Take the tour - The best tour I've even taken. Our tour guide Ricardo was full of information on Maderia, took us to places we couldn't have seen otherwise and made the day so enjoyable.

Just as wonderful as I remember - This jeep tour was amazing. I did the same tour last year and brought my daughter & her friend with me this year to experience the island in a way we wouldn’t have been able to do ourselves.
I was pleased that the stops were not exactly the same as last year, and that we had time to do a lavada walk.
Ricardo was the perfect tour guide and his knowledge of the island is extensive. To learn of the beautiful views we saw and the history of the island made the experience that much better and enjoyable.
I highly recommend this tour!

Great tour of the North/East of Madiera - Had a great time! Our guide, Joao, was knowledgable and fun. He lead us through some amazing views and showed us the natural beauty from a local that loves his island. We only had a few days on Madiera, this tour showed a lot of the highlights. Highly recommend .

Fantastic day - Had an amazing time on the east tour with guide Joao- the whole tour was a great experience from seeing incredible sights and views even though the weather wasn’t the best for us and leaning about the culture, fauna and flora of Madeira. Would definitely recommend and would like to thank Joao his enthusiasm throughout the tour!

11/10 experience - If I could give 6 stars I would.
Ricardo was very nice and was very informative about the history and present of the island.
We had some good laughs on the way and he made sure to stop at every spot that would give my camera some great shots to brag about at home.
The tour was absolutely breathtaking.
Can highly recommend.

Private sightseeing tour with hikes - Ricardo took us on a private North and North-East tour which included lots of stunning viewpoints, a stop at Pico do Ariero , the Verada dos Balcoes levada walk, Santana and a guided hike to Pico Ruivo from Teixeira.
We were very lucky with the weather and had a wonderful time. We walked above the clouds at Pico Ruivo which was truly amazing.
We highly recommend this tour company. Ricardo made the tour really special. He has so much local knowledge and was able to tell us lots of interesting facts about the island. The off-road experience was awesome but we still felt completely safe at all times.

He drove us off-road through the forrest which was SUPER FUN. We recommend this tour 100%.
