1.Cabo Girao, Jeep Tour Adventure and Wine Tasting

★★★★★★★★★★4.8 · 443 reviews · 4 hours · from $57Our pick

Review of Madeira’s half-day jeep tour to Boca dos Namorados, Cabo Girão, local bars and free Madeira wine tasting.

“It was such a fun experience! Our guide, Gil Sousa went out of his way to make it worthwhile. Told us so much information and fun facts about the island. Drove around beautiful spots and to get there it was quite an adventurous drive, but we felt very safe with Gil Sousa as our driver ;). Stopped in the middle of the tour to let us smell the Eucalyptus trees when we went through the forest, picked some fresh parsley growing casually besides the road, had one of the best Poncha's that were made right in front of us. Overall, great tour and definitely recommend.”

“Leisurely day of wine tasting and seeing the island, with a great guide. We learned the difference between Madeira Wine and Madeiran Wine, and walked along stunning vineyards and saw beautiful views of the island. Lunch was delicious, and the opportunity to try Madeira Wines made by two different methods was really interesting. One of the highlights of our holiday. Being in a small group was really great, we had plenty of opportunities for questions and we didn’t feel rushed at any point during the day.”
