Private Half day tour around Madeira Island

Susan_C, Oct 2026

Day in Funchal/Madeira

We had a lovely day with our guide, Emanuel. Because it was a Sunday and the toboggans were closed, we were taken to see the beautiful Nun’s Valley and other breathtaking sights. Our cruise had us in port for 2 days, so we took the cable car up to see Monte’s Garden and Palace on our own. The toboggans were running that Saturday but we didn’t want to wait 2 hours in line.

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.

Pedro Party Tours

Pedro was a wonderful guide for the day - we had a mixed small group of Brits, German and Ukraniane and Pedro kept us entertained and safe theough the whole trip. He has amazing energy and a great driver taking us up and down some thrilling roads and chatting to us at drink stops and sharing many fun stories. Highly recommended! Pedro you are a legend!

Madeira Sunset at Pico do Arieiro and PR1 Stairway To Heaven

Mich_N, Sept 2026

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.

Great driver and experience

Pedro was a great driver, very safe and he spent time making sure we understood the route and hike. It was a cloudy day for us but honestly still worth it, we still managed to see some of the sunrise and the weather changes to quickly it was almost like doing the hike on different days. Thank you!

Molly_R, Sept 2026

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

Liana_M, Jul 2026

Superb Tour of West Madeira!

What a brilliant way to see the west side of this beautiful island! We had an amazing day out visiting various points of interest. Our host Neli was fantastic, very friendly and knowledgeable. My 7 year old loved the shortcuts where we got to stand up in the open-top jeep! Other highlights included the thrill of standing on the glass floor at Cabo Girão, having a wander in the misty Fanal forest, and swimming in the volcanic pools at Porto Moniz. Would highly recommend this tour!

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

Ian_N, Jul 2026

Half Day Island Tour

This was one of the highlights of our trip to Madeira! The half-day private island tour was the perfect way to experience so many of the island’s breathtaking viewpoints and beautiful landscapes without feeling rushed. Having a private tour made all the difference. We were able to explore at our own pace, spend extra time at the places we loved most, and enjoy a relaxed, stress-free day without being tied to a large group or strict schedule. Our guide, Luis, was fantastic. He was incredibly friendly, fun to talk to, and had an impressive knowledge of Madeira’s history, culture, and natural beauty. Every stop came with interesting stories and insights that made us appreciate the island even more. If you’re visiting Madeira and want an easy, enjoyable way to see the island while learning about its history and culture, I can’t recommend this tour enough. The scenery is spectacular, the experience is completely stress-free, and Luis made the day even more memorable. We would absolutely recommend this tour to anyone visiting Madeira!

Half-Day Small-Group Madeira Village Safari from Funchal

gabriella_g, May 2026

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.

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!

Absolutely fantastic!

Could not recommend this experience any more! A fantastic tour of the island, stopping at all of the hot spots. Our driver was so friendly and easy to chat to - very knowledgeable about the island, I learnt a lot! There’s no better way to explore Madeira than on a jeep, the off-roading was so fun! A real highlight of my trip!

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!
