4x4 Scenic Madeira

Funchal, Madeira

4x4 Scenic Madeira
  • Activity Experience
  • Refreshments included

by 4x4 vehicle & on foot

On this experience you will see a different side of Madeira. Meeting your driver/guide and 4x4 vehicle at the port, your small group will set off on an island adventure.

This experience takes you on and off roads to explore the secret places of Madeira, such as hidden valleys and mountains which can only be visited in suitable 4x4 vehicles.

This is the ideal way to discover the untouched natural beauty of an island which has magnificent sights to offer, spectacular views, vegetation, mountains, valleys and some small water courses with volcanic origin. It is also an excellent opportunity to observe the unique native lush green flora of the island and appreciate the tough terrain the locals have to navigate on a daily basis.
Following your off-road adventure, you make a stop at a local bar for a taste of ‘Poncha’. This is the most traditional drink of Madeira, made with sugar cane brandy, local honey, and lemon juice and is full of vitamin C.

This is a great way to experience hidden Madeira. All you need to bring is a spirit of adventure and a desire to have fun, laugh and have the time of your life.
