Madeira Mountain Expeditions
Description
Experience the true spirit of eastern Madeira on a unique combination of Jeep safari and Levada walk. Start at Pico do Arieiro (1818m) for breathtaking mountain views, then venture off-road through the mountains of Faial, surrounded by Madeira’s rich biodiversity.
Discover Santana and its traditional thatched-roof houses, some over 250 years old, before enjoying a scenic Levada walk through local agricultural landscapes. Meet local farmers, discover traditional crops and enjoy panoramic views over Porto da Cruz, the North Coast and Penha d’Águia.
In Porto da Cruz, visit a traditional rum distillery and learn about Madeira’s famous rum-making heritage. Finish at Ponta de São Lourenço, the island’s driest and windiest region, with spectacular views of both coasts.
A memorable journey connecting nature, culture, local traditions and sustainable travel.

Madeira island overview
It was a great drive across the islands seeing the impressive internal mountain range with dramatic clouds. This contrasted with the rest of the trip around some beautiful coastline and even a small Levada walk. The trip was finished with a short tour/tasting session at a Rum factory. Our driver Eddie was great and knew the roads/off roads well with an impressive knowledge of the island. I would recommend this trip to get a ‘taste’ of the island.

Well paced, enjoyable day...
Well paced, enjoyable day exploring the north side of the island. Our guide was very knowledgeable and had an impressive range of languages (moving between Portuguese, English and German seamlessly throughout our trip to keep everyone included). Off roading in the jeep was fun and exhilarating but always felt very safe!

Excellent small group tour
Excellent trip unlike a lot of jeep trips we were 1 jeep. Leonardo was extremely knowledgeable about everything, and was entertaining with silly jokes. The trip took us to the top of pico do areeiro where we given time to wander. The Levada walk was well organised and although unaccompanied Leonardo made sure we didn't get lost. Lunch in Santana was not included which gave us a choice of where and what to eat with Leonardo giving advice. The off road bit was good fun. Would recommend mountain expeditions

Celso was a great driver and a great tour guide, very enjoyable way to explore the East
Our second tour with the same company, also did the West off-road tour the day before. Both quite different and equally enjoyable, thanks again. The drivers are excellent drivers and very knowledgeable locals, really recommend the old road version for the best experience.

Wonderful Jeep Tour
We had a wonderful Jeep Tour with Antonio, who was a great guide and driver. We enjoyed the beautiful nature and learned a lot about Madeira. The Levada walk was really nice, especially the little Madeira birds at the viewpoint. Also the visit to the rum distillery was quite interesting. All in all, it was a great experience. Muito obrigado!

Beautiful and humorous
Dear Antonio showed us the east side of the island today. He knew a lot about the special places and we were able to bring our own suggestions. He was also an excellent driver and especially mastered the off-road tracks superbly. We'll be back!

Breathtaking trip
Dino was amazing, entertaining and informative. He took a lot of trouble to show us so many points of interest and plants and fruits typical of the island. The drive was very exciting - not for the faint-hearted, but Dino knows every inch of the route like the back of his hand! We were shrouded in the clouds at the highest peak, but despite this, there were other breathtaking views and the whole day trip was really worth it.
