Enjoy looking at a collection of thousands of items made from wicker – furniture, baskets and more unusually, animals. One-stop not to miss is Pico do Arieiro (1818 m.). The views of the wild volcanic peaks are awe-inspiring. Our next stop in Ribeiro Frio Natural Park will allow you to travel back in time 1 million 800 thousand years as you walk around the fascinating Laurisilva forest – UNESCO World Heritage Site. We’ll stop at a viewpoint in Faial to enjoy the fabulous views over the coastline, and later, in Santana, you’ll see some of the oldest houses in Madeira, the famous traditional thatched cottages. After enjoying free time for lunch, we’ll pass by the charming views of Portela, overlooking the village of Porto da Cruz, and the famous Eagle’s rock.

Madeira island holidays are the ideal getaway all year round. Madeira weather in coastal areas is temperate and mild with no great extremes-although the temperature can drop the higher you go on the island so, whatever time of year you visit, be sure to bring warm clothes when visiting the mountains. Obviously, rainfall is higher in the winter and you’ll probably need to pack a rain coat or umbrella. Madeira’s average temperatures range from 18C in winter to 25C in summer, with sea temperatures being nearly the same due to a warm Gulf Stream that surrounds the Island all year round, 18C to 22C.

The dress code for our tours is comfortable and casual. Dressing in layers gives most comfort as you can shed and add items when the climate varies. Consider packing.

  • Comfortable walking shoes
  • An all-weather coat 
  • Comfortable clothing.

Tours operate rain or shine, but in the case of inclement weather, your Tourist Guide will modify the tour so more time is spent indoors. It never hurts to have an umbrella on hand.
