Ride a small-group open-roof 4x4 to Madeira’s Cabo Girão Skywalk, then hit scenic viewpoints with hotel pickup and guided wine tasting.
“Skywalk disappointing , stopped to watch a man making poncha which was ok. Stopped a couple of times to be informed about local plant life. Wine tasting compared to numerous others we have done was poor.”

Madeira’s best cliff views plus a 4x4 jeep route and an afternoon dolphin and whale cruise from Funchal, with pickup included.
“We were collected from our hotel at Cabo Girao at the advised time and met our fellow travellers - there were 7 of us in our 4WD vehicle plus the guide and driver and joined a convoy of approximately 8 vehicles. Our guide was knowledgeable on the area and gave us a good commentary of local information. We were taken up some very steep roads that would not have been accessible without 4WD! We stopped at a few locations to see the sights and take photographs, this also included a stop at a coffee shop where we were able to enjoy some delicious homemade cake. After the jeep tour we…”
Funchal Madeira day tour: jeep viewpoints, São Vicente wine tasting and Cabo Girão skywalk, then afternoon dolphin and whale watching.
“Amazing tour with guide David, a real family man. The wine tasting was incredible with really stunning views.”
8-hour Madeira wine day trip from Funchal with vineyard tour, tastings, traditional lunch, Fajã dos Padres cable car, and north coast stops.
“Our guide and driver for the day was Susana and she was fantastic - very friendly, chatty and informative (and excellent English). She took us to lots of interesting places in the morning and told us all about wine making in Madeira. She then took us to Barbusano vineyard for wine tasting and lunch - we got to sample 6 wines and then have as much as we wanted with the food (which was delicious). Susana then took us to Henriques & Henriques for Madeira tasting (5 glasses) before dropping us back for a well-needed snooze! I would definitely recommend this trip.”
Private half-day Madeira wine tasting from Funchal with Henriques & Henriques, tastings, and scenic stops in Câmara de Lobos.
“Not just a wine tour! Richard hosted the tasting of six Madeira wines at H&H. He was very knowledgeable about all of the wines and the processes used to produce them. Aside from the wine tasting, we were taken to several view points of the city (Funchal) and enjoyed his informative commentary. Superb tour, thoroughly recommend to any visitor to Madeira who's interested in wine.”
Half day Madeira jeep ride with sea-cliff viewpoints and a wine stop at Quinta do Barbusano, including pickup and small groups.
“The trip did not start off well with us being picked up an hour late and this was certainly not a "breathtaking jeep tour" but rather just a trip on the regular highway straight to the vineyard which was the only positive thing about this trip (great staff, great wines). After the wine tasting was over we only got to visit one of the five stops as advertised for the trip Cabo Girao. This stop was underwhelming due to the fact it was getting dark and could not be fully enjoyed.”
Funchal 4x4 wine tour with small-group off-road routes, Cabo Girão skywalk views, and six Madeira wine tastings at Quinta do Barbusano.
“This was a great trip. I was slightly concerned about the journey in the jeep, but once Lewis (Louis?) took us off road through the vineyards it was definitely worth it! Fabulous views, great welcome at Quinta Barbusana, interesting tour of the vineyard, and plenty of wine to taste! On the way back as all four of us on this tour had already visited Cabo Girão Louis kindly arranged for us to spend some time at Camara de Lobos as an alternative. Great half day trip.”
Scenic hiking plus rum tasting in Madeira, from Pico do Arieiro to Ponta de São Lourenço, with a small-group guide and hotel pickup.

“Alle vinene var gode og med en god introduktion.”
Taste Madeiran bar food and drinks in Funchal on a 3-hour small-group walk with pickup, guide Vitor, and local stories included.
“I highly recommend this tour. Vitor was an excellent guide, fun and informative. We got to see so much of the island, and really felt like we got to experience so many things we would not have been able to on our own. Thank you!”
A small-group evening in Funchal with Venezuelan starters, a Camera de Lobos drive, custom espetada, and a poncha finish.
“Had an amazing evening with Fabio on the Espetada tour! We stopped at a ‘Three door’ bar and had a delicious Poncha made right in front of us, then saw the sunset while enjoying a Nikita followed by a fabulous Espetada dinner with wine. Fabio makes this tour even more special. Thank you Fabio!”
