Madeira Sunset at Pico do Arieiro and PR1 Stairway To Heaven

Molly_J, Jul 2026

Hike above the clouds

The sunset hike at Pico de Arieiro & the Stairway to Heaven was exhilarating & the views were spectacularly breathtaking! The hike is challenging but so worth it! God’s beautiful creation is something to behold! Our guide, Davide, was very accommodating & ensured everyone was comfortable during transport to the trailhead & the return to our accommodations. He provided guidance before we started our hike, & his knowledge of the terrain was especially valuable. This was one of the best days of my life! You don’t want to miss the hike & the jaw dropping views; it is worth every step!

VipDolphins Luxury Whale Watching

Jess_W, Jun 2026

Don’t go anywhere else for whale/dolphin watching!

Absolutely amazing experience! You can tell that crew love their job and it just makes the day all the better from their enthusiasm about preservation of the marine life. The boat was immaculate, great viariety of nibbles going around and even saw a baby dolphin!! And a leather back turtle which is really rare. This is a trip that is 100% worth the money, will definitely be back. Thankyou so much!

Madeira Dolphin and Whale Watching on a Ecological Catamaran

Helen_I, Jun 2026

Excellent 3 hour trip!

We have done a Magic Dolphin sea safari before so opted for the catamaran trip this time. We pre-booked with Viator before our trip and arrived at the meeting point 30 minutes prior to the scheduled time. Boarding was quick and easy and we set off bang on time. We saw a large group of spotted dolphins very quickly then went on to see bottlenose dolphins, a sea turtle, 3 types of whale, a large amount of birds and some flying fish! We were informed each time there was a sighting and where on the boat it was best to see them and the information given was very interesting. There was a bar selling drinks and snacks and toilets were available. An excellent trip out!

Jeep Tour Amazing West to Natural Pools -Full-Day

Christopher_W, Jun 2026

Good Experience to Book

Really good day out and Tiago was an excellent tour guide. The trip is well worth it, some of the views were not able to be seen because of low cloud cover ... but you cannot control the weather. We also went into the volcanic pools ... it was raining but warm so we went in anyway. (you are already wet anyway!!!) Would recomend and no issues with the experience delivered.

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

Mark_R, Jun 2026

What an amazing day from...

What an amazing day from start to finish! This tour is such a great way to see so many of Madeira’s most beautiful places in one day. Every stop was unique, from the stunning natural pools at Porto Moniz to the breathtaking views at Seixal, the magical Fanal Forest, and the incredible Skywalk. Our tour guide, Michael, was fantastic. He was really funny, friendly, and made sure we got the most out of the whole experience. He shared lots of interesting information and made the day enjoyable from beginning to end. You get to see so much, and it’s definitely worth the money. I’d also recommend taking your swimwear so you can enjoy the natural pools. You can safely leave your belongings in the tour vehicle while you swim, and there are facilities to get changed at the stops. This was one of the highlights of our holiday, and I’d highly recommend it to anyone visiting Madeira!

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

Linda_D, Jun 2026

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.

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!

Full Day Jeep Safari East - Pico do Areeiro - Santana - Ponta de são Lourenço

Karen_G, May 2026

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 :)
