We drove on Madeira Island over two days, once we picked up the car we drove up and up and up to get to the 25 waterfalls hike. The hike wasn’t worth it in our opinion, I’m sure there are better ones. Then to Porto Moniz and Sexial Beach. There was lots of fog, but nothing to do about that. The waterfall by Sexial Beach was cool regardless of the lack of sun. The car we rented was a bit too weak for the hills in my opinion (was a bit nervous sometimes) but it was nice having a small car. VE4 is easily the best way to get across the island. I can recommend Cavacas natural pools closer to Funchal in place of Porto Moniz natural pools (smaller, but closer to Funchal). Pico Ruvio at dawn is SO worth it (wear a headlamp around your neck when hiking before sunrise) HIGHLY recommend “Madeira Top Sunrise” hike with Carlos (book via Viator). 150% worth the early start and the insane amount of steps.

Beautiful island but not for the faint of heart for driving. Roads are steep, narrow and parking is difficult if not impossible in some places.

Exploring Madeira by car is definitely the way to go. Beautiful drives on the winding roads in the mountain. The views are amazing and this is by far the best way to access all the beautiful hiking trails Madeira has to offer.

Madeira is an astonishingly beautiful island, offering a feast for the eyes, taste buds, and all other senses. It certainly merits a visit, and having a car allows you to explore the island on your schedule and your terms. Unfortunately, swimming in the midst of winter is not an option, but then again - there are tourist crowds and most tourist sites are yours to explore in relative piece and quiet.
