It was amazing trip. Big thank you to Cisar - our guide. One of the best guide I've ever met! Very kind, helpful and funny person with big knowledge and... read more good English. We felt taken care of by him very very well especially our little one year old daughter. The trip was great, we saw many beautiful places, views. Even lunch on the trip was tasty. Trip full of advantages, without any disadvantages. I highly recommend it to everyone!!! ♡

  This experience was brilliant. We had initially looked around so many places and finally discovered discovery island (All the previous were booked up) But they do say everything happens for... read more a reason and we had the best time!

From booking, we received a WhatsApp message asking for our weight and shoe size for our wetsuits.
*Be aware that initially we were under the understanding that our booking was at 09:00 however this was changed to 14:30 (Apparently due to the weather although seemed same throughout the day) and we did not receive a text informing us, we became aware of this when we messaged on WhatsApp to confirm pick up time*
We were picked up and taken to the area where we were given our outfits, got into them and off we went.
The jumps had smaller options so not everyone had to go off the big rocks.
We had Martin and (We can't remember his name oops) and they were both amazing! Very knowledgable and teaching of all the sea creatures and structure of the rocks. Supportive, friendly and kind.
Snickers and water midway which is a pleasant sugar boost.
Finished with a few more jumps and a spot of snorkelling.
They even take pictures on the go pro around the coastline and email them to you for free which again is a bonus.

*Note: Having done a similar experience in UK I was aware about leaving bags in vans at the place where you park and therefore we had taken no money with us. We were gutted and frankly embarrassed that we were unable to tip the men as they were amazing - therefore ensure you take some money for this! *

  We had two 4x4 tours planned and after seeing East with Cesar we've asked for him for our West trip. He is very professional but at the same time funny.... read more You can feel his passion for Madeira and he knows how to entertain you. Also the best driver I have met.
When we will be back on Madeira it will be for the views, poncha and Cesar:-)

  Second time doing canyoning, but this time with Alex and Sandro was much better. We did the second level - moderate and we had more waterfalls. Also, the guys took... read more care of us and we had plenty of fun.

  We did 3 activities during the week we were in Madère, and they were the best without doubt!
We did coasteering with Louis and it was super fun. We had... read more the proper equipment to enjoy completely the activity, all the jumps had an alternative way for not so brave people, and you felt safe all the time. They take care of choosing the good moment to do the activity; we were supposed to do it during the morning but it was moved to the afternoon for a calmer ocean. It was a lot of fun!

We did also cannoying with Sandro and Filippe and it was also such a great experience. It was my first time doing this activity and I got a bit scared... both guides handled the situation very well and I did enjoy a lot the activity and went back to the hotel super happy. Also, the chocolate you receive at the end is such a good day ! fantastic practice !! Incredible quality of the shoes and equipment. Thank you very much again guys.

We did a mountain biking tour, also first time I did this kind of activity. Fabrizzio was very kind and attentive to us. It was a bit difficult for me to follow but they had a lot of patience and I was able to finish the trail. Thanks also to our driver who took care of me in the last part ! 🙂 Bike was in perfect condition and good quality.

We didn't get photos for the mountain bike tour, but yes for the two others, which is also such a nice detail.

I think it's clear I totally recommend to enjoy your time in Madeira with this company !

  Brilliant tour headed by Leuis who picked us up for the half day island tour at 0830 hours from our hotel. He was very chatty and helpful throughout, telling us... read more many anecdotes and interesting facts about the places we visited. Highly recommend this tour, a fantastic experience.

  My boyfriend and I went on a jeep tour with an amazing guide, Vasco, and it was a wonderful experience.
Not only the view was extraordinary, because that’s Madeira, but... read more every detail that Vasco shared with us about the places that we visited, about how people live here and the history of this island.
We had the best Poncha ever!
We will never forget that day, and we will never forget Vasco!
Thank you, Vasco!
And thank you, Discovery Island Madeira for this amazing experience!

  It was the best trip here in Madeira and definitely unique! The guides (Filipe and Beto) were very funny and carefully so we always felt safe! You could always decide... read more if you want to jump or not.

  Probably you have been always told not to climb on the cliff or jump into the water because it could be shallow. Now is your time! What a nice experience!... read more We did all the nice things on the coast that were either forbidden when younger or thought to be too old for by now.

  I have visited Madeira numerous times, and done canyoning and coasterring with discovery island which were brilliant and I couldn't fault it. So this year I decided to go kayaking... read more with my son. Different experience as the we were put with another company Madeira Sea Emotions. The instructor did not introduce himself or bother to know our names. The info during the trip was limited, we had a rough beach landing where I injured my shin and then the staff disappeared and left us to work out which boat to catch back to the Marina. I've tried to complain to Discovery Island about this but they have failed to respond. Won't be using them again!
