Nature & Wildlife Tours in Madeira

28 tours · €35–€310 per person · ★ 4.9

Nature and wildlife tours are how you get to the wild side of Madeira without renting a car or planning the logistics yourself. A guided nature tour in Madeira covers the parts that are hard to reach on your own, from the laurel forest in the north to the volcanic pools on the coast, with a driver-guide who knows where to stop and when.

When you compare nature and wildlife tours in Madeira, think about what you most want to see. We'd look for a jeep safari that takes in Pico do Arieiro and the natural pools at Porto Moniz, and the misty Fanal forest is worth saying yes to. If marine life is the draw, a whale and dolphin watching trip off the south coast is the one to book. Some are full-day 4x4 excursions; others are half-day boat outings. Private tours let you set the pace; small-group options keep the price down.

28 nature and wildlife tours in Madeira from €35. Half-day and full-day, private and small-group, hotel pickup and free cancellation on most - 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.
