“We had a short stay in Madeira, and choosing this tour was one of the best decisions we made to explore the eastern part of the island. Pedro, our tour guide, was not only an excellent driver but also a fantastic guide. Driving on Madeira's roads can be challenging, so having a knowledgeable local guide made the experience both enjoyable and stress-free. Pedro shared so much about the island and its culture, giving us a deeper understanding of life in Madeira. The tour schedule was well-planned, offering a perfect balance of sightseeing, off-road adventures, hiking, and even rum tasting. We thoroughly enjoyed every part of the tour and highly recommend…”

Madeira East Island Tour with Levada Walk and Lunch

/ August 4, 2026

3.Madeira East Island Tour with Levada Walk and Lunch

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 174 reviews · 8 hours (approx.) · from $66

Madeira east coast day trip with levada walk, Santana and Camacha villages, 3-course lunch, wine, and Porto Cruz rum tasting.

“The write up for this experience is incorrect and misleading. It is not a small trip of 8 - there were 22 people on our day trip. Lunch is not included. The tour guide, while very knowledgeable, drops you at each point and you’re left to get on with it. The minibus had very small seats with very little legroom. I am a UK size 8 of average height and I felt cramped, many other fellow travellers were complaining too. I spent quite some time researching trips for this holiday and have used Viator many times before - this has been our first poor experience.”
