Madeira tours: our selection
We analysed every tour Viator lists for these 21 collections, what each trip includes, its programme and its conditions, and picked the top 142. Each tour comes with our short judgement.
Prices, ratings and reviews as of 21 September 2026. Rating and the number of reviews count as one of the criteria: every tour here had 4.5 stars or more from at least 30 reviews when we chose it. How we choose.
Top 7 whale and dolphin watching tours in Madeira
7 of 31from €35Small boats and catamarans for wildlife watching. I'd choose by group size and which marina you can reach.
Top 9 4x4 jeep tours of west Madeira
9 of 93from €55I'd choose the west for Fanal and the pools at Porto Moniz. These jeep days include hotel pickup.
Top 11 4x4 jeep tours of east Madeira
11 of 53from €55Jeep days for mountain viewpoints and Santana's houses. Several include a levada walk for time out of the vehicle.
Top 9 sunrise tours and guided hikes at Pico do Arieiro
9 of 60from €30Viewpoint trips suit a sunrise visit without a long walk. Hikers can choose a guide or walk independently after a transfer.

Top 4 Pico do Arieiro to Pico Ruivo hikes with transport
4 of 20from €40Guided walks and transfers for the PR1 ridge in daylight. Past Pedra Rija the trail is one way, so someone has to collect you at Achada do Teixeira.
Top 5 canyoning tours in Madeira for beginners
5 of 16from €65These guided trips let beginners abseil waterfalls. I'd choose the option with alternatives to jumps if jumping worries you.
Top 4 scuba diving and snorkelling trips in Madeira
4 of 25from €42Two first-dive centres, a tank dive with sharks in Porto Moniz and an SSI Open Water course. At both first-dive centres the lowest price is the pool session. The sea dive option costs more.
Top 5 wine tasting and food tours in Madeira
5 of 36from €70A walk through Funchal's tastings or a day out in the vineyards with lunch. I'd pick by how much time you have, then by whether you want to eat or drink more.
Top 3 boat trips and sunset cruises from Funchal
3 of 36from €35Daytime cruises with a swim stop and sunset sails from Funchal marina. The cheap catamarans carry a crowd; the cruise with lunch carries 55 at most.
Top 4 Funchal city tours: walking and tuk-tuk, plus the bus question
4 of 55from €16.40An hour or two in Funchal by tuk-tuk or on foot. The two hop-on hop-off buses fall below our bar, and the page says why.
