What an amazing day we had with Roberto!!!! He is such a great guy, really friendly and made us feel so comfortable. He knows everything there is to know about Madeira.
Going off road through the mountains was an experience we will never forget.
When we come back again we will definitely be booking another day with him. This is something I will recommend to everyone. Fantastic, thank you Roberto!!!!!

I enjoyed it , even when it was raining. So fun to be in the mountains, breath the fresh air, the smell of the plants and trees

Roberto was simply fenomenal guiding us throughout the adventure, he was fun, patient and very clear with instructions making us feel comfortable and safe all the time. Also telling us all about the places we visited and recommendations of what to do in Madeira were very helpful. Thank you so much Roberto and of we come back to Madeira we'll definitely repeat the experience! ☺️

Sometimes you meet someone and you know you are going to enjoy spending time with them. This was our experience with our guide, Roberto! Roberto was a gracious host and tour guide as we explored parts of Madeira. We had a mixture of on-road and off-road adventures which were thrilling! We reached the top of high mountains to see amazing vistas of the land below. This was one of my favorite aspects of Madeira - the beautiful views. The off-road parts of the trip were a blast and the Razor came back brown from all the mud we were slinging! All in all, it was a day to remember. Additionally, Roberto took some GoPro videos and pictures which he later shared. Roberto also gave some advice for exploring on future days.

Roberto was the best guide! He was thoughtful, knowledgeable and planned an exceptional experience!!

i couldn’t recommend these guys more to anyone!, definitely one of the best experiences we’ve had here on this trip. Private tours also so it’s just you and the tour guide which makes it that bit more immersive.
Roberto was our tour guide and he genuinely is the most pleasant and outgoing person i have ever met!, He even went out of his way to be able to book us in to do kayaking and snorkeling another activity that these guys do!
In short words if your looking for activities to do and make unforgettable memories book with these guys!, many many thanks to roberto for making out experience unforgettable!!

Roberto, Roberto, Roberto. What a fantastic guide to have. We had such fun driving the buggy & he was a great instructor. We drove through some great offroad trails and saw great scenery. The best day ever. Just do it.

This was the most exciting and most fun adventure that we had in Madeira! You can totally see that Roberto is in the right place, and he loves what he does. Super fun and educational tour, including offroad, splashes, great views, and the best poncha.

You HAVE to try this experience! This buggy tour was hands down one of the best experiences I’ve had in Madeira! From start to finish, our guide Roberto was knowledgeable, super friendly and fun. The ride itself was an absolute blast—ripping through rugged trails, splashing through mud, and taking in the most stunning views of Madeira’s lush forests. If you’re looking for an unforgettable way to explore Madeira’s wild side, this tour is a must! I’d do it again in a heartbeat.

Roberto was a fantastic guide. We enjoyed both the natural and cultural sites and scenes. Look forward to doing it again.

Thank you 😊 see you next time

Thank you Roberto for this amazing experience with the only Polaris 1000 on the island. We had a massively good time and we will always remember my son's first driving lesson, in style, off-road. Also, thank you for your energy, all the interesting facts about Madeira and all the spectacular movies and pictures.
If you are reading this --> go book Roberto's tour!
Cheers from the tall family ;-)

Would recommend 10/10!

We had a BLAST on our buggy tour!! Roberto made it 100x better, he was so much fun. We will definitely be back.
Elisabeth_B, Apr 2024
Fun and amazing day with Roberto! We got to explore the forests of Madeira using mountain roads only accessible with an off-road vehicle. It’s definitely a bumpy ride, but Roberto is a great teacher and was always focused on safety. Overall we had a lot of fun!
KENSTEVEN_S, Apr 2024
I rarely leave reviews but I just had to with the buggy tour my girlfriend and me enjoyed with the help of Roberto!
We had a lot of fun seeing Madeira on offroad tracks driving the nimble Polaris!
Roberto made us feel right at home from the get go, giving us insider glimpses of the island and being really helpful. He entrusted us with the buggy, striking the right balance between safety instructions and ensuring a fun, dynamic driving experience. He even encouraged us to explore the capability of the awesome buggy. The photos and videos that we got later will make sure we will remember this experience with a smile!
I will not hesitate to recommend this tour to friends or family intending to visit Madeira!

Stop looking for other activities to do in Funchal and book this immediately. The tour guide Roberto who is a local joined us to drive around Funchal and we drove the Polaris off road. This STV ride is powerful , fast and just overall the best ride you can use to off road. Hats off to Roberto and well for sure do it again when we come back.
Cristina_P, Jul 2023
This is an amazing experience to have in the forests near Funchal - a lot of fun and Roberto is very attentive and knowledgeable. Definitely recommend it!
Gabriella_K, May 2023
Roberto is an excellent host and ensures your safety as well as comfort! You get to see spots only locals would see. Definite recommend!
Anne_J, Mar 2026
Great day with a lot of fun - especially with the mud puddles :-) Roberto is very sympathetic , attentive and has told us a lot of interesting facts about the island. In addition, he gave us extra tips on restaurants as well as viewpoints. We would book the tour again.

It was truly an experience. The ride was what we expected. Many sand/rock paths with potholes and water. The buggy went through like it was nothing. Roberto knew the neighborhood well and knew immediately what we wanted. We got it, too. The views of the island and driving through the clouds during the ride were breathtaking. We and Roberto were very happy after the ride. Thank you Roberto.

Die Buggy-Tour war ein mega-Erlebnis! Roberto ist ein fantastischer Guide - Wir würden diese Tour jederzeit nochmal buchen!!! Für unseren 14jährigen Sohn war es auch ein tolles Erlebnis.

Es war nicht nur eine Buggy-Tour im eigentlichen Sinn. Wir haben immer wieder angehalten, Roberto hat uns ganz viele Aussichtspunkte gezeigt und Besonderheiten der Insel erklärt. Es war wirklich toll und hat Jonas und mir sehr viel Spass gemacht! Thank you Roberto, see you again next summer, then I’ll drive too - it looks funny. All the best, Sandra
