Review of Madeira’s West Tour to Fanal Forest and Porto Moniz, with small groups, hotel pickup, cliff views, market stops, and practical tips.

“A wonderful tour with Dino, who spoke perfect English and made every stop fun. He picked us up at our cruise ship (the Wind Star) and took us to seven stops, each more amazing than the last. Our first stop was a beautiful viewpoint where we were able to take a private cable car down to the beach to see exactly what we were looking at from above. The second stop was even more amazing, with a glass-bottomed viewpoint jutting out from the cliff. Then to the gorgeous coastal town of Ribeira Brava, where we went to the market and the small cathedral. We then headed up the mountain to…”

Explore Madeira’s west coast by minibus, from Cabo Girão and Fanal Forest to Porto Moniz pools, Seixal waterfalls, and lunch.

“Our tour started out a bit slow, because of issues with the van. Our guide Lucy intelligently went to get a new van before we left town. The company extended our tour at the end of the day because of the time lost at the beginning. Funchal and Madeira island are stunningly beautiful, our guide paid attention and figured out that we wanted to see more of the outdoors and walk around, rather than visit more touristy places. We would love to come back to Madeira, thanks to the beautiful places we saw on this tour!Read more”

Review of Madeira’s private west-side tour, with Cabo Girao, Porto Moniz pools, local villages, Funchal pickup, costs, and practical tips.

“Madeira was absolutely beautiful, beyond our expectations. We saw coastline, beaches with teal water, and also foggy mountain towns, and waterfalls - truly an incredible place. Diogo was fantastic! Our cruise ship stopped in Madeira for only 7-8 hours, and we were with Diogo for 6 of those hours - he really helped us maximize our time and had us back to our ship with time to spare! Excellent combination of driving and learning about the island from Diogo, and then stopping to walk around scenic towns and villages. And swimming in the natural pools at Porto Moniz was a once in a lifetime experience! Highly recommend!”

“This tour is so worth it! The drive felt safe but was so much fun, we learned so much about this side of the island. Plenty of the stops have washrooms, so don't worry about that. You'll stop at amazing view points, towns, and forests. You'll take new roles and old roads, and you'll experience so many amazing sights. This was the best day of our entire vacation. Thank you, Ricardo!”
