Fabulous tour of the East Coast
Our tour of the East Coast was amazing on 27th June. Unfortunately we didn't manage to get views of Pica da Adaga because of the low cloud but our tour guide Deano made up for missing this by taking us to extra view points. Deano was very knowledgeable and about the island and a fantastic guide. There was only four of us on the tour and he made sure everyone enjoyed it. The traditional houses at Santanna were lovely and Manuel welcomed us into his home, gave us a coffee liqueur and took a photo of us outside his house, which was fantastic. Would definitely recommend this tour. Thank you, Marion & Ian

Well worth booking
Great experience, there were about 38 on the boat but everyone had their own space. The crew did their best to actively seek out wildlife, we saw 2 types of dolphin (2 up really close) and a turtle until it dived. Good drinks selection with coffee available after lunch and food was really tasty. We stopped for a sea swim for 20 - 30 mins before lunch ... overall an exceelent day

Perfect food tour
:We had a fantastic time on our walking food tour. We received clear instructions that morning, including links to each restaurant and easy-to-follow directions. We did take a few wrong turns along the way, but that only added to the fun and adventure!
Every venue we visited served delicious food, and each stop offered something different. The highlight for us was enjoying the most amazing cheese paired with a superb vinho tinto at 11am in Queijaria da Avó.
A special mention must go to Denis, our host there, who was incredibly welcoming, knowledgeable, and passionate about the food and wine. He really made the experience memorable.
Overall, a wonderful way to explore the local food scene, and we would highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Madeira. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Excellent trip
Excellent trip. Gabriel our guide was brilliant. Kept up well informed and brought us to some excellent viewing spots and we also stopped in a bar ip in the hills for a local poncha which was the best we had on our entire trip. We had such a good laugh on the trip.
Really a good three hours spent.

Funchal food and drink tour
This was a truly engaging and interesting tour. Our guide Pedro was passionate and informative from the very start and really took the time to explain the history, the culture and the traditions of food and drink in Madeira. We were also blessed with the weather which made tasting and eating outside even more memorable. Finding local corners and restaurants tucked away in the backstreets of Funchal offering traditional specialities was a delight and I went back to many of them during the week to savour the delights. Having never done a tour before, I was really pleased and enjoyed every minute. The group of tourists on the tour was also friendly and lovely. Thank you Pedro, you are an asset to the tourism of Madeira. I would highly recommend.

Definitely book this tour!
We had an amazing time on this tour with Marco. We were able to customize our itinerary, and pick up time. Marco was able to make changes on the fly regarding the weather and safety. We very much enjoyed the tour and it was a great introduction to the west side of the island. We also felt very safe with Marco's driving. Many of the roads were narrow and parking wasn't always readily available. We felt this was a way better alternative. FYI it would probably be cheaper to book directly with the vendor.

Incredible Dolphin Watching Experience with H2O Madeira
I had an absolutely amazing experience dolphin watching with H2O Madeira! From start to finish, everything was incredible. Seeing Madeira’s coastline from the Atlantic Ocean is simply breathtaking — the views are remarkably beautiful and unforgettable.
I was beyond happy to see dolphins swimming so close to us, especially in January, which made the experience even more special. The weather was sunny and pleasant, making the trip perfect. Our tour guide was very knowledgeable and shared many interesting facts about the dolphin species around Madeira, which added so much value to the tour.
A special mention to our skipper, who made sure we had plenty of fun during the boat ride. The final drive back to the port was especially enjoyable and such a great way to end the experience 🫶🏼
I highly recommend H2O Madeira to anyone visiting the island — truly an unforgettable experience!

Wow factor with careful kind driver
Prompt pick up and safe careful driver to the summit. Josef was kind and careful with our 4 year old, offering her extra blankets in addition to the ones we brought and allowing us time to put in our car seat. He also provided her with some chocolate wafers which she devoured while waiting for the sunrise and a spare torch: so kind and patient.
We loved the sunrise but it’s cold so take hat coat and scarf and blankets if you have
We had a flask of coffee/tea to sip while you wait for the sun to come up. This is in January may not be needed in the summer.
We had a wonderful time thanks again

Wonderful trip to do
It’s very very cold ( eyeballs frozen cold) and windy in the mountains, wrap up warm, take good grip trainers/ shoes.
It’s magical, Mother Nature put on the best show, was truly breath taking. There are viewing points so you do not have to walk the stairway to heaven if you do not want, if mobility challenged etc. There is a small cafe, gift shop and toilets there.
Our driver was so lovely, happy, knowledgeable and spoke english, and picked up and drop off at hotel.

Mónica was our guide and...
Mónica was our guide and she made it special. Her knowledge, friendliness and passion for sharing what she loves about the island made it so memorable.
The tours and wines were great, but you can try them by just showing up. Having a local guide brings the experience to the next level. Well worth it.

Highly recommend this tour
After a mixup the boys picked us up near the port. Then off on a fabulous tour up the mountain in 4x4 range rovers. Magnificent views and sights all over. Few stops to try local delicacies like Poncha (lol) maderia wine (had to buy a bottle for medicinal purposes lol) sky walk or in my case sky run. The tour guides were brilliant. Highly recommend a fabulous half day out over this beautiful island.

10/10 views!!
The views from this hike were absolutely breathtaking! Bruno our guide was brilliant and explained thoroughly where we were going. We had such a fantastic day out, my camera roll was full by the end of it! We completed this in October 2025 and the weather was perfect, not too hot but no rain.
Wouldn't recommend if you don't have a head for heights or caves (although they're not too bad) And take torches and appropriate footwear.
