Amazing 6 Hours on Happy Hour Madeira - Our family of 6 adults booked a 6 hour private boat tour with Happy Hour Madeira. Alex and Pedro were outstanding hosts and everything exceeded our expectations. The "snack" were enough for lunch (we don't eat tons :)) and the drinks kept flowing. I would HIGHLY recommend this group!

Unforgettable boat ride - Matilde, Pedro and Manel were super professionals and organized a half-day tour that exceeded expectations. Since the sympathy, knowledge about the island, the sea and not least the snacks, provided a very special day for my friends who were visiting the island for the first time. Thank you and see you next time!

Top Trip - We did a full day trip with friends (2 couples) - What a great day with Pedro and Alex. Both great guys and knowledgable. We stayed away from the crowds and went to some great spots. We had food from Akqu a local restaurant from a top chef on the island and would recommend you do this. Not someone who posts a lot so that should say it all....

Honeymoon - Alex and Manuel were beyond incredible! Happy Hour is a MUST do while in Madeira. We enjoyed their company on the boat more than anything— and that’s saying a lot from the exquisite view, delicious food, and continuous pour of wine! Alex and Manuel have hearts of gold and we truly felt so lucky to cross paths with them. Their service is above and beyond and we send them the biggest hugs. Thank you for letting us experience this with you! Happy Hour is a MUST do and this duo is worth requesting.

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!
