About this activity
Explore Madeira's most dramatic landscapes on a private full-day 4×4 jeep tour with open roof, choosing between the island's rugged east side (mountain peaks, traditional villages, coastal cliffs) or the wild west (Europe's highest sea cliffs, volcanic pools, ancient laurel forests). Tailored itineraries and flexible timing make this ideal for travellers seeking personalised adventure beyond typical group tours.
Join us on a private full-day open roof jeep tour and discover the stunning landscapes of the East or West side of the island. Lunch not included
East Tour: At Pico do Areeiro enjoy one of a kind views at 1818 mts high. Visit Santana with the famous thatched roof houses, a symbol of Madeira rural architecture. Step back in time at Moinho de Água, a traditional 300 years old watermill that stands as a testament to Madeira's rich agricultural heritage. Finish this unique adventure at Ponta de São Lourenço known as the dragon tail of Madeira with breathtaking views to both south and north side of the island.
West Tour: At Cabo Girão, one of the highest sea cliffs in the world, we will visit the famous suspended glass platform. Discover the western evergreen sea cliffs from the northwest side and its hidden gems. Experience the famous volcanic pools of Porto Moniz and explore Fanal, one of the 7th Natural Wonders of Portugal, a living testament of over 20 million years of natural evolution.

Insider tips
- ★Book the East tour for clearer mountain visibility; afternoon clouds often roll in by late morning at Pico do Areeiro.
- ★Bring multiple layers—mountain peaks are 15–20°C cooler than coastal areas, and wind exposure is significant.
- ★The West tour's volcanic pools are best visited between late spring and early autumn when water temperatures are warmest.
- ★Request pickup from Câmara de Lobos harbour if arriving by cruise; central hotel pickups are typically included.
Good to know
- •Lunch is not included; pack snacks or budget for meals in Santana (East) or Porto Moniz (West).
- •Open-roof jeep exposure to sun and wind—bring sunscreen, sunglasses, and a windproof jacket.
- •Terrain includes unpaved mountain tracks and some steep coastal paths; moderate fitness and sturdy walking shoes required.
- •Maximum group size typically 6 passengers; confirm exact capacity and vehicle type at booking.
- •Pickup and drop-off location varies by hotel; confirm meeting point and times 24 hours before departure.
Who it's for

Best time to visit
