4.Madeira East Island Tour and Levada Walk

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 787 reviews · from $63

Explore Madeira’s east by minibus, from Pico do Arieiro and a levada walk to Santana, rum tasting, coastal views, and lunch.

“Great trip. Our guide was knowledgeable about the island and also pointed out the fruit, veg and flowers growing along the roadsides. We saw so much in just one day. It was a small group and we had plenty of time at each stop to wander off on our own and do whichever thing suited us best. We especially loved the Levada walk and the views after driving up above the cloud level. Really good value for money and a great introduction to Madeira”
