This adventure begins with a steep climb to the Largo do Miranda viewpoint, from where, during a brief stop, you can see the entire city of Funchal. We continue our expedition along a road lined with exotic forest, where acacias and eucalyptus trees predominate. At a certain point in our adventure, we suggest a short walk of about 2 km, along an irrigation canal: the levada of Serra do Faial. This levada, built at the beginning of the 20th century, was for much of that century the main water supply route for the southeast coast of the island and is today one of the most accessible levadas. The adventure continues aboard our Land Rover along a winding road that crosses the rural landscape, between the villages of Camacha and Santo da Serra. At a certain point, the mechanical capabilities of the vehicle, as well as the knowledge and experience of your guide, will be put to the test. Returning we pass through Machico, the place where the Portuguese first set foot some 600 years ago.

My wife and I were on this tour today, we have been on many Jeep tours around Europe, this was by far the best. Our guide Miguel was very good, knowledgeable and funny. We saw more on this half day tour than we've seen on many full day tours.
Every time I visit Madeira, I go on a different tour with this company, and they never disappoint. Deano our driver was great. Superb driving skills, very knowledgeable, and he looked after us well. The off road section was fab. Highly recommended.
This was a great trip. We saw loads. Stunning views, a 30 minute walk along the levada through the forest, the off road landrover tour was great fun. Our driver, Jose was very knowledgeable, chatty and a great guide.
I went on a full day jeep safari of the east side with my family. We got to se fantastic views and learnt a lot about the island from our driver/guide Antonio. I would highly recommend!
We had a fabulous day out with Victor. We were a full Land Rover, 2 Portuguese, 4 British and 2 Chinese, and we just had a ball. Victor showed off the island perfectly. He was informative, fun, and very considerate. Our 2 elder members did not do the 2 walks, and those that did thoroughly enjoyed them 30 mins each and very easy. The lunch was OK, but very good value and in a lovely setting. Despite ages ranging from 80s to 20s, and 50% being English 2nd language speakers, everyone enjoyed it. Thanks so much!!
Hello, thank you for the feedback we will pass the word to Victor. Thank you and see you soon in sunny Madeira
I recommend! Great morning with Ricardo!! Beautiful landscape and advice! We haven't seen the past time!
Merci beaucoup pour votre avis, on passerai la messsage a Ricardo. merci a bientôt
What an amazing adventure, loved the Jeep ride and the Levada walk was beautiful, Jon our host was a brilliant guy, so knowledgeable and funny, I would tell everyone to do this, it’s such fun. 😁
Hello, Thank you for your feedback. I will pass the word to Joao. See you soon in Madeira, and thanks for your choice.
We did a fantastic tour to the South East of Madeira. Our tour guide Victor was just amazing: he showed us parts of Madeira, we would have never been able to get to without his guidance. He showed us the typical flowers and fruits of Madeira and our children (17, 11 and 9) especially enjoyed driving off road with the jeep! We highly recommend this tour to everybody who is interested to discover the hidden gems of Madeira!!
Hello Thank you for your feedback. I shall pass the message to Vítor. See you soon in sunny Madeira.
