Madeira: Sunny South Side - Cable Car Rancho, Pta Sol, Jardim Mar

Discover Madeira’s hidden coastal gems on a relaxed adventure along the island’s sunny southwest coast. Start at Rancho Cable Car**, a hidden gem beneath Cabo Girão, where dramatic cliffs meet traditional farming terraces by the Atlantic.* Continue to Ribeira Brava for a local coffee and enjoy panoramic views from Miradouro São Sebastião. Explore the laid-back surfer village of Paul do Mar, then wander the charming, flower-lined streets of Jardim do Mar. At Calheta Marina, enjoy lunch by the sea or relax on the beach. Next, discover colourful Ponta do Sol, Madeira’s warmest spot, with time to explore and soak up its sunny atmosphere. Finally, finish with a traditional Poncha tasting at one of our favourite local bars in Quinta Grande before returning to Funchal. **Cable car ride subject to weather and maintenance.
