Day Trips & Tours from Funchal

35 tours · €23.25–€195 per person · ★ 4.8

Day tours in Funchal are how you reach Madeira's wild west and high peaks without renting a car or wrestling the switchback roads. A jeep tour puts a driver-guide between you and the island, looping out to the volcanic natural pools at Porto Moniz, the Fanal laurel forest and the dramatic Seixal coast in one full day from your hotel.

Compare day tours in Funchal by where you want to be. Hikers should look at the sunrise PR1 trek from Pico do Areeiro to Pico Ruivo, a small-group climb above the clouds to the island's highest point. The jeep itineraries lean into miradouros, the Câmara de Lobos viewpoints and Atlantic swimming spots out west. We'd book a guided full-day with hotel pickup and check the start time, since the best mountain light comes early.

35 Funchal day tours from €23. Full-day jeep runs and small-group hikes, private or shared, with hotel pickup and free cancellation on most - quick to book online.
