West Madeira jeep safari from Funchal with off-road stops at Cabo Girão, Fanal, Porto Moniz pools, Seixal, and Veu da Noiva.

“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.”

The views were splendid and plenty of time to meander around. Thanks for everything”

“My girlfriend and I had an incredible tour of the western part of Madeira with Miguel. We were lucky enough to be the only guests, which turned the day into a fantastic private experience. Miguel is not just a knowledgeable guide but also a great person to talk to. We chatted about everything – from the island's history to general life topics – making the time between stops fly by. He was incredibly flexible, offering us alternative stops based on our interests and giving us plenty of time at every location without rushing. Plus, his insider tips for other activities on the island were super helpful. If you want a…”

“This was an exceptional experience- Paulo our guide was friendly, very informative, very patient and helpful, and we felt like a family. On the off-road section through the trees we even rescued a Lithuanian couple who were struggling through the terrain after their levada walk and deposited them safely at a nearby town. The Nuns Valley was stunning. The chestnut liqueur cake and honey are an absolute must! The views from Pico do Ariero were stunning with brilliant sunshine and swirling clouds. Paulo went well beyond our expectations- it was an exciting adventurous and educational experience. Highly recommended.”
