Tours in Madeira

125 tours in Madeira, from €16.4 to €310 per person, average rating 4.8 based on 26437 reviews.

Madeira is built for getting outside, and a guide saves you the hairpin drives and the guesswork. The island climbs from Funchal into cloud forest and drops to black-sand bays, with the best of it along levada trails and clifftop miradouros you'd struggle to reach alone. Booking tours in Madeira lets someone else handle the roads while you take in the views from Pico do Arieiro and Cabo Girão.

For a first trip, we'd start with a full-day island loop, then a levada walk through Rabaçal or the Laurisilva forest. Boat trips out of Funchal for dolphins and whales are an easy win, and a half-day in Câmara de Lobos wine country suits a slow afternoon. Adventure and 4x125 tours reach the wild north and Porto Moniz, and the best Madeira tours add day trips to Santana and the eastern Ponta de São Lourenço peninsula.

125 tours in Madeira from €16. Adventure, boat, wine, walking and sightseeing day trips, private and small-group, with free cancellation on most - easy to book online.

Planning a trip to Madeira

Best time to visit

Madeira is known as the island of eternal spring, with mild temperatures all year. Spring and early autumn are ideal for levada walks and mountain views; summer is warm and busy, and winter is popular for sunshine and the famous New Year fireworks.

Getting there & around

Flights land at Madeira Airport (FNC) near Funchal. The island is mountainous with winding roads, so a 4x4 jeep tour, organised excursion or hired car is the easiest way to reach the levadas, peaks and north-coast villages.
