Take your trip off-road and experience the breathtaking landscape of the Northeast of Madeira on a 4x4 vehicle. This tour has a bit of everything, it's adventurous, interesting, full of surprises, and very scenic.

You'll admire Nuns Valley from the top viewpoint. Next, reach Pico do Arieiro, the third-highest mountain in Madeira, with a magnificent view above the clouds. After exploring the area, continue towards the north of the island descending to the village of Ribeiro Frio. After a short walk around the village, you will discover the Laurissilva Forest. The next stop is Santana, one of the most famous areas in Madeira where you can visit the traditional triangular Madeira houses and have lunch.

After lunch, head to Faial and stop at the Miradouro do Guindaste viewpoint, then proceed to the village of Porto da Cruz to visit a rum factory where you can sample some locally produced rums or the famous Poncha. Before coming back to Funchal, you'll pass by Ponta de S. Lourenço.

Our guide nuno I think his name was. 10/10 for us told us so much information about the island and gave us a tour more than we expected to even get. Well worth your money and would highly recommend to anyone who wants to see a lot of amazing views and explore the island a lot more. If I could rate this higher than 10 I would. did not disappoint at all. Don’t hesitate to book it, you will not be let down.

An excellent day out. The guide was lovely, ensuring that our trip was as comfortable and enjoyable as possible, tailoring the trip to the party. Highly recommended.

Ricardo was een fantastische gids. Heel vriendelijk, relaxed en een goede chauffeur. Hij deelde veel kennis over het eiland, de historie en de natuur. En hij nam ons mee naar veel mooie plekken en prachtige uitzichten.

The guide was great and very knowledgable and was happy to fit around what we wanted to do. Shame we didn’t get the views due to cloud but we still saw some amazing places that we wouldn’t by ourselves
