Looking for a more personal and flexible way to explore Madeira? Our Private Tour is designed to give you complete freedom to experience the island your way.
This is a fully tailored experience, perfect for couples, families, or small groups who want privacy, comfort, and control over their day.
When booking a private tour, you reserve the entire van (up to 8 people), meaning the experience is exclusively yours, with no other guests.
You can choose to explore either the east or west side of Madeira, allowing us to focus on one region and make the most of your time. Prefer dramatic coastlines and hidden waterfalls? We will build your day around the west. Interested in mountains, viewpoints, and cultural spots? We will create a route through the east.
Your private tour can be as relaxed or as adventurous as you like. In addition to sightseeing, you can include extra experiences such as boat trips, paragliding, wine tasting, and swimming stops or special viewpoints. We will help you design a day that fits exactly what you are looking for.
One of the biggest advantages of a private tour is the flexibility in timing. You can choose a sunrise start, beginning early and experiencing Madeira at its most peaceful, or a sunset finish, ending your day with a stunning sunset in a carefully selected location. Tour duration options: half-day (4 hours) or full-day (8 hours). Your start time will be adjusted depending on your preference.
With a private tour, everything is designed around you, your pace, your interests, and your ideal experience. This is the perfect option if you are looking for a more exclusive and relaxed atmosphere, a custom itinerary, and the freedom to explore Madeira privately. Your day, your pace, your Madeira.
