Madeira Discovery - Premium Adventure

No booking fees

Best price guaranteed

Adrift in the Atlantic, the Portuguese island of Madeira is a one-off – closer to Africa than it is mainland Europe. Join us on this small-group Premium Adventure for a deep exploration of this unique island. Guided by an expert tour leader, we experience the local culture on tours of the small towns and villages, marvel at subtropical landscapes on gentle walks, and, of course, dig into the regional food and drink scene. There’s also time to explore the lesser-visited island of Porto Santo, while ending each night at The Vine, a Premium hotel with a rooftop pool.

Enjoyable and leisurely trip, helped by blue sky and sunshine and brilliant tour leader Rocio. Tavira is pleasant and picturesque with small shops, restaurants and historic sites (recommend the Islamic Museum), nice to stroll around in the evening. Only negative comment is that walking four miles on sand isn’t easy or pleasant, even when it’s a beautiful beach.
