Madeira · 4X4 JEEP TOURS
The north coast, the Fanal plateau and Nuns Valley are all slow, narrow, steep driving, which is why the open-top jeep day is the island's most-booked tour by a distance. These 15 differ on route, on how much walking is folded in, and on whether you end up in an eight-seater or a full truck.

“The activity was very well organised and good fun. We drove through rough terrain, dirt and some muddy puddles too. At the end of it, we could boast that we had never gotten so dirty in our lives:)! However not to worry, the protective gear provided does its job. I highly recommend buying the scarf at €5 from their garage, to protect your nasal and mouth airway. It is an activity that I highly recommend to those seeking to experience something different in Madeira.”

“first time when we missed a part of the trip because the driver did not pick up us from the place where the people from the cruise were allowed to exist from the ship. The driver accused us that we were not where we supposed to be, and all the day after that, he was a jerk, treating us very very poorly!!! I hope the company will not hire this guy again.”
