Excursions in Porto da Cruz

Hey there, adventure seekers and curious travelers! Are you ready to explore one of Madeira's best-kept secrets? Look no further than Porto da Cruz, a charming coastal village nestled in the northeast of this stunning Portuguese island. At Foxiepass, we're all about showing you the real Madeira, and boy, do we have some treats in store for you!

Why Porto da Cruz?

Picture this: dramatic cliffs, lush green mountains, and the endless blue of the Atlantic Ocean. That's Porto da Cruz in a nutshell. But trust me, there's so much more to discover. Let's dive into some of the must-see spots you'll get to experience on our guided tours:

• Engenho do Norte: Ever wondered how that delicious Madeira rum is made? Well, wonder no more! This old sugar cane factory is still in operation, and the smell of molasses in the air is enough to make your mouth water. We'll take you on a journey through time, showing you the traditional methods still used today. And yes, there might be a cheeky tasting involved. Cheers!
• Penha d'Águia: Calling all hiking enthusiasts! This iconic eagle-shaped rock formation is not just a pretty face. The views from up here? Absolutely breathtaking. On a clear day, you can see all the way to Porto Santo island. Don't worry if you're not a seasoned hiker – our guides know all the best spots for those Instagram-worthy shots without breaking a sweat.
• Praia da Alagoa: Beach bums, rejoice! This black sand beach is a little slice of paradise. Whether you want to catch some rays, take a dip in the crystal-clear waters, or try your hand at surfing (the waves here are pretty sweet), we've got you covered. And let's not forget the beachside bars – nothing beats a cold drink with your toes in the sand, right?
• Miradouro da Portela: Okay, I'm going to let you in on a local secret. This viewpoint is hands down one of the best spots to watch the sunset on the whole island. As the sky turns shades of pink and orange, you'll see why we locals never get tired of this view. It's the perfect spot for a romantic moment or just some quiet contemplation.

But Wait, There's More!

At Foxiepass, we believe in going beyond the typical tourist traps. That's why our tours also include:

• Local Eats: Ever tried 'espetada' or 'bolo do caco'? These local delicacies will have your taste buds doing a happy dance. We'll show you the best spots to grab a bite, from hidden local taverns to seaside restaurants with views to die for.
• Meet the Locals: The heart of any place is its people. Our tours give you the chance to chat with friendly locals, learn about their way of life, and maybe even pick up a few words of Portuguese. Who knows, you might make a friend for life!
• Off-the-Beaten-Path Adventures: Fancy a dip in a natural swimming pool? Or how about exploring some lesser-known hiking trails? We've got plenty of surprises up our sleeves for those looking to venture off the tourist trail.
