Ride an open-roof 4x4 from Funchal to Pico do Arieiro, Santa Serra, and Cristo Rei for mountain views, forests, and local insight.

“We were very lucky with this tour, as we were the only two on this particular trip. Our driver Lorenzo was very friendly and knowledgable, he knew so much about the island we hadn't read or heard anywhere else. The Valley of the Nuns was absolutely amazing, we can definitely recommend the chestnuts! We were very lucky with the weather going up to Pico de Arieiro, as we came above the clouds in to the sunshine. The views are spectacular and Lorenzo gave us lots of time to wander around and enjoy the views. We also visited Santa Serra to see the park, went off road for a quick explore…”

Review of Madeira’s Garajau kayak and snorkeling tour, with fish, coastal views, guide tips, pricing, sea conditions, and practical advice.

“The trip and the instructor were brilliant, so too was the Snorkelling where we saw a variety of fish. The tour provided us with everything we needed. The only difficulty we had was the kayaking. On the return trip from the Snorkelling, the waters were choppy, meaning it was a mission to get back to base.”
