About Madeira Escape

Madeira Escape is an independent travel resource dedicated to helping you discover the archipelago of Madeira, from the levada walks and the Pico do Arieiro sunrise to Funchal's old town, Porto Santo's beach, and the day trips across the island that make sense from Funchal.

What we do

We create in-depth, regularly updated travel guides covering Madeira and its surroundings, day trips to Porto Santo, the levada network and the high mountains, Funchal's old town and markets, whale and dolphin watching, and practical planning advice for both first-time and repeat visitors. Every article is researched thoroughly and written to give you genuine, useful advice — not generic filler content.

How we earn

Madeira Escape is funded through affiliate partnerships, primarily with GetYourGuide and Viator. When you book a tour or activity through one of our links, we earn a small commission at absolutely no extra cost to you. This income allows us to keep the site running, create new content, and maintain existing guides.

Our affiliate partnerships never influence our recommendations. We suggest activities and tours that we genuinely believe provide good value, regardless of commission rates.

Editorial independence

We are not sponsored by any tourism board, hotel chain, or tour operator. Our recommendations are entirely independent. If something is overpriced, overhyped, or not worth the trip, we will say so.
