Madeiran wine, wildlife spotting and some thrilling off-roading combine with this trip. You'll venture along mountain roads to São Vicente valley, where you'll spend some time in a local vineyard. Enjoy a tour of the winery and a tipple, before we stop by Cabo Girão – one of the highest sea cliffs in Europe. Then, head to Funchal port and set sail in search of wild whales and dolphins.

This trip was fabulous! I could not recommend more highly. Our driver and guide was knowledgeable, entertaining and good fun. The ride was a bit bumpy at times, but that wasn't a problem for us. The views were pretty spectacular. The vineyard was lovely, the wine was good and our guide at the vineyard was fun too. Finally the catamaran was just brilliant. We saw dolphins, sea turtles and flying fish. We swam in the beautiful blue sea and enjoyed a few drinks too. Absolutely loved it!

4x4 driver was great and made it a fun and memorable experience. The Catamaran crew were fabulous and really seemed to care about the ocean wildlife. We saw bottle nosed dolphins and Mediterranean monk seal very close up. Beautiful

Loved all the experiences from Cabo Gairo to the vineyard and wine tasting experience. Pablo was an excellent guide and gave us many facts en route, very knowledgeable and thankfully a very good driver as he had to manoeuvre some tricky roads. We were then dropped off for our catamaran trip which was fabulous, we saw a bright whale and many dolphins. Fabulous day and would highly recommend this trip.

Guide communication was excellent defo worth having him as a member of the team, tui side communication poor, our boat trip didn’t even have us booked in took a while for them to try find me

War super Tour , der Fahrer/ Reiseführer war super nett , kann ich jedem empfehlen
