Private Island Tour

Private Full-Day Tour of Madeira: East or West Side Exploration

Discover the island on your own terms, tailored entirely to your group.


This private Madeira island tour offers a full day of personalised exploration, letting you and your group of up to six people shape the experience around your interests. Whether you prefer the dramatic eastern landscapes or the lush western valleys, the route adapts to you.

Unlike fixed group tours, this eight-hour private journey is designed around flexibility. Your guide works with you to prioritise the viewpoints, villages, and natural landmarks that matter most to your group, making every stop intentional rather than prescribed.

The tour also accommodates special requests such as photography sessions, picnic setups, sunrise or sunset timing, and small celebrations. This level of customisation makes it a practical choice for anniversaries, milestone trips, or travellers who simply prefer a more personal pace.

Tour Highlights

Choose to explore either the East or West side of Madeira, each offering distinct scenery and character.

Fully private tour for groups of up to six, with no strangers sharing your vehicle or schedule.

Special photoshoot arrangements can be organised at scenic locations across the island.

Sunrise and sunset experiences can be incorporated based on your preferred timing and location.

Picnic setups and small celebrations can be arranged with advance notice during booking.

An eight-hour window gives your group ample time to explore without feeling rushed.
