Great crew & catamaran

A lovely modern catamaran with an excellent crew. The team are constantly watching for dolphins and whales and steer the catamaran quietly to their location so not to disturb them. Some dolphins & whales came very close to the ship. The staff are excellent and the owner is lovely.

Around The Island - Two Days Tour From 9am To 5pm (Each Day)

Lauren_N, Jul 2026

Stunning views and friendly guides

This was a brilliant introduction to the landscapes, culture, and history of Madeira. Our guide João was fantastic and made sure everyone in the group felt included. If you only have time to do one tour I would recommend the east side of the island as the views from some of the stops are absolutely breathtaking but do both days if you can!

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

Ian_N, Jul 2026

Half Day Island Tour

This was one of the highlights of our trip to Madeira! The half-day private island tour was the perfect way to experience so many of the island’s breathtaking viewpoints and beautiful landscapes without feeling rushed. Having a private tour made all the difference. We were able to explore at our own pace, spend extra time at the places we loved most, and enjoy a relaxed, stress-free day without being tied to a large group or strict schedule. Our guide, Luis, was fantastic. He was incredibly friendly, fun to talk to, and had an impressive knowledge of Madeira’s history, culture, and natural beauty. Every stop came with interesting stories and insights that made us appreciate the island even more. If you’re visiting Madeira and want an easy, enjoyable way to see the island while learning about its history and culture, I can’t recommend this tour enough. The scenery is spectacular, the experience is completely stress-free, and Luis made the day even more memorable. We would absolutely recommend this tour to anyone visiting Madeira!

Madeira Dolphin & Whale Watching Tour

Jerzy_S, Jul 2026

Really good experience !!

Really good experience!! The boat crew were punctual, friendly, knowledgable and safety concious. We saw lots of Atlantic dolphins and Pilot whales very close to the boat. Nice route along the coast on the return trip and really enjoyed the surprise at the end !! Great value for money and the speedboat was better than the catamarans.

Madeira "Mystery Tour" - Full Day Private 4x4 Jeep

Jay_J, Jul 2026

Amazing! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Amazing experience! Paulo was great and catered the day to our needs. He was informative, fun and we had the best day! Sometimes tours can be long but this one flew by and we were sad when it was time to return to our hotel. Highly recommend this company because it's tailored to your own wishes vs one of the larger companies where you get shuffled around with a scheduled itinerary from place to place with little flexibility. We will use them again on our return to Madeira to explore more.

We had an amazing time on...

We had an amazing time on the open-top Jeep tour around Madeira! It was a brilliant mix of fun, adventure, and breathtaking scenery. The views throughout the trip were incredible, and there was plenty of time at each stop to take everything in without feeling rushed. Our driver was fantastic—an excellent driver who made the off-road sections smooth, exciting, and really enjoyable. He was also funny, entertaining, and incredibly knowledgeable about the island, sharing lots of interesting information about the places we visited. The lunch stop was also very good. Overall, this was one of the highlights of our trip to Madeira, and we would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a memorable way to explore the island!

Taste Funchal: food, wine & cultural tour

Kirsty_G, Jun 2026

Fab walking tour of Funchal

We did the walking tour half way through our trip and had a fabulous time. We stopped for traditional wine tasting, lunch as well as trying other culinary delights including pastel de natas and a chorizo bola - you are definitely well fed and watered so don't eat too much beforehand! The walking was easy for us able bodied members of the party, however, one of our party had difficulty due to the sloping nature of the area and cobbled streets so I would be aware of this when you book. He did not go ahead with the tour however the staff were extremely accommodating and very kindly issued a refund. Our tour guide was fabulous and whilst informative was also really fun, she made the trip. Many thanks we had a great time!

Whale and Dolphin Watching Tour in Madeira

Sofia_P, Apr 2026

A amazing morning trip!

We had the most incredible trip with Luca & Manny onboard! Luca was extremely knowledgeable about the wildlife of Madeira & Manny was a fantastic supporting host & camera man! We were lucky enough to follow a group of Fin Whales and we saw several blows. We also saw a dolphin, seal & jellyfish. We also stopped for a swim which was delightful. The boat was perfect for the small group of passengers and it was a very intimate trip. We thoroughly enjoyed and would highly recommend!! Thank you :)
