Bit disappointing.
Mixed thoughts on this trip. You get a snapshot of lots of different places but some are better than others, we loved Camara de Lobos. For us, this looked like the best place and we would have loved to have spent more than 20 mins here. The skywalk at Cabo Girao is ok, a bit underwhelming. I was expecting it to be a bit bigger than what it was. Ribeira Brava was not bad, the fanal forest was also underwhelming. Maybe it’s something that looks better when the mist is present and low which it wasn’t whilst we were there. Porto Moniz was nice. We had lunch in the restaurant near the pools which was lovely and very reasonable, we didn’t swim but if you want to then you will love this place. The Brides Veil waterfall is ok but again, I’ve seen better. And there wasn’t really anything much to look at in Sal Vicente. But the best thing about the tour was Marco who was amazing. Very funny and entertaining and so informative about Madeira, the history, its people, everything, we learnt so much from him.
Response from the operator: Hello , the feedback section ist to rate the travel agency, if you haven't enjoyed the places we are not responsible for that. As you said, the guide was good. When you have booked the tour the timings as the itinerary as well where saying how long would you be stopping in every place. 3 stars to qualify our company is a little bitte harsh. We proud our selfs to have certified exelent guides and confortable minibuses , but there is nothing that we can do to change the places of the island , that's what we have to offer !

The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Full-Day Porto Moniz Madeira Island Tour: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Funchal.
How much does Full-Day Porto Moniz Madeira Island Tour cost?
+
Prices start at $46 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 Full-Day Porto Moniz Madeira Island Tour take?
+
Plan for about 7 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 Full-Day Porto Moniz Madeira Island Tour worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 77 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.8/5 across 62 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable most popular in Funchal, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Full-Day Porto Moniz Madeira Island Tour?
+
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 Full-Day Porto Moniz Madeira Island Tour suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 7-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Full-Day Porto Moniz Madeira Island Tour?
+
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 7-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Full-Day Porto Moniz Madeira Island Tour 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, Madeira 4x4 Jeep Safari : Porto Moniz, Lava Pools & Fanal Forest. 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.
What is included in Full-Day Porto Moniz Madeira Island Tour?
+
Included: In-vehicle air conditioning. Not included: 5€ Entrance Fee to Cabo Girão Skywalk not included; and Pickups outside Funchal and Caniço have additional fee. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

+

What languages is Full-Day Porto Moniz Madeira Island Tour offered in?
+
