Funchal · JEEP & 4X4 SAFARIS

“Our driver quickly and efficiently took us around the island, providing useful and humorous commentary all the while. We saw lots of the different climates of Madeira - misty forests, mountains above the clouds, and some beaches too. Most of the stops were pretty short - around 5 minutes - enough time to walk around a bit and snap some photos, but we got more time to explore at the more interesting places (Porto Moniz and Seixal)”

“If you’re unsure about which tour to choose out of all the many tours on this app, go with this one. Our guide was very friendly, super knowledgeable, and took us on some roads only locals would know. He showed us the most amazing spots and view points one would often see in their dreams or movies. I highly recommend this tour as it will change your mind about wanting to explore or drive on your own.”
Full-day 4x4 jeep safari from Funchal across Madeira’s east, with Pico do Arieiro views, levada walk, Santana lunch stop, and rum tasting.
“Ernesto was an amazing tour guide and great driver. Didn't feel rushed or stressed. This tour has a levada walk that will take approximately 45min and you need to pay 3 euros. The guide suggested a lovely restaurant to eat and it was great. Only downside for me is the jeep itself, not very comfortable, bear in mind the roof will remain opened the entire time, so if you seat in the back get ready for sun and lots of wind...having the rooftop opened also meant a lot of noise from the road and tunnels.”

He also was an excellent driver. Extremely cautious and always looking out for the group. We enjoyed everything about this tour and would highly recommend Diogo Pinto and the tour itself. The wine tasting was also excellent.”
