Experience the rugged beauty of Madeira like never before with our exclusive private half-day 4x4 open-top safari. Designed for groups of up to 7 people, this tour offers the perfect blend of thrill and discovery, taking you off the beaten path to witness the island's most spectacular landscapes.
Your adventure begins in Caniço, where you will climb into our custom open-roof safari jeep. Feel the Atlantic breeze as we traverse narrow mountain roads and exciting off-road tracks that regular tour buses simply cannot reach. Our first major highlight is Cabo Girão, one of the highest sea cliffs in Europe, offering jaw-dropping views of the ocean below. From there, we ascend to Boca da Corrida, perched at 1,200 meters. Here, you will be rewarded with a breathtaking panoramic vista of the famous 'Nun’s Valley' and the jagged silhouette of Madeira’s highest peaks.
As we wind through the island, we pass by the lush vineyard terraces of Estreito de Câmara de Lobos and visit the charming fishing village of Câmara de Lobos—a place so picturesque that Winston Churchill himself captured its beauty on canvas. This private tour is entirely flexible, allowing you plenty of time for photography, visiting local shops, and immersing yourself in the authentic culture of Madeira. You will have the chance to meet local artisans, explore small traditional factories, and taste authentic food and beverages along the way.
Throughout the four-hour journey, you will be surrounded by a kaleidoscope of colors: from the deep greens of the ancient forests and flower-filled valleys to the endless blue of the ocean and sky. Whether you are navigating misty mountain passes or sun-drenched coastal roads, this 4x4 safari provides an intimate, comfortable, and unforgettable way to explore the 'Pearl of the Atlantic.'
This private tour includes expert driver-guide services, fuel, and the use of our premium 4x4 vehicle. Please note that meals and personal expenses are not included, giving you the freedom to choose your favorite local delicacies along the route.
Wear comfortable layers as mountain temperatures can vary, bring your camera for the stunning cliffside views, and don't forget sunscreen despite the breeze.
Choosing our private safari means total freedom. Unlike rigid bus tours, this experience is tailored to your group's pace. You get the rugged excitement of a 4x4 adventure combined with the comfort of a personalized itinerary. Whether you want to spend extra time capturing the perfect photo at a mountain viewpoint or dive deeper into local tradition at a small village shop, we make it happen. It is the ultimate way to see the authentic heart of Madeira in total privacy and style.
Yes, it is a fantastic family-friendly activity. The open-top jeep is safe and provides an exciting perspective for children to see the island's nature.
We recommend bringing a camera, comfortable walking shoes, a light jacket for the higher altitudes, and some cash if you wish to purchase local snacks or souvenirs.
