No, but we will need a few drivers for this adventure, if you are comfortable with driving you will get an extra 50 euros discount for driving!

Drivers under 23 years old or with less than 1 year of license must leave a €600 refundable deposit.

Madeira flights are especially vulnerable to wind-related cancellations or diversions, so delays are not uncommon. We recommend TAP Air Portugal over most airlines, as they are the most experienced carrier flying into the island, but choose the best option for your budget. Booking early will help you save.

To reduce travel stress: Book an early-morning flight arrival for Day 1 to allow buffer time in case of delays. For your return, choose an afternoon or evening departure to make up for any lost time.
