Discover Madeira in an exclusive 4x4 off-road vehicle. Begin your journey at Terreiro da Luta, where you'll be treated to historical insights and panoramic views over Funchal. From there, venture higher into Funchal's Nature Reserve. Here, you can observe the Levada do Murray (1784) and visit a complimentary museum dedicated to Madeira's diverse flora and fauna.

Next on your itinerary is Pico do Arieiro, standing tall at 1,800 m. This location offers awe-inspiring volcanic landscapes for you to admire. You'll have ample time to explore this area before continuing your journey.

As you descend, make a brief stop at the Levada da Serra do Faial. Your adventure concludes in Camacha, where you can meander around the main square and visit the historic site where football was first played in Portugal.

This tour provides a distinctive route, trustworthy information, and a completely private experience.

Our guide Ross was fantastic, very friendly and put us at ease straight away. It was like a day out with a friend. If you are thinking of taking this trip we would definitely recommend. No faults.. Thank you Ross

Guide arrived on time very knowledgeable

Must-do tour to get a first impression of Madeira and visit some amazing places you would never find by yourself. Ross is a great guide and answers all questions you might have about Madeira during the drives and walkes but also gives you private time at the scenic places to enjoy those moments with your partner.

Es war eine schöne Tour. Ross war ein super Guide, der uns mit vielen Infos versorgt hat. Fahrzeug fasst max. 3 Leute, war sehr bequem. Tour ist auch für nicht ganz so fitte Menschen geeignet. Bei der kurzen Levadawanderung gibt es zwar ein paar Stufen, die aber sehr gut zu schaffen sind. Ross hat uns nach der Tour auf unseren Wunsch in Funchal abgesetzt und uns dort noch mit weiteren Tipps versorgt. Wir buchen nächstes Jahr wieder bei ihm. Können wir bestens empfehlen. Danke für die tolle Tour

Excellent value for money . Ross was very knowledgeable about the islands history and took us to some amazing places giving us detailed information on the history of each place and the island as a whole . There was a storm while up in mountains so it was impossible to see some of the amazing views so Ross took on a tour around Funchal which was much appreciated and very informative . I would recommend this tour as it is value for money and a great way to learn the history of the island , thanks
