Traveler reviews

Disappointed in Size of Group
We booked this "small group" excursion & got a message the morning of the tour that we would not be picked up at our accommodations but had to walk down to the bus area by the cable car. We were picked up by a 20 passenger bus and proceeded to the port for passengers and then on to about 5 or 6 hotels for additional passengers until the bus was almost full. We felt this was a "bait and switch" situation and were disappointed. We wanted a small group experience. That said, Marta, the guide & driver, did her best in both English & German to make the tour interesting. The views are really spectacular on the East side of the Island.

Not as beautiful as the West
Madeira as an island is blessed with natural beauty. However, west side of the island is much more stunning than the east side. If you have been to the west first, you would not enjoy the east as much. If you are trying the east first, you would enjoy.

Why this scores 49
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Madeira East Island Full Day Small-Group Tour from Funchal: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Funchal.
How much does Madeira East Island Full Day Small-Group Tour from Funchal cost?
+
Prices start at $148 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 Madeira East Island Full Day Small-Group Tour from Funchal take?
+
Plan for about 8 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 Madeira East Island Full Day Small-Group Tour from Funchal worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 49 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (3/5 across 2 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 Madeira East Island Full Day Small-Group Tour from Funchal?
+
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 Madeira East Island Full Day Small-Group Tour from Funchal suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 8-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Madeira East Island Full Day Small-Group Tour from Funchal?
+
Around 1 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 8-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Madeira East Island Full Day Small-Group Tour from Funchal 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.
