    Never book with this operator

    A disgraceful operator. Cancelled our tour after it was scheduled to begin. No phone call, no warning, just a single sentence message I was lucky to see. Quoting force majeur. Never, ever, book a tour with this operator. I am disgusted.

    They cancelled twice for no reason, two planned days wasted

    Booked this tour twice on our weeks holiday, first time Wednesday, was cancelled by tour operator night before, gave them another chance, booked Thursday for Monday, they cancelled again this morning (Sunday). Don't waste your time.

    Worth to experience

    Worth to see if you have the fog and afterwards you can do the PR13 and/or PE14 trail

    Beautiful secret hike through Fanal

    We booked a secret hike with Paulo through Getyourguide. I highly recommend it because he takes you on different quieter routes away from other tourists. Its a beautiful place to hike and see the amazing trees.

    Fantastic day in misty Fanal

    It was an amazing trip with a stop by black sand beach in Seixal and Ribeira da Janela as well on top of the main stop in Fanal forest. The guide was fantastic, he didn’t rush us at all, allowing us to take several pictures (you can imagine when you have other groups as well and you just want to wait for the best moment…). We had fog as well which made it really misty and incredible. The trees are something difficult to explain in words, I really recommend this trip! Don’t leave Madeira without visiting Fanal 😎

    Fanal -Enchanted Forest: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Funchal.

    How much does Fanal -Enchanted Forest cost?

    +

    Prices start at $71 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Funchal usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does Fanal -Enchanted Forest take?

    +

    Plan for about 2 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Funchal is not rushed.

    Is Fanal -Enchanted Forest worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 56 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.5/5 across 64 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Funchal, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Fanal -Enchanted Forest?

    +

    Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

    Is Fanal -Enchanted Forest suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 2-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Fanal -Enchanted Forest?

    +

    Around 22 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Funchal can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

    What should I bring or wear?

    +

    Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Funchal and add a light layer if any part of the 2-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Fanal -Enchanted Forest start and how do I get there?

    +

    The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Funchal within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

    What are the best things to do in Funchal?

    +

    On Outty we rank every Funchal experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Jeep Tour Amazing West to Natural Pools -Full-Day, Porto Moniz, Seixal, Fanal Forest, Cliff Skywalk in Open Roof 4X4, West Tour-Fanal Forest & Porto Moniz Natural Pools Small Groups. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

    When is the best time to visit Funchal?

    +

    Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

    How many days do you need in Funchal?

    +

    Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

    Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

    +

    Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
