What are people saying about Madeira

Porto Moniz, Seixal, Fanal Forest, Cliff Skywalk in Open Roof 4X4

Matthew_H, Nov 2026

Best tour on the island!

This was the best tour I did on the island! Sandro was a tour guide and he was great! Although we didn’t go on the Skywalk, we still saw the view from a short drive down the hill. Porto Moniz was the highlight and you have time to swim in the natural swimming pools.

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

Lorraine_A, Nov 2026

Excellent guides and beautiful scenery, despite the excessive rain and fog.

The first day our guide was Renato and the second day it was John. They were both very knowledgeable and did a great job working against the elements. We has a tremendous amount of rain in and out, which did put a hindrance on the stops. But, they did a fabulous job.

Madeira Sunset or Sunrise at Pico and PR1 Stairway To Heaven

Andrea_D, Nov 2026

Having this...

Having this transportation and being picked up and dropped off at my hotel was great! The weather was rainy and gloomy, but Pedro encouraged us to keep waiting until the end and the clouds moved right at sunset and it was the most spectacular view and moment! This is a safe and reliable transfer option!

Responsible Whales and/or Dolphins Watching Tour

Anita_L, Nov 2026

Fantastic boat safari - definitely recommended

Wow, wow, wow.. what an experience. Both Ricardo’s were excellent guides. We saw blue spotted and also striped dolphins (between 40 and 60 of them), and then later two separate families of Pilot whales. Ricardo was very knowledgeable and gave a lot of information of the dolphins and whales that we saw. Ricardo (the captain) was able to throw in a couple of surprises at the end of the tour 😂😂

Madeira Dolphin and Whale Watching on a Ecological Catamaran

Yordanka_T, Nov 2026

Great adventure!

Great experience from beginning to the end. We started the trip with spotting a monk seal in the harbour and then spending time watching a very close distance pilot whales pod for a while. The crew was very friendly and knowledgeable which made the experience even more interesting.

Private Half day tour around Madeira Island

Liz_G, Oct 2026

Our Tour Was MUCH BETTER Than Expected!

Our tour guide, Diogo was absolutely amazing, he was super patient when our ship’s this disembarkation process was taking a long time. Diogo gave us so much information about the island; he is a perfect ambassador for Madeira/Funchal. Diogo even made it a point to stop at a little produce stand to buy us a couple of locally grown bananas, which by the way were delicious! . He gave us plenty of time as we explored the different locations - more time than we even need it. We did not feel rushed at all, and he gave us his undivided attention. The air-conditioning in his vehicle worked perfect, and his van was spotless. We felt like he was a genuinely nice man with a positive look on life. Thank you Diogo!

Time Travel on Columbus Replica Flag Ship in Madeira

John_A, Oct 2026

Fun afternoon on the Santa Maria do Colombo!

This was our second trip on the Santa Maria do Colombo having enjoyed it so much the first time! The boat trip was lovely and relaxing along the coast from Funchal to Cabo Girão and once there we were given the opportunity to swim for half an hour or so. On the way back we were offered a glass of Madeira and a slice of bolo de Mel, which was a nice touch. A great afternoon was had by all and we’ll look forward to doing it again in the future!

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

Denise_W, Oct 2026

A local who knows

The standard itinerary included several places that we had already visited earlier in the week but Luis was happy to look at my list of desired stops and get us to each of them on a custom tour. We promptly emailed with me before I left for my trip, so we could iron out the details of our tour. He knows the island incredibly well, and also took us to his special places. He carefully maneuvered the challenging local roads, timing our arrival to avoid lines and crowds, for an absolutely terrific day. His recommendation for lunch was great and he even brought us to a small shop in his hometown for an afternoon mango gelato and smoothie. Go with a local who knows. Spend your day with Luis.

PR1 Sunrise Pico do Arieiro Self-Guided Hiking Transfer

Paula_L, Oct 2026

Book it! Long line of hikers waiting for taxis after hike.

Our driver was on time, professional and provided clear directions at dropoff for entrance to hike, and pointed out the area to watch sunrise prior to hike. He was on time for pick up, and provided history about the island on our return to Funchal. There was a line of people waiting for a taxi in parking lot after hike. Its worth it to guarantee a quick return trip after the 5.7 mile hike!

Taste Funchal: food, wine & cultural tour

John_L, Sep 2026

Great Morning in Funchal

From the start of the tour, you get a real insight into the tastes and culture of Funchal. Our friendly guide made the whole experience even more interesting and the food was amazing! Even if walking tours are not usually your thing, this is a gentle stroll with lots of stops and opportunities to take in the surroundings. I would highly recommend.

Seaborn Catamaran trips

lenamA7835DX, Aug 2026

Top experience

It was a great excursion. The crew is very dedicated and really knows their stuff about marine biology and was able to answer questions in detail. It was a bit difficult to find the whales. But in the end, we discovered a whale family and were able to observe them for about half an hour. In general, I can recommend the sunset tour, because even if you don't see any animals, the view is spectacular.
