Amazing Experience with Great Service - My husband and I had the best Half Day tour with Kai and Joao! It was the highlight of our trip to Madeira to get to relax and enjoy the beautiful scenery while having incredible service. Both Kai and Joao were very knowledgeable about the island and were happy to answer all of our questions and give local insight. The Portuguese wine they selected for us to try was my favorite of the trip, and the pesto board and fruit platter they prepared were delicious. The spot they chose to anchor for a swim/lunch was beautiful and it was very nice that it was not crowded - definitely a local gem versus the crowded beaches we visited on our own. Couldn't recommend this more - just wish we did the full day to have more time!

Wonderful Day on the Water - Fantastic experience today with Alex and Pedro, who were friendly and easy going. My husband and I did the full day, which was 6 hours, and it was exactly what I had in mind when booking. There were light snacks and wine included, and plenty of opportunities to swim, sunbathe, watch dolphins, and enjoy the Madeira coastline from a new perspective.
