PR-1 You Have To Do It!

Not for the faint hearted as there are places where the drop is huge and you are not far from that drop, but you soon get used to it and then the experience, views and overall challenge of this hike becomes very, very rewarding. I loved every minute and believe everyone who comes to Madeira should experience this hike.

Flexible, local, and totally personalized

I booked a last-minute trip to Madeira and was looking for a small group tour that actually felt personalized. I ended up booking with Diogo, and it turned out to be a private tour—such an awesome surprise! Right after booking, Diogo was super quick to message me with his availability and clear meeting spots. Because he's a local, he knew the island inside and out, which gave me that true insider perspective you just can't get from a standard guidebook. He was so warm and easy to chat with, and I especially loved that he gave me plenty of space to wander around and explore on my own at each stop. Highly recommend Diogo if you want an amazing, authentic experience on such a stunning island!

What truly made the day exceptional, was our Pedro, he was energetic, highly knowledgeable, and deeply passionate about Madeira’s history, culture, and nature. Every stop was well-timed, we never felt rushed, and they went out of their way to share local insider tips, point out hidden gems, and answer every question with enthusiasm.

Wear a waterproof jacket and shoes with good treads

It’s September and down in Funchal is was a beautiful day. We were shocked that it was so cold on top. Even though I had a light jacket the guide scrounged a winter jacket for several of us on the right. My husband had a rain suit back at the hotel but we never dreamed we’d need it. The wind was grueling. It was so wet that we could wring our clothes out. Not everyone made it all the way but you should definitely do this tour. We were up in the clouds and it was like walking on the top of a mountain. It was the best thing we did on this island. My advice bring a warm jacket that is waterproof if you can even if it’s beautiful at your hotel. At age 62 I made it all the way but some people could not go all the way. You should be in decent shape. Also wear shoes with good grip. Some of the rocks are slippery. When you get to the point where you see the gate …turn around…take a picture. This is where all the Google pics of people posing are. This is the hike you will remember your whole life….I guarantee it.

Amazing tour!!!!

Horst (sorry if not spelled right!) and Fransisco were great guides. Horst knew everything you could possibly think to ask him and was so passionate about the animals. I think he explained in detail about everything we saw in about 5 !? Languages. I am quite nervous on water but I felt really safe and secure on the tour, especially because the guide was so knowledgable about the animals. It was such a great tour and experience. Thank you so much!

Full-Day Jeep Safari West: Fanal, Porto Moniz, Seixal, Cabo Girão

Fantastic jeep safari

This trip was really good value. Saw so much of the west of the island. Stopped mid morning at a lovely rustic, isolated bar where the lady owner was a delight and her homemade original poncha was the best I’ve ever tasted!!!! The lunchtime stop in Porto Moniz was great, beautiful scenic location. You either eat or swim as the 1.1/2 hour stop is not really enough to do both, but I wouldn’t want more time there as there was so much more of the island to see. Highlight for me was the falal forest. It’s a long day and the jeep makes it tiring but I think it’s well worth it.

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.

Roadtrip to Madeira mountains

This is a roadtrip to the area surrounding Funchal in a jeep. You will be seated in the back of a jeep: and need to be able to climb into and out of it. The position can be uncomfortable if you have knee pain or other leg issues , definitely not good for customers with mobility issues. The road trip was a lot of fun as you travel inland thru roads, narrow streets, up steep slopes and eventually off-road thru a forest! We enjoyed our tour of Madeira! Wish there was more information with the trip, like data about the island and since when it was inhabited, etc.

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

The best way to see the West – amazing day with Miguel!

My girlfriend and I had an incredible tour of the western part of Madeira with Miguel. We were lucky enough to be the only guests, which turned the day into a fantastic private experience. Miguel is not just a knowledgeable guide but also a great person to talk to. We chatted about everything – from the island's history to general life topics – making the time between stops fly by. He was incredibly flexible, offering us alternative stops based on our interests and giving us plenty of time at every location without rushing. Plus, his insider tips for other activities on the island were super helpful. If you want a relaxed, personalized, and memorable tour, book with Miguel!

Whale and Dolphin Watching Tour in Madeira

Byron_K, Oct 2025

Gorgeous day on the water

Great communication from On Tales up through the morning of the cruise. Had about ten people on the boat during our 10:30 expedition - everybody fit more than comfortably. Beatriz and Bruno were friendly, knowledgeable and skilled and were very up front with the days conditions and expected sightings. Cruised off Calheta for a while chasing a few dolphins which we managed to see, although they were feeding at the time and not in a bigger school. Lovely ride across long, gentle waves along the scenic south coast. Stop near Porta Do Sol for some swimming and the place lived up to its name with the sun in full effect. Refreshments during the cruise and full access to all areas of the boat. Even with minimal dolphin and whale activity it was an exceptional day on the water. Highly recommended especially if you prefer a smaller group setting than the larger tourist boats!
