👍👍 Thank you so much to Peter, Viktor & Lucas our guides for the advanced level canyoning. We literally had the best days canyoning, from a 60m waterfall to technical overhangs, tight crevices, jumps and slides. These guys are simply the most professional and talented on Madeira! There really is no one...

👍👍 It was exhilarating experience to walk the peak to peak hike on Madeira with Up Mountain in January 2023. Both our guide, Miguel, and our driver were excellent. We learned a lot about the geological, natural and political history of the land. Incredible and rugged landscape. Our guide also fetched...

Gaviao - Dolphin & Whale watching trips
Boat tour agency
👍 Nice small boat and friendly crew. When you take the trip to watch dolphins be prepared just to enjoy the trip as you may well not see any dolphins or whales. I've learned subsequently that October and November is when there are the most sightings - other times of the year you have to be lucky.

Monte Palace Tropical Garden
Botanical garden
👍👍 We loved this calm oasis! A beautiful space to spend half a day wandering through the many areas and exhibitions. The crystals one is not to be missed. There are so many paths to follow, Stepping stones to use and so much running water, streams and ponds to see. The gardens are planted with a great...

Tukxi Madeira & Lisboa

👍👍 Friendly and informative, our tour took us to the top of Monte where we caught the tobbogen. Picked up at the end of the run for a drive through old town taking in some hidden spots along the way. The tuk tuk is slightly noisy - primarily due to the cobbles - but such good fun. Fully air-condition...

Poças do Governador
Tourist attraction
👍👍 One of the hidden gems of Funchal that can be easily missed. You can see the cliffs from above the promenade walk, but you can go through the small gate and follow the path down to the ocean. Spend a few minutes listening to the waves smashing into the cliffs.

👍👍 We did the 3 hour food and wine tour in Funchal. Our guide, Rachel, was really friendly and informative. She took us to two touristy places (Blandys and the market) but otherwise showed us local spots which we would probably have missed otherwise. We learned a lot about the city, traditional food, l...

Quinta Magnólia Tennis & Padel
Garden
😠 This is so sad. Everywhere in this beautiful garden/park they have animals in cages. Birds and rabbits. The rabbits have no space, no gras to run on, they look so sad and bored. It's unacceptable in 2021 to pretend that you care for animals and then put them in cages like that for everyone to stare...
