Tour of western Madeira
Tour that allows you to see the main sites of the west coast. We would have appreciated a stop in Seixal.
Response from the operator: Merci pour votre retour. Nous sommes ravis que cette excursion vous ait permis de découvrir les principaux sites de la côte ouest. Nous vous remercions pour votre suggestion concernant un arrêt à Seixal et espérons vous accueillir à nouveau prochainement.

Porto Moniz on an organized tour, yes but!
Magnificent landscapes and stops at beautiful viewpoints. A big downside for an excursion whose highlight is Porto Moniz. 1h50 stop including 1h10 at the restaurant. A good meal certainly, but very few opportunities for swimming. The restaurant is above the "natural" pools, a 10-minute walk from the developed pools where access is secure. It would have been necessary to offer a "free meal" option. Which would have given the leisure to go quietly to have a snack at one of the terraces bordering the pools, and to enjoy the latter quietly. If I come back, I will no longer take this excursion, I was very disappointed with this point.
Response from the operator: Merci de nous avoir fait part de vos commentaires. Nous sommes ravis d'apprendre que vous avez apprécié les magnifiques paysages et les points de vue. Nous regrettons que certains aspects de l'excursion n'aient pas pleinement répondu à vos attentes. Vos commentaires sont importants pour nous et seront pris en compte dans le cadre de nos efforts constants pour améliorer l'expérience de nos clients.

Extensive insights
Very extensive route. You get a good insight into the landscapes of Madeira. Our tour guide told us a lot about the country's culture. Unfortunately, there was a little too little time at the natural pools to fully enjoy the swimming experience.
Response from the operator: Wir bedanken uns herzlich für Ihr Feedback und die Zeit, die Sie sich genommen haben, um Ihre Erfahrungen mit uns zu teilen. Wir hoffen, Sie bald wieder bei uns begrüßen zu dürfen.

Why this scores 64
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Madeira Porto Moniz - West Tour: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Funchal.
How much does Madeira Porto Moniz - West Tour cost?
+
Prices start at $37 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 Porto Moniz - West Tour 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 Porto Moniz - West Tour worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 64 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.4/5 across 12 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 Porto Moniz - West 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 Madeira Porto Moniz - West Tour 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 Porto Moniz - West Tour?
+
Around 4 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 Porto Moniz - West 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, 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.
