Madeira Vacation Packages and Tours

Camara de Lobos, Funchal, Madeira

Overview

Take a trip to Madeira on your Portugal Vacation

The Madeira archipelago is a Portuguese treasure consisting of two main islands: Madeira and Porto Santo, each with unique natural beauty and a year-round springtime climate, nestled in the midst of the Atlantic Ocean. 

Begin your Portugal vacation in Funchal, a capital city with five centuries of history, showcasing world-class restaurants, luxurious hotels, and a vibrant nightlife scene. Funchal is celebrated as one of the safest and cleanest cities in Europe, set against the dramatic backdrop of mountains, banana plantations, and exotic gardens open for you to discover. 

Explore the Gothic Cathedral and former Bishop's Palace housing the Museum of Sacred Art in Funchal's historic city centre before indulging in delicious exotic fruits and local treats like Bolo de Mel at the lively farmers' market. Get glimpses of the city's artistry and viticulture heritage at the Sao Tiago Fort, now the Museum of Contemporary Art, and the Embroidery and Wine Museums. 

Head to the tranquil Island of Porto Santo, accessible via a ferry from Madeira, for a relaxing change of pace, boasting breathtaking landscapes, pristine beaches, and opportunities for whale watching and swimming with dolphins. The capital, Vila Baleira, invites you to discover the palm-lined streets, artisanal crafts, and a wide range of activities, including thalassotherapy treatments and scenic hikes up Pico do Facho and Pico do Castelo. 

Madeira is home to three excellent golf courses on the two islands, including the Palheiro Golf and Santo da Serra Golf Club in Madeira, as well as Porto Santo Golf, offering memorable rounds in a golfer’s paradise.

Goway helped plan our two week trip to Peru and they (Virginia in particular) did a great job. The on-site logistics with Condor Travel went very smoothly, and the trip exceeded our expectations overall. They proactively suggested changes to our initial itinerary which were welcomed. I would recommend them and would work with them again in the future.Kate O'Neill

I recently went on an African Safari with my brother-in-law and sister and another couple who I knew. The entire experience was absolutely unbelievable. The complete details were flawlessly coordinated from the transfers to the breathtaking lodges. Our guides Peter showed us Kenya and Maulid Tanzania were very knowledgeable and very sharp eyes for finding the animals. We were able to see the animals up close, learn a lot about the people, birds , vegetation etc. We had several sundowners in the bush really added to a magical experience with beautiful sunsets. I would highly recommend Goway to all my friends, they will not be disappointed. Thank you to Bijal for the excellent African Safari that you put together for us. You were wonderful.Nancy Hay

Kimberly Brown from Goway Travel made my trip to Australia & New Zealand a very memorable and remarkable experience. Every step and detail was fantastic and I will never forget the trip of a lifetime and it was because of the experience of Kimberly. If you are thinking about taking a trip to New Zealand and Australia, I highly recommend contacting Kimberly from Goway travel. David Klein

We had a blast and felt covered by GoAway throughout. This was our first time using a travel agent and Melissa and her team made it easy. I also appreciated the quick communication while on our trip. I only wish that we got our official itinerary and tickets sooner as we did not receive them until a week prior. But it is busy season so I understand. Courtney McCarthy
