5.00Bernardo was charming and knowledgeable and the perfect guide for our day out, he was fun and engaging and seemed to genuinely enjoy sharing his love of the island. We would highly recommend doing this tour. It really is a full day and there are many amazing things to see. He was a great driver, some of the roads were very narrow and steep but we never felt unsafe in the jeep. I love that they pick you up at your accommodation and drop you back at the end. The best experience for someone to Madeira to see the beautiful varied landscapes. If I did it again, while the restaurant stop in Porto Moniz was good, I would skip the lunch option and head straight to the natural pools (cafe on site). One of our party had to cancel the tour(well within the permitted cancellation window) and it took a phone call, several emails and texts to receive a refund (which we eventually did). Just a minor niggle and overall would recommend this tour without hesitation.
Absolutely must do day trip!!

5.00This is a must do day trip if visiting Madeira!! It was simply amazing. Price is good for what you get to see and do. We did the full day trip and left our hotel at 9.30am and arrived back at 5.30pm. Our good guide Francesco was absolutely brilliant, funny, knowledgeable, accommodating, and reserved a table for the whole Jeep at lunch. We had a good mix of people in our Jeep and everyone got on really well. Would 100% recommend. I would advise taking a jacket as it does get cool at certain stops and make sure you comfortable practical footwear as the terrain at the forest stop is very uneven and dusty.
Great experience!

5.00This is the best day out ever. It’s a wonderful tour of the island with lots of fun and adventure. We especially enjoyed the natural swimming pools and the mystical forest but everything was amazing. We got lots of sunshine too. Our guide Renato was brilliant. He was very helpful, kind, friendly and approachable. I highly recommend this day trip if you love fun, adventure and want a whistles stop tour of the island with others
Great Fun for whole Family

5.00Travelling solo, I got on this trip guided by Paulo to see the interior of Madeira. It was really fun to meet a new group and have a fun day out. He gave us information about what we were seeing out on the trails, and have us ample time to stop and explore the north and west spots. Expert driving in seemingly impossible terrain, the 4x4 made light work of it and was really exhilarating to stand up and see the beautiful landscape you'd just not see otherwise! Safety was paramount and I could tell he was well attuned to the group ☀️🌴 I'd probably skip the first viewpoint stop as there are so many free and less crowded view points across the island you'll likely see, especially if hiking or driving. There are views on abundance. Paulo was fun to be with and very knowledgeable about the culture and natural history of Madeira. He gave me tips on what to see during my stay. Even if travelling alone, this will be a highlight of your trip. Don't miss this one while here! 💚
