Madeira Sunset at Pico do Arieiro and PR1 Stairway To Heaven

Mark_R, Jun 2026

From start to finish,...

From start to finish, this tour was so much fun and one of the highlights of our holiday! Our tour guide, Davide, was absolutely amazing. He was so friendly, welcoming, and made everyone feel comfortable straight away. If you’re nervous about hikes or scared of heights like I am, I’d still recommend booking this tour. You don’t have to do the full hike if you don’t want to. I stayed at the viewpoint while my friend carried on, and we met back there in time to watch the sunset together. I still felt like I’d had the most incredible experience, and the views were absolutely breathtaking. The sunset was unforgettable, and the whole trip was really well organised. I’d highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Madeira!

CFirman1, Jun 2026

Great trip out

A lovely trip out: managed to see some spotted dolphins and a turtle, and have a swim in the ocean. The ship took us to the east side of the island before turning round and heading to the west side! The guys on board were very knowledgeable and knew their stuff. I would highly recommend this trip, and appreciate the beauty that lives in the oceans

Very good experience , is...

Very good experience , is definitely worth it!. Mauricio is a fantastic tour guide and his driving skills are 10/10 literally felt like a little rollercoaster at times due to the curvy roads in Madeira. You get to see all the island with some amazing sights, Mauricio was very informative throughout the tour and drove us to multiple free locations where theres no charge and still had the same views ! Personally I loved this ! We did make a quick stop towards the end of the tour for some Poncha 😅 which was a great end to the tour . I would definitely recommend!

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.

Great open top jeep tour

We had a great time on this open top jeep tour. Our driver was great fun and took us to some stunning viewpoints. We also stopped off for a traditional Madeiran lunch as well as some rum tasting. One of the highlights was the off road driving and walking to the Balcoes viewpoint.

PR1 Sunrise Pico do Arieiro Self-Guided Hiking Transfer

Marina_G, Apr 2026

Convenient and well organised

Pick up was on time and communication ahead was very good and detailed. The tour arrived in time for sunrise and we were lucky to have a great day for it. Pedro gave a good overview of the hikes involved. He left no question unanswered. My only criticism is that I would have wanted to have been there a bit earlier because by the time he had finished the briefing there wasn't that much time to find a good place for taking photographs (it might be fine for people taking photos with a phone but with a camera you need a bit of time to find the best location and set everything up. Additionally and that's nothing to do with the tour company but I think it should be in the information upfront to manage expectations: the toilets up there are only open from 9am onwards and basically to find a quiet spot when it is heaving with people is very tricky. The PR 1 hike itself was of course also busy but still worth it. The PR 3 hike was very quiet and beautiful.

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 :)

Louise_M, Nov 2025

Not for the faint hearted but we loved it

Madeira is advertised as a beautiful island of mountains, sea, valleys and levadas coupled with beautiful scenery. When researching how best to get a taste of all this we felt that tarmac roads and cushioned seats wouldn’t let us experience the true Madeira. Viator, through The Green Devils allowed us a true off road experience and we loved it. Thank you
