One of really cool ways to experience Madeira - The ride was amazing, we drove through the beautiful and wild mountains of Madeira, and then along a bit of northern shore. The views were breathtaking, and the driver, Bruno, told us a lot about what we saw during our trip, and about Madeira. You can also ask the driver to book you a dinner in a restaurant on the way. Excellent service and experience. Try and you will not regret.

Full day jeep safari hosted by Jazz - We really enjoyed the tour hosted by Jazz. From start to finish he was smiling and courteous making sure everyone was comfortable. You get to see lovely peaks of the island where you wouldn’t be able to go in a hire car as it’s off road. Bumpy but fun. Porto Moniz is very pretty. If you fancy a dip take your swim gear. Jazz was also good at sharing his knowledge. Not easy when you’ve got a mixed group of French & English.

I recommend - A very interesting trip. The driver, Antonio, was funny and persistent in explaining despite my poor English. It was cool on the off road, with beautiful views from the mountains. I recommend

Wonderful exciting day - This was an amazing trip. Driver Eddie can certainly handle the vehicle in the most exciting way, despite deep potholes and narrow roads and I never felt concerned at any time. He was full of local knowledge and he answered all questions, with a touch of humour. Great day Eddie, thank you. Melanie and Anita

Great off road experience of the island - Eddie was a great guide throughout the day . The off road experience was amazing with opportunities for stops along the way. We were lucky with the weather today and Madeira is such a beautiful island. I would definitely do another experience with this company, but mostly thanks to Eddie

“The Amazing West” - Stunning views, excellent tour guide, fantastic day out - Ask for Severino! - What a wonderful way to explore the magical west coast of the awe inspiring island of Madeira. My partner and I booked the “Amazing West” experience via our hotel, Pestana Grand. Severino was our tour guide and driver for the day and he was the key element that made this whole trip work so well. We were picked up outside reception just before 9am. We were in a Land Rover with six other passengers, all of which were from France. They were all super friendly and very welcoming. Severino was able to easily swap between French, English and his native Portuguese to communicate with everyone fluently. He had an immensely detailed understanding of the island mixed with a sharp sense of humour. All of this together demonstrates his expertise, knowledge and passion for the job he loves and the island he comes from. The tour is a full day and takes you through all of the key highlights of the western part of the island including the Paúl de Serra plateau, Fanal’s ancient forest, Porto Moniz and the stunning (and frightening!) vista of Cabo Girão (2nd highest sea cliff in Europe). All of this mixed with an exhilarating off-road section made for a fantastic day exploring this magical island!!

A great way to get off the beaten track and see a different side of life on the island . - A fabulous trip into the mountains over rough tracks. Be prepared to be bumped and jolted! Too long in Porto Moniz unless you want to swim. Don't take the set lunch option, better to find your own. Also freezing cold driving through clouds at altitude, take warm coat and hat. Overall a very good day out seeing parts of the island you normally wouldn't get to.
