MADEIRA · 3-HOUR EXPERIENCES
This is the shortlist you would send a friend: 3 3-hour experiences worth the money, each with its price, its traveller verdict and the one thing to know before you commit.
Spend three hours aboard Santa Maria de Colombo, a full-size replica of Columbus’s flagship, sailing from Funchal along Madeira’s south coast. Watch for dolphins and whales, stop near Cabo Girão for a swim, and enjoy Madeira wine with honey cake. Bring warm layers or swimwear, depending on the season.
“Only problem was that the guides explained very little during the journey and their English/Spanish was very bad”
Join guide Nuno in a private 1990 Renault 4L for a 2 to 3 hour west Madeira outing from Funchal. You’ll visit Camara de Lobos, cross rural roads, look over the glass platform at Cabo Girão, and stop in Ribeira Brava. Expect close quarters, changing weather, and a personal English-language tour.
“What can I say Nuno that hasn't been said, probably not much but the man is outstanding at his job, what he doesn't know about Madeira is not worth knowing. The whole experience from start to finish was amazing and was by far the best part of our 2 week holiday, for anyone thinking of booking this don't think just book it and you will not be disappointed. Thank you again Nuno Tony & Liz”
Ride Madeira’s old roads in a private motorcycle sidecar with guides such as Nuno, Tino, or Filipe. You’ll see Atlantic views, hilltop villages, Ribeira Brava, Câmara de Lobos, and Madeira’s wine country, with helmet communication, photo stops, and pickup from Funchal, Caniço, or Câmara de Lobos.
“I thoroughly enjoyed my day out..... and to see it from a side car was exceptional. My driver NINO { I hope that's correct}? was very informative and professional, I'd highly recommend this excursion if visiting the Island 🏝️ fabulous 😁”
Pick a coast, a ridge or a cellar.
