1.West Madeira and Laurel Forest Day Trip

★★★★★★★★★★4.7 · 2,067 reviews · 8 hours · from $37Our pick

West Madeira day trip from Funchal with coastal villages, Cabo Girão, Fanal laurel forest, and Porto Moniz volcanic pools, plus north coast viewpoints.

“We enjoyed a fun and informative tour of the beautiful western side of the island thanks to our excellent guide, Daniel. He arrived for pick up on time and skillfully managed the sometimes difficult task of 'herding the cats' back onto the tour vehicle in order to keep close to the schedule as we made stops at the many well chosen places of interest en route. Spectacular scenery and a great day out. We will definitely try the eastern tour on our next visit to Madeira.”
