What to expect

Venturing to Madeira's unspoiled lands and seas is easy on this combination 4x4 and catamaran tour. You'll spend the morning exploring country and coastal tracks to highlights like Boca dos Namorados and Cabo Girão, then the afternoon is for relaxing on a three-hour dolphin watching catamaran cruise.

First up it's Boca dos Namorados, a lookout overlooking the staggering depths of Nun's Valley. After a short trip we'll then arrive at Jardim da Serra, Madeira's cherry land. You'll also be taken to the highest sea cliff in Europe, Cabo Girão, where for a small fee you'll be able to gaze out over panoramic views towards the sea below. Finally, you'll head to Camara de Lobos for a Madeira wine tasting, where we'll wrap up the 4x4 portion of the tour.

Now, hop aboard a catamaran for a three-hour cruise from Funchal past Cabo Girão – where in summer you'll stop for a swim. You'll have the chance to look out for dolphins and whales in their natural habitat, too, before the trip ends back at the marina in Funchal.

Painful EasyJet delays outbound and inbound (we understand due to lack of baggage handling staff at Gatwick). Breakfast at Hotel OK, but evening dinner was poor, food was luke warm and vey salty. Rooms to rear of hotel (facing hill) were noisy, traffic noise all through the night. Lack of waiters in hotel dinning room, very slow to clear table or to make up tables. I normally avoid hotels with salt water swimming pools, this hotel reminded me why.

Madeira Monte Palace Tropical Gardens with optional toboggan ride

Excursions & day trips

Madeira Monte Palace Tropical Gardens with optional toboggan ride

The Monte Palace Tropical Gardens float a thousand metres above Funchal, so breathe deeply and enjoy the fresh mountain air on this half-day tour. You'll begin with a visit to the village of Monte, before heading to the main event – 70,000 square metres of themed gardens, sculptures, wildlife and water features.There's something new around every corner of this sprawling garden. Head to the lake to see koi carp, a waterfall and swans paddling by, stroll through the forested area to appreciate Madeira's native plants and make sure you visit the Japanese and Oriental gardens for intricate bridges, Buddha statues and incredible city views from the pagoda. There're also paths you can follow to see hundreds of sculptures and traditional azulejo – intricately painted ceramic tiles that tell the story of Portugal's history and culture. In Monte village, you'll have the option to pick up the pace with an experience that screams Madeira – a ride back down the hill in a wicker toboggan. It's the traditional way down and quite an adrenaline rush. The toboggan ride is an added cost, but if you choose not to take it, you'll enjoy a slower, yet equally scenic route down the mountain and back to your hotel.
