Best day ever! The guide was amazing, we both said this was our favourite day of the whole trip! We wish we could have gone longer. I recommend to everyone going to Madeira. It was also nice to explore the island and give our legs a rest after lots of hiking.

Exciting Off-Road Adventure Through Santana

gallod18, Oct 2025

We had an absolute blast on the SOff-Road Buggy, driving the buggy over rugged trails was exhilarating, and being in a small group made it feel like an adventure just for us. The guide provided clear, friendly instruction, making the ride feel both safe and thrilling. We explored hidden paths and scenic corners of the island that we never would have seen otherwise. Overall, it was one of the most fun, memorable experiences of our trip.

So much fun!

A very fun and well organised tour. Lots of off road trails and lots of mud! We were given a clear and professional instruction beforehand and all gear was provided. Beautiful trails and a nice guide. Would definitely recommend.

Response from Host, May 2025

Thank you so much 😃

Very good experience!...

Very good experience! Guide to the top! Take care of us! Just one negative point of the buggy we had, the fact that it ashes on its own in the descents, it’s quite annoying, it’s a lot of shaking

Adventurous off-road tour of Madeira's Natus

Tim_B, Aug 2025

This off-road tour was a real adventure and highly recommended for anyone who wants to experience Madeira from a completely different side! Away from the typical tourist routes, we went across the impressive nature of the island – through forests, over bumpy slopes and to a vantage point that you would probably never see without four-wheel drive. The tour was full of surprises – no comparison to the usual standard tours. I particularly liked how authentic and unfiltered the experience was. Our guide was not only super friendly, but also very competent and passionate about it. You could tell that he loves Madeira and likes to share his enthusiasm with others. If you fancy a buggy tour with a decent off-road feel, this is the place for you!
