With a maximum of just 4 guests, you'll enjoy a more personal experience, hear the stories behind the places we visit, discover corners most visitors never find, and experience local traditions by tasting authentic poncha and Madeira wine.

What are people saying about Madeira

Jolanta_P, Oct 2026

East and West of Madeira

It's been a great couple of days, Roberto and Juan are shared their knowledgeable and experiences about living in Madeira. I've seen so many amazing places! Yes, weather was unpredictable in the mountains, but it was part of the adventure. Thoroughly recommend it!!

Madeira Sunset or Sunrise at Pico and PR1 Stairway To Heaven

Rehman_P, Oct 2026

Great Experience and Highly Recommend

We had a great experience on this tour! Our tour guide was super friendly, funny, and knowledgeable. He gave us clear directions and shared some really helpful tips before the hike. My wife had twisted her ankle, and he was incredibly thoughtful in explaining our alternatives in case we weren't able to complete the main hike. I also forgot to bring water, and thankfully, he had an extra bottle that he kindly gave me. We really appreciated how helpful and accommodating he was throughout the experience. Highly recommend this tour!

Eduardo, our guide, is a...

Eduardo, our guide, is a sweet angel. He is a Madeira native and was so amazing to listen to, and just good spirited. He drove off-roading in fog and rain and was calm, cool, collected through it all - keeping us safe! We immediately were so excited to meet him because sometimes tour guides can be kind of lame… but he was truly so great! And so patient. We truly can’t stop talking about Eduardo who holds the heart of Madeira! we can’t wait to come back and hopefully see him again and also get a tour of where he shops… he had amazing style!!! Eduardo forever!

Lovely half day trip for whale watching and swimming

Fab trip. Saw dolphins and whales. Lots of interesting facts. We had calm seas and Lovely views of Madeira. Plenty of room on the catamaran to move around to see. There was also time for swimming in the sea off of the catamaran so don’t forget to take your swimming costume!

Private Half day tour around Madeira Island

Harry_D, Oct 2026

Excellent tour of Madeira

Diogo our driver and tour guide messaged me ahead of time to say he’d be the cruise terminal to pick us up. He arrived promptly and our family of 6 were shown to his clean and comfortable minibus. We wanted to ride on the toboggan as most tourists to Madeira do and he dropped us all at the top of the hill at the station. Diogo then met us at the bottom and we proceeded with the rest of the tour which took us to various viewing points with ample time for photos. Diogo was an excellent guide and accomplished driver on the narrow Madeira roads. I highly recommend this tour with Diogo.

Simon_D, Oct 2026

One of the best boat trips I've ever taken

Faultless and if you can afford this trip, take it as they run a small group with wonderful staff. Boat was in great condition, plenty of drinks and snacks, take your trunks/cozzie as a swim is well worth it. They provided towels and somewhere to change, there was also a freshwater shower to use. We did see a good number of Pilot Whales but honestly, that become secondary for me on what was a brilliant trip. Thank you!

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!

Diego is the best!

Small group of people. Very friendly environment. It was honestly an incredible experience. Our tour guide Diego was the best. Gave us great recommendations about our plan to tour the island the following day. Included spots to eat, best view points, hikes, and additional entertainment.

Taste Funchal: food, wine & cultural tour

Hilary_W, Sept 2026

A wonderful experience

Today has been a wonderful day. We’ve experienced food tours before and enjoyed them, but today Mara proved to be a professional and knowledgeable guide, who quite righty takes pride in Funchal and wants her party to experience it too. Food, wine and culture are all shared with warmth and enthusiasm. We enjoyed every minute. Thank you !

Madeira 4x4 Jeep Safari : Porto Moniz, Lava Pools & Fanal Forest

Leo_O, Sept 2026

The only way to see Maderia.

The only way to see the island, a small independent company operated by two great local guys. Fábio an absolute gentleman took care of us on this superb adventure across Madeira. The sites, the hills, the views the adventure off road was just superb. A full day trip that was just a pleasure. Every stop is around 20 minutes from each so it feels easy and the shortcuts the 4X4 takes themselves are entertainment.
