Overview

Join us on this relaxing tour of Madeira and experience a unique holiday in Portugal. Known as the ‘floating flowers garden’, this beautiful Portugal island is situated in the Atlantic Ocean between the Canaries and Portugal. Despite its small size, Madeira has so much to offer, incredible natural landscapes, green terraced mountainsides, dramatic rocky outcrops and picturesque villages, as well as a superb climate. We’ll embark on a city tour of Funchal to discover the vibrant markets and botanic gardens. No visit would be complete without tasting the island’s most famous export, we’ll enjoy sampling Madeira Wine at a local winery. We’ll learn more about island’s intriguing history and experience its breath-taking scenery with various excursions, including an East Island Madeira tour, Ribeiro Frio natural park, the Eira do Serrado volcano craters and the quaint thatched roof cottages of Santana. There will also, of course, be plenty of free time to explore Madeira at your own pace, relax on the coast, go on a whaler and dolphin watching excursion or experience the famous tobaggan ride on a traditional wicker sledge. Uncover this wonderful part of Portugal with us and see the top highlights of Madeira.
