The tour then continues to Cabo Girao, where a glass platform stands 580 meters above the sea, offering coastal views; visitors spend around twenty minutes here. Next is Ribeira Brava Beach, a coastal town with a small river running through it, featuring cafes, shops, and a market along the seafront; the stop lasts approximately thirty minutes. The tour proceeds north to Sao Vicente, a small coastal municipality surrounded by forested valleys, known for its notable church; the visit here lasts about one hour. Following this, the route takes the scenic coastal roads through Seixal, with a brief stop of about ten minutes to view possible roadside waterfalls. The final main stop is Porto Moniz Natural Swimming Pools, volcanic rock pools by the sea, where guests have about one hour to swim or relax at nearby cafes. Swimwear is recommended for swimming.
