour-Fanal Forest & Porto Moniz Natural Pools Small Groups: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Funchal.
How much does West Tour-Fanal Forest & Porto Moniz Natural Pools Small Groups cost?
+
Prices start at $42 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Funchal usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does West Tour-Fanal Forest & Porto Moniz Natural Pools Small Groups take?
+
Plan for about 7 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Funchal is not rushed.
Is West Tour-Fanal Forest & Porto Moniz Natural Pools Small Groups worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 89 out of 100, which we label "Exceptional". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 375 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable most popular in Funchal, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule West Tour-Fanal Forest & Porto Moniz Natural Pools Small Groups?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is West Tour-Fanal Forest & Porto Moniz Natural Pools Small Groups suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 7-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book West Tour-Fanal Forest & Porto Moniz Natural Pools Small Groups?
+
Around 131 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Funchal can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Funchal and add a light layer if any part of the 7-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does West Tour-Fanal Forest & Porto Moniz Natural Pools Small Groups start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Funchal within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Funchal?
+
On Outty we rank every Funchal experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Jeep Tour Amazing West to Natural Pools -Full-Day, Porto Moniz, Seixal, Fanal Forest, Cliff Skywalk in Open Roof 4X4, Full Day Jeep Safari East - Pico do Areeiro - Santana - Ponta de são Lourenço. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Funchal?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Funchal?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
