フンシャルからの半日小グループ マデイラ ビレッジ サファリ

We had the jeep all to ourselves and Miguel was an excellent guide. Never hurried us at any of the stops snd was a great help in explaining local traditions.

Had a great afternoon with our friendly driver Miguel. Went to locations with great panoramic views. Drove through villages with narrow streets, Visited the glass bridge , stopped at a traditional bar in a mountain village where we sampled the local Poncha. Also went off road for parts of the trip. I thoroughly recommend it and will do it again on my next trip to Madeira.

Our guide Pedro, picked us directly from the cruise terminal. He was early and waiting for us. He has loads of experience and was very knowledgeable having lived on the island all his live. We booked the half day tour and thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. Book with confidence. Thanks Pedro for a awesome morning!

Travelled with 2 other couples in a Safari jeep for a half day tour of mid/south part of island. Covered exactly what they were supposed to and were on time etc. The guide was very professional whilst also being very funny and helpful . Great enjoyable trip.

A fantastic half day with Michael in the Jeep; interesting, informative and lots of fun with breathtaking views. I accidentally hit my head (stupid me), Micheal administered caring first aid and rang the hotel later to ask me if I was ok; he went above and beyond! Thank you Micheal, you were a superstar!

Ernesto is perfect, very pleasant.

This is a roadtrip to the area surrounding Funchal in a jeep. You will be seated in the back of a jeep: and need to be able to climb into and out of it. The position can be uncomfortable if you have knee pain or other leg issues , definitely not good for customers with mobility issues. The road trip was a lot of fun as you travel inland thru roads, narrow streets, up steep slopes and eventually off-road thru a forest! We enjoyed our tour of Madeira! Wish there was more information with the trip, like data about the island and since when it was inhabited, etc.

We booked this excursion through Viator after carefully reviewing multiple options. The cruise line offered a very similar experience at a higher price through their own vendors, so we felt confident booking independently. The excursion organizers reached out the day prior with meeting instructions, directing us to exit the cruise port and walk toward flowerpots 52 and 54. This is an area where the experience could have been improved—clearer directions (such as exiting the terminal and turning left) would have saved time and confusion. Several participants, including us, initially walked in the wrong direction before turning around and eventually locating the meeting point. Once we arrived, the guides informed us that our assigned vehicle and driver had not yet arrived, so we waited a bit before getting started. The tour began shortly after, but the vehicle itself appeared somewhat run down, and the driver seemed to struggle with operating a manual transmission at times. One positive aspect was that our vehicle had a removable top, which other groups (who booked through the cruise line) did not have. They actually commented on how nice that feature was. However, due to rainy weather and the nature of the terrain, there was very limited opportunity to fully enjoy that benefit. The tour route included several stops: a fishing village (with time for souvenir shopping and restrooms), a nuns’ village, a cable car area, a scenic viewpoint, and a restaurant/bar stop where local poncha and wine were offered. While the stops themselves were decent, the overall experience lacked depth in terms of information. Our driver provided minimal commentary, and most of the explanations came from the lead driver, who would walk over to our group during stops. At the restaurant stop, we felt some pressure from the organizer to purchase drinks, as we were repeatedly asked if we were going to buy something. This came across as a bit pushy and detracted from the overall experience. Overall, the excursion wasn’t terrible, but it did not fully deliver on expectations—particularly the “off-road adventure” aspect, which felt less engaging than advertised. Additionally, there was a missed opportunity to provide more meaningful insight about the island throughout the tour. Given the experience, I would not choose to book this excursion again, though it may still appeal to travelers looking for a casual overview rather than a more informative or immersive tour.

Excellent trip. Gabriel our guide was brilliant. Kept up well informed and brought us to some excellent viewing spots and we also stopped in a bar ip in the hills for a local poncha which was the best we had on our entire trip. We had such a good laugh on the trip. Really a good three hours spent.

Wonderful way to spend a half day in Madeira- collected from hotel, brought to some beautiful places like the 500 metres above sea level glass floor lookout- some fun off roading too- good value go for it- our tour guide was excellent
