Despite a great trip and the opportunity to take a dip in the sea at the foot of Cabo Girao, the dolphins/whales were a no show. However, VMT Madeira offers a free second trip if that happens, which was worth the additional expense when compared to some of the slightly cheaper trips available. I took my second trip a few days later in the afternoon and we were treated to a turtle passing by the boat and a pod of dolphins that swam ahead of the boat for a good 10 minutes. Great trip, great staff and would definitely recommend - the insurance of a second trip is definitely worth it.

Picked up promptly by the guide Francisco and he made us totally comfortable with the other two couples. Exceptional driving skills made the trip relaxing and real fun throughout the day for the six of us. This small country is made up of mountains and rugged coastline that is world class scenery that should not be missed. Would not hesitate to recommend Francisco and his company. Great value.

Sometimes the wait for bus is longer than scheduled but overall good service. The botanical garden cable car ticket I bought from you was NOT for the main cable service. It is a short cable ride beside the gardens. Most disappointing and it wasted time clarifying this. In the end I organised a cab up to the gardens and didn’t use the ticket at all.

Tiago was able to tell us things about the island and plant/animal life that we didn’t know despite this being our 5th visit to the island. The off road part was great fun. The weather slightly thwarted our chances of great views but still a worthwhile and amazing tour. Looking forward to seeing all the photographs.

Sarah was an awesome guide and we really enjoyed our time hiking from Pico do Arieiro to Pico Ruivo. The photos and stories was a highlight of our trip to Portugal and has been the most lovely topic of conversation upon arriving home. Thanks!
