Private sightseeing tour with hikes - Ricardo took us on a private North and North-East tour which included lots of stunning viewpoints, a stop at Pico do Ariero , the Verada dos Balcoes levada walk, Santana and a guided hike to Pico Ruivo from Teixeira.
We were very lucky with the weather and had a wonderful time. We walked above the clouds at Pico Ruivo which was truly amazing.
We highly recommend this tour company. Ricardo made the tour really special. He has so much local knowledge and was able to tell us lots of interesting facts about the island. The off-road experience was awesome but we still felt completely safe at all times.

Go even if it is rainy. - The day started out rainy, so we didn't get to see all of the overlooks, but go anyway! Later in the day we saw beautiful waterfalls and scenery.

Amazing - not to be missed - An excellent way to see the island. Our guide Ricardo was so informative and we visited pathways which I'm sure not even the locals will be aware of! An experience not to be missed.

Best Jeep Experience Ever - We didn't hire a car, so booked 2 Jeep Tours, this being one and were so glad we did. Our driver/guide, Miguel was hilarious we laughed from beginning to end. He was super helpful and informative but also gave us the ride of our lives standing up in the back of the jeep whilst climbing on twisty-turny off road sections, not for the light hearted to be sure, but fantastic fun if you're up for it.

Amazing tour! 5 stars! - If you are researching which jeep tour to take to explore Madeira, look no further! This company are excellent and will not disappoint.
We had a fantastic day with a brilliant local guide, João. We were picked up on time, the vehicle was clean and comfortable, and we felt safe on the tour. Our guide João was professional, friendly and super knowledgeable about the island and it's history, plants and animals.
The tour was well planned and relaxed. We saw lots of beautiful views and we really enjoyed the experience! We wanted to do a second tour with this company after enjoying the first one so much but they were fully booked for the rest of our stay! Definitely next time!

A Wonderful Experience - We thoroughly enjoyed this jeep tour of East and NE Madeira. Our guide, Ricardo, was very knowledgeable about all the places he took us. He was attentive to engaging with all members of our group and kept us safe on the many steep and windy roads this island is known for. We never felt rushed at any of the stops, which made for a fun and relaxed time. We especially enjoyed the levada walk and the ride through the laurasilva forest. Though we didn’t get to see Ponta Ariera at sunrise, the views were still amazing. One thing I would heed warning on to anyone prone to motion sickness, the off-roading can be a bit bumpy. Fortunately, none of our group had issues. Definitely make this trip a part of your Madeira experience!
