Full-Day Madeira Wine Tasting Tour with Lunch

Important: The optional activities (Giant Swing & Zipline) must be booked in advance directly through Adrenaline Xtreme’s website. Please reserve your time slot between 11:20 AM and 1:30 PM to fit the tour schedule. The journey begins in the charming coastal village of Ponta do Sol, famous for its traditional atmosphere, banana plantations, and the sunniest climate on the island. From there, the Jeep climbs an old “royal path,” a historic mountain road once used before modern tunnels existed, revealing breathtaking panoramic views. On clear days, you may even rise above the clouds. The highlight of the tour is Madeira’s ultimate adrenaline zone, where you can choose between two thrilling activities (not included in the base price): the Zipline, flying across a deep valley at speeds of up to 110 km/h from 320 meters high, or the Giant Swing, suspended off a cliff with a 250-meter drop below.

What are people saying about Funchal

Paul_R, Sep 2026

Excellent tour!

We booked this excursion as we were on a cruise and this was our final port stop. Ricardo picked us up promptly from the cruise port and was waiting for us with a sign with our name on so easy to find. He had messaged the day before with full instructions on how to find him. We had discussed previously what we wanted to do and first on our list of priorities was the Tobbogan ride. It opened at 9 and we got there 15 mins before and were 4th in line. This gets super busy waits up to a few hours later in the day so we were glad to get this done first, probably a highlight of our trip such good fun! Next we went to a couple of lookouts one with a glass floor. Ricardo then suggests a smaller cable car for us to do which took us down to a small beach near a farm, this was much better than the main one. We ended the trip with some free time in a small fishing that Winston Churchill used to go to paint, we had free time to grab some food and explore the village also try the local drink poncho. Ricardo was so helpful and informative even lending us some money as we didn’t have enough cash on us before we found a cash point. He is extremely knowledgeable about his home and made our trip great fun and informative. I would highly recommend.

Madeira Sunset at Pico do Arieiro and PR1 Stairway To Heaven

Liz_B, Sep 2026

Great option for sunset views.

Good communication on booking and pick-up details. Pick up was exactly on time, and the group was only 7 people, which I appreciated. When the weather turned and we were unable to do the planned hike, rather than call it quits, Claudio took us below the rain clouds and to another sunset viewpoint. He managed to salvage the day by going above and beyond. Recommend this excursion for anyone who doesn't have a rental car or just doesn't feel up to navigating the mountain roads at night.

Exceptional

Fantastic experience. A challenging hike that really paid off. We were fortunate enough to have great conditions for the sunrise and our guide gave clear instructions so we knew exactly what to expect with target times for specific spots on the route.

Responsible Whales and/or Dolphins Watching Tour

Anne_F, Aug 2026

5 star trip!!

Such a well organised, fabulous trip. We arrived and were greeted by Hurst (our marine biologist) who gave us a briefing which was very informative. On the speedboat we were guided out of the marina by our excellent skipper, Francisco. Being out on the water was incredible and we saw some beautiful coastal views. We were so lucky to see a pod of female pilot whales. The boat approached calmly and respectfully which allowed us to see them close up which was a truly magical experience. We also came upon a pod of bottlenose dolphins soon after and observed them travelling and splashing their tails to communicate. Hurst was very attentive and gave us lots of information about the animals as well as being very open to questions. I was so glad we booked this smaller trip as we saw a larger boat with lots of passengers and the guide speaking through a tannoy which I personally would not have enjoyed. The journey back was fun as we sped towards the marina. I would advise you to arrive early as they want to make the most of your time on the water. If you want an informative, responsible trip these are the guys to go with!

Full Day Jeep Safari East - Pico do Areeiro - Santana - Ponta de são Lourenço

Julianna_C, Aug 2026

A great day! The tour was...

A great day! The tour was wonderful and having the roof off the top of the jeep was so fun! Be sure to book the levada walk when they message you so you have the QR code before it sells out. The walk is super easy, but so cool and the view is great! Even added in a secret location because we had a little extra time! Definitely recommend if you don’t have a car to check out these locations!

West Tour-Fanal Forest & Porto Moniz Natural Pools Small Groups

Graham_W, Aug 2026

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..

Full-Day Jeep Safari West: Fanal, Porto Moniz, Seixal, Cabo Girão

Steven_H, Jun 2026

Fantastic jeep safari

This trip was really good value. Saw so much of the west of the island. Stopped mid morning at a lovely rustic, isolated bar where the lady owner was a delight and her homemade original poncha was the best I’ve ever tasted!!!! The lunchtime stop in Porto Moniz was great, beautiful scenic location. You either eat or swim as the 1.1/2 hour stop is not really enough to do both, but I wouldn’t want more time there as there was so much more of the island to see. Highlight for me was the falal forest. It’s a long day and the jeep makes it tiring but I think it’s well worth it.

Private Madeira Island Tour: The Most Complete 8-Hour Experience

Linda_D, Jun 2026

Whole day tour was fantastic!

Truly an extraordinary way to see the whole island highlights in one day. Carefully curated so your ahead of the crowds, allowed time to wander, take photos along the way. Better than I imagined. Luis explained things along the way, never rushed or hovered. He is native to Madeira and it shows the passion he has for this beautiful island. Hands down the best way to see the island in one day.

Sunrise Guided Hike PR1 Pico do Areeiro Pico Ruivo small group

shannan_t, Jun 2026

Unforgettable Magically Delicious experience

From pickup to drop off everything was exceptional. Our driver was early and respectful. He even sent a detailed list of recommended restaurants for our stay. Our guide was knowledgeable and very professional. His experience allowed us to move along the hike without and delays and past the crowds in the beginning. The sunrise did not disappoint. Both the sunrise and the hike were simply magical and unforgettable. We see why this is considered Madeiras most famous hike. We would without a doubt recommend our guides and this experience.

Madeira 4x4 Jeep Safari : Porto Moniz, Lava Pools & Fanal Forest

The best way to see the West – amazing day with Miguel!

My girlfriend and I had an incredible tour of the western part of Madeira with Miguel. We were lucky enough to be the only guests, which turned the day into a fantastic private experience. Miguel is not just a knowledgeable guide but also a great person to talk to. We chatted about everything – from the island's history to general life topics – making the time between stops fly by. He was incredibly flexible, offering us alternative stops based on our interests and giving us plenty of time at every location without rushing. Plus, his insider tips for other activities on the island were super helpful. If you want a relaxed, personalized, and memorable tour, book with Miguel!
