Itinerary
We start with a visit to Cabo girão skywalker (580 meters) above the sea level with an amazing view over the sea and over fajã do Cabo girão, this is the best place to take pictures feeling like flying over the cliff, the best way to never forget your holidays or that you are afraid of heights. The travel time from Ponta do Sol toCabo Girao is approximately 20 minutes
Stoping in Véu da Noiva viewpoint at around, you will see more about the old roads and look at the Véu da Noiva waterfall, as well as, perhaps have a short coffee break in the souvenir shop. (a good stop to bring something sweet and memorable to family or friends). The travel time from São VIcente to Véu da Noiva is approximately 20 minutes
You will have the pleasure to visit the beach of Seixal (a very small village with around 580 people living) for many people this beach will remind of Hawai due to the natural black sand, in result of erosion of the basalt rock and because of the incredible green mountain view along the coast. The travel time from São Vicente to Véu da Noiva is approximately 30 minutes
Two hours stop in Porto Moniz (a fisherman villlage) specialized in the past on the hunt of whales. In this stop guests will freely manage their time in between swimming on the volcanic pools and lunch. The travel time from Seixal to Porto Moniz is approximately 20 minutes.
Break time contemplate and relax on the most beautiful landscape in the whole island. A mystical forest protected by UNESCO and world heritage since 1998. In this forest we will see trees older than six centuries, the very well known stink laurel tree, endemic of Madeira. The travel time from Porto Moniz to Fanal Forest is approximately 30 minutes.
Down the mountains towards the sea. Finishing the tour having a sun bath on the bay of ponta do sol, a good chance to drink Poncha or a Nikita, the most sunny city in Madeira.

Amazing experience today with César, picked up and drop off at the door of our hotel, kept the tour fun and interactive throughout, offering suggestions during stop offs but was not kept to a strict plan. Had the best seafood we’ve probably ever eaten as recommended by César. Would recommend this company 100%. Thankyou for a brilliant day!
The forest and swimming pools were great, the other sites were nothing extraordinary! Our guide, Francisco was excellent! Super friendly and knowledgeable!
Wonderful full-day North Coast tour. Francisco was an excellent guide and made it a memorable day for our group of 8. During our 8 hours, we got to see many different aspects of this beautiful island. I highly recommend The Big Adventure Madeira.
Amazing trip worth the money , loads of memories made ,Very nice and funny guide Renato was helpful whole time and absolutely amazing.I 10/10 recommend this
This was the highlight of my trip to Madeira. Our guide Bernardo was great and made the tour very enjoyable. All of the stops we made were great & the off-roading in the jeep was a welcome surprise! Would highly recommend The Big Adventure Madeira.
We had a fantastic day on the Big Adventures 4x4 tour around Madeira. Our guide, Thomas, was excellent—friendly, knowledgeable, and made the whole experience enjoyable from start to finish. The open top 4x4 was a great way to see the island, and the off-road sections were a real highlight. Being able to stand up in the vehicle gave us some amazing views and made the journey even more exciting. It was also really convenient to be picked up from and dropped off at our hotel, making the whole experience completely hassle-free. If you’re visiting Madeira and want to see some incredible scenery while having a bit of adventure, we’d highly recommend this tour. Thank you Tomas for a brilliant day.
We had a fantatic tour, very beautifull view points and also the off road track was very nice. Bernardo is a great guide and knows very much about Madeira. I absolutely recommend this magnificent excursion!
Bernardo was charming and knowledgeable and the perfect guide for our day out, he was fun and engaging and seemed to genuinely enjoy sharing his love of the island. We would highly recommend doing this tour. It really is a full day and there are many amazing things to see. He was a great driver, some of the roads were very narrow and steep but we never felt unsafe in the jeep. I love that they pick you up at your accommodation and drop you back at the end. The best experience for someone to Madeira to see the beautiful varied landscapes. If I did it again, while the restaurant stop in Porto Moniz was good, I would skip the lunch option and head straight to the natural pools (cafe on site). One of our party had to cancel the tour(well within the permitted cancellation window) and it took a phone call, several emails and texts to receive a refund (which we eventually did). Just a minor niggle and overall would recommend this tour without hesitation.
This is a must do day trip if visiting Madeira!! It was simply amazing. Price is good for what you get to see and do. We did the full day trip and left our hotel at 9.30am and arrived back at 5.30pm. Our good guide Francesco was absolutely brilliant, funny, knowledgeable, accommodating, and reserved a table for the whole Jeep at lunch. We had a good mix of people in our Jeep and everyone got on really well. Would 100% recommend. I would advise taking a jacket as it does get cool at certain stops and make sure you comfortable practical footwear as the terrain at the forest stop is very uneven and dusty.
Highly recommend this if you want a taste of what the beautiful island of Madeira has to offer. Paulo was our guide, super friendly and informative!
We had a great day out, with an enthusiastic and knowledgable guide- Renato. We saw many incredible locations and were kept very entertained by our host all day-highly recommended!
