Review of Madeira’s Cabo Girão, mountain jeep ride, wine and poncha tasting, and dolphin cruise from Funchal, with practical booking tips.
“We were collected from our hotel at Cabo Girao at the advised time and met our fellow travellers - there were 7 of us in our 4WD vehicle plus the guide and driver and joined a convoy of approximately 8 vehicles. Our guide was knowledgeable on the area and gave us a good commentary of local information. We were taken up some very steep roads that would not have been accessible without 4WD! We stopped at a few locations to see the sights and take photographs, this also included a stop at a coffee shop where we were able to enjoy some delicious homemade cake. After the jeep tour we…”
Review of Madeira’s wine, skywalk, 4x4 and dolphin tour, with honest advice on views, guides, timing, value, and what to expect.

We were lucky and had a nice group and had a great time during the skywalk and wine tasting. After this Paulo told us that this was the end of his tour and that he would take us to the next tour, which was dolphin watching. We were the only 3 of the 7 who had combined this. What a disappointment this…”
Review of Madeira’s Cabo Girão, winery tour, off-road drive, and three-hour dolphin cruise, with honest tips on value, timing, and drawbacks.
“Het leukste aan de activiteit was het wijnproeven, de info die we daar kregen en de korte safaririt met de open dak. De boottrip was echter niet zo, die was erg lang gezien weinig verandering uitzicht e.n beperkte info. Het was vooral veel varen, kort zwemmen (Max. 10 minuten) en er werd helemaal geen verdere informatie of praatje gegeven over de dieren etc. De crew gaf aan het begin een veiligheidsinstructie echter waren zij niet te verstaan boven het geronk van de boot.”
