East Private Jeep Tour Experience

7 hoursFree Cancellation

This experience is built around the journey rather than a strict timetable. We never rush guests from one stop to the next. Instead, you’ll have time to walk through Fanal Forest, swim, take photographs, enjoy lunch, and fully experience each location without constantly watching the clock. Travel in a small group and discover Fanal Forest, Ribeira da Janela, Achadas da Cruz, Porto Moniz, Seixal, and São Vicente. Along the way, we share stories about Madeira’s history, traditions, culture, and everyday life. We’ll also show you several lesser-known waterfalls that most visitors pass without noticing. The itinerary is adapted to the weather, sea conditions, and the group’s preferences, so some days may naturally extend beyond 10 hours. Personal attention, a light snack in Fanal, carefully selected local lunch recommendations, and photos taken with a professional camera make the experience feel more like exploring Madeira with friends than following a standard bus tour.

What are people saying about Madeira

David_B, Oct 2026

West end tour and pools of Porto Moniz

Our guide Filipe was great. Exceptional knowledge of all the sights and excellent driving skills on the challenging roads. Sufficient time at the major sights to get around and take photos. Bring your bathing suit, towel and jacket for the cooler air at altitude.

Madeira Dolphin and Whale Watching on a Ecological Catamaran

Charles_M, Oct 2026

Enjoyable Afternoon!

If you are disabled or difficulty walking they escort you on to the catamaran first, much appreciated. The crew were friendly and helpful. The boat wasn’t overcrowded and was clean. We saw pilot whales and bottle nose dolphins. The captain positioned the catamaran so the right and left side so all had good viewing opportunities. Various points of interest on the island were identified. There was an opportunity for people to have a swim. An enjoyable afternoon!

A wonderful evening!

Book it! Long line of hikers waiting for taxis after hike.

Our driver was on time, professional and provided clear directions at dropoff for entrance to hike, and pointed out the area to watch sunrise prior to hike. He was on time for pick up, and provided history about the island on our return to Funchal. There was a line of people waiting for a taxi in parking lot after hike. Its worth it to guarantee a quick return trip after the 5.7 mile hike!

VipDolphins Luxury Whale Watching

Dawn_S, Oct 2026

Definitely recommend!!!

We had such a fantastic time! The crew was wonderful—fun, funny, kind, and so accommodating. The boat never felt crowded, which made the whole experience feel relaxed and special. We saw both dolphins and whales, and even got to swim off the back of the boat! The drinks were great, and while the food was fairly simple, it was good and there was plenty to enjoy. We had a little rain along the way, but it didn’t dampen the experience at all. Between the wildlife, swimming, beautiful views, great crew, and laid-back atmosphere, it was such a memorable afternoon. We would absolutely recommend this trip!

Not for the faint hearted as there are places where the drop is huge and you are not far from that drop, but you soon get used to it and then the experience, views and overall challenge of this hike becomes very, very rewarding. I loved every minute and believe everyone who comes to Madeira should experience this hike.

A wonderful experience

Today has been a wonderful day.

Food, wine and culture are all shared with warmth and enthusiasm. We enjoyed every minute. Thank you !

Madeira 4x4 Jeep Safari : Porto Moniz, Lava Pools & Fanal Forest

Leo_O, Sept 2026

The only way to see Maderia.

The only way to see the island, a small independent company operated by two great local guys. Fábio an absolute gentleman took care of us on this superb adventure across Madeira. The sites, the hills, the views the adventure off road was just superb. A full day trip that was just a pleasure. Every stop is around 20 minutes from each so it feels easy and the shortcuts the 4X4 takes themselves are entertainment.
