We've found paradise. With breathtaking natural beauty and warm, sunny days year-round, it's no wonder Madeira is called the 'Pearl of the Atlantic'.
Travel solo, yet never alone

Less is more with small group sizes

More about our solo tours to Madeira
Known for its incredible landscapes - lush green mountains, dramatic cliffs, volcanic peaks, and scenic coastline - Madeira is a haven for nature lovers. Staying in the capital, Funchal, we'll uncover its rich cultural heritage - influenced by Portuguese, African, and Caribbean traditions - in Funchal's Old Town. This charming labyrinth of narrow streets boasts traditional Madeiran architecture and landmarks, like the island's main religious building, the 15th-century Sé Cathedral, one of the few buildings dating from colonial times. Spend time perusing the bustling market stalls selling fresh produce, flowers, and handicrafts during time at leisure or go in search of your favourite Madeira wine.
Funchal is also home to several beautiful botanical gardens. The Madeira Botanical Garden features a wide variety of exotic plants, colourful flowers, and tropical trees, while the Monte Palace Tropical Garden offers stunning panoramic views of Funchal and the surrounding countryside - ideal for any budding gardener.
All this and you get to travel with other like-minded solo explorers, enjoying the comfort of your own private room and exploring new, exciting places without ever feeling lonely. You'll have the opportunity to socialize with fellow travellers over welcome drinks and during excursions, and our expert Tour Manager will be available to assist you throughout the trip, ensuring everything runs smoothly.
