Top Madeira Half-day Tours - page 3

For the most part a difficult hike but very rewarding. Ben prepared us well, and stopped regularly to allow us breaks at appropriate stops. Once you arrive at the stairway to heaven, we were able to return at our own pace. Overall, would highly recommend as an experience!

Excellent experience - if you just want a pick up to take you to PR1/PR3 then this is for you. Our driver picked us up with plenty of time to get to Pico do Arieiro. We arrived at dark so we could see the whole sunrise. We were given about 3 hours to watch the sunrise and complete PR1. The whole experience was smooth. We would definitely recommend.

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.

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!

I would highly recommend this trip. Our guide George, was incredibly kind, friendly and thoughtful - he even provided each of us with a blanket to keep us warm in the cold mountain air. He made sure we knew exactly where to go for the best sunrise views, which were breathtaking. A small tip for future travellers: if you prefer not to use your phone for light, be sure to bring a torch for the walk to the viewing site.

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.

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.

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.