This is the best day out ever. It’s a wonderful tour of the island with lots of fun and adventure. We especially enjoyed the natural swimming pools and the mystical forest but everything was amazing. We got lots of sunshine too. Our guide Renato was brilliant. He was very helpful, kind, friendly and approachable. I highly recommend this day trip if you love fun, adventure and want a whistles stop tour of the island with others
It was fabulous and great experience, Paulo was very knowledgeable and took us through some crazy adventurous routes around Madiera. 100% recommended
Travelling solo, I got on this trip guided by Paulo to see the interior of Madeira. It was really fun to meet a new group and have a fun day out. He gave us information about what we were seeing out on the trails, and have us ample time to stop and explore the north and west spots. Expert driving in seemingly impossible terrain, the 4x4 made light work of it and was really exhilarating to stand up and see the beautiful landscape you'd just not see otherwise! Safety was paramount and I could tell he was well attuned to the group ☀️🌴 I'd probably skip the first viewpoint stop as there are so many free and less crowded view points across the island you'll likely see, especially if hiking or driving. There are views on abundance. Paulo was fun to be with and very knowledgeable about the culture and natural history of Madeira. He gave me tips on what to see during my stay. Even if travelling alone, this will be a highlight of your trip. Don't miss this one while here! 💚
It was a great day! You should book this tour and see a lot of different sides of Madeira. Driving in the jeep was exiting and Paulo told a lot of nice information, we had a lot of fun!
Paulo was a fabulous guide; full of facts and very funny. Great scenery and the off-road part was bonkers! The best day out you will have in Madeira
The places we visited and our guide Paulo who was super knowledgeable,friendly, funny and with great recommendations.
What an experience! Paulo is the absolute best guide! So friendly, kind and informative. The tour was amazing. From easy booking, pick up and the entire day was just safe and perfect. I can’t wait to bring the rest of my family!
What an incredible day! We started out as strangers and felt like family by the end of the tour. Paulo, our guide, was exceptionally kind and radiated a warm, welcoming energy that made everyone feel comfortable. We had a wonderful time visiting many of the island’s must-see spots, each place offering a beauty of its own. Along the way, Paulo shared fascinating and useful insights that gave us a deeper appreciation for the island. I captured some truly stunning photos, but it’s the memories from this special day that I’ll treasure most. Paulo went above and beyond by recommending other great places to explore during our stay. He was an excellent communicator, professional driver, thoughtful host, and brought humor and sincerity to every moment. It was a joy to spend the day with someone so genuine, while seeing so many amazing and beautiful things. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting the island. Five bright stars!
We had a short stay in Madeira, but this excursion allowed us to experience so much in just one day. Paulo was the best tour guide! He made it feel like a trip amongst friends. He is very knowledgeable about the history of Madeira and included interesting things to know, great recommendations for food, drinks and photo locations. You can tell how much he enjoys sharing Madeira and its beauty with us.
So much fun and had a great time with our group and Renato our jeep guide Took us everywhere - saw so many beautiful places, no worries about driving or parking and booked us the best restaurant with delicious fresh local fish 100%recommend
A wonderful experience! Our tour guide Paolo was absolutely amazing. He made the tour a learning and adventurous experience. He was funny, knowledgeable and respectful. He also had really good recommendations for stuff to do on the island. Definitely recommend to anyone thinking of booking a jeep tour in Madeira.
From adults, to teens and young kids all had a great time. Ricardo and Pedro were amazing. I would highly recommend especially going off road was a thrilling experience
Amazing day out with Pedro. Friendly driver and fun! Had the chance to go out the open top jeep with my friends. Pedro made a suggestion to try Nikita & help us make a restaurant reservation too. Thanks for everything, thoroughly enjoyed it all
Absolutely fantastic day out, Palo our tour guide was excellent and knowledgeable about the island. Would highly recommend it. Excellent value for money too. From Julie, Steve, Douglas, Crissa, Karen and Terry.
This was honestly the best thing me and my friend did in madeira, we were so exited for it and it didn’t disappoint. We had Ricardo driving us around and his energy really just made the experience even better, everyone was so lovely and we really got to experience everything madeira had to offer, you will not regret it!!!
Great impressions and interesting additional information about the country and its people from our driver/guide David. My favorite were the mystical trees in Fanal. Many thanks for this great tour off the beaten path!!
All the planning was detailed and planned to what we wanted most, since we were just a couple. The guide was super attentive throughout the entire trip and we will certainly come back to visit other parts of the island. I highly recommend, WE LOVED IT
A very, very recommendable experience. We booked a private tour with my whole family and the wonderful Paulo showed us Madeira in the little time we had. It was incredible!! We fondly remember the experience <3
Great day I spent on this tour! The Renato (Guide), very well disposed and communicative! I already know Madeira relatively well but I had never known this way! Totally recommended!❤️
I'm fine. Anytime gladly again with Renato and this provider. We had a great time together. The Jeep is fun!
What a great excursion this is an experience to remember. A nice way to see a lot of the island in one day. Our guide Pablo knows a lot about the island and will take you to the most beautiful places. On the off-road spots you can stand in the jeep and drive through nature in that way.
