        Amazing
        Absolutely fantastic day. Views were amazing. Trip had a lot of interesting stops. Ricardo was a great tour guide. With sense of humor and a lot of interesting facts about Madeira he made the day great. I can honestly recommend the tour and I would like to experience it again.

        Breathtaking trip
        Dino was amazing, entertaining and informative. He took a lot of trouble to show us so many points of interest and plants and fruits typical of the island. The drive was very exciting - not for the faint-hearted, but Dino knows every inch of the route like the back of his hand! We were shrouded in the clouds at the highest peak, but despite this, there were other breathtaking views and the whole day trip was really worth it.

        Seriously fantastic trip, you MUST do this!
        This was one of the best excursions I've done anywhere ever! We were lucky with the weather as it was clear with good visibility across the mountains and sunny all day, bit it was such a superb experience it would have been great without it! First of all the vehicle (Land Rover Defender) was in good shape and performed brilliantly. It was open top and enabled all round views and an exciting off-road experience! More importantly, the guide EDDIE was an absolute rockstar and an excellent host. Deeply knowledgeable about the flora and fauna, locations and history, he was also a total badaxe behind the wheel and provided enough entertainment to keep us thoroughly engaged for the duration of the trip. Eight hours door to door including levada walk (easy and unaccompanied), breaks and lunch, the time just flew by and I feel like we really got to know the island. By far the best thing we've done on holiday on Madeira, I unreservedly recommend this trip.

        Excellent Jeep Safari
        Every time I visit Madeira, I go on a different tour with this company, and they never disappoint. Deano our driver was great. Superb driving skills, very knowledgeable, and he looked after us well. The off road section was fab. Highly recommended.

        Lots of Fun off the beaten path.
        This was a fun interactive, hands on experience. our driver Miguel made it even more interesting with his personal insight and experience. Our half day trip ended on a hilltop overlooking the ocean. Off in the distance we could see Porto Santo Island as we made the local favorite drink "Poncha"

        Excellent Tour
        I highly recommend Madeira Expeditions. Victor was very professional guide and made us feel safe every part of the journey up to the top and back down the mountains. He explained ingredients in Poncho and the process making it. We also able to sample some rum and wine. He gave us ample amount of time to explore on our stops. Beautiful scenery and a good time had by all! 😎

        Best Guided Tour
        Amazing! The tour was a perfect mix of exploration and discovery of the Island. We really enjoyed the beautiful landscapes and the tasting of some of the iconic drinks of Madeira, like rum and poncha. Our guide, Vitor, made everything even more special. He's a great driver, he grew up in Madeira (so he knows everything about the island) and most important he's a great entertainer and a wonderful human being.

        I highly recommend this tour !
        The Santana Combo jeep safari was amazing!!! We went to the east side of the island and we had 8 stops which we had plenty of time to go around and take pictures. Our driver and guide, Antonio, was really informative, funny and very kind! He drove us few times off the main road, through the forest and through the local tiny roads. Which was one of the highlights of the trip as the roads were very bumpy. The Pico Arieiro, the traditional houses in Santana village and the Ponta de Sao Lourenco were my favourites. However in every stop, the views were spectacular and breathtaking. Thank you so much !

        So much more than just the sunrise - Victor is a true delight
        I rarely write reviews, but felt I would be doing this experience (and our incredible guide Victor) a disservice to not share how wonderful and special this experience was. I could not recommend it more highly. We had booked the sunrise tour for our honeymoon, and full disclosure - we did not actually see much of the sunrise due to the cloudy drizzle from the lingering effects of hurricane kirk affecting the mainland. BUT I can happily report that it didn't even matter! We left the tour beaming, and certainly created some truly special lifelong memories. Victor took us on an incredible tour hopping around other spots on the island, and he is absolutely delightful company! He is so upbeat and friendly, quick to crack a joke, and deeply knowledgeable about the history of the island and the flora and fauna. When he learned we enjoy gardening at home, he shared his wealth of knowledge about the local botany, including pointing out all of the local fruits and flowers. One of the many highlights was standing in the back of the land rover with the top down, picking guavas and passionfruit bananas to eat right off the tree! Incredibly happy with this experience, and delightfully surprised at how much more Victor was able to show us beyond just the advertised sunrise! Definitely ask for Victor if you have a chance, he made the whole morning feel like we were driving around the island with an old friend We would do this again in a heartbeat

      I prefer this kind of excursion because it feels more personal. with around three couples in a vehicle, the ice is soon broken and it becomes a more shared experience. The guide/driver (David in our trip) mixes genuine info about the island with a good dose of humourous quips that had us chuckling during whole day. A couple of tips, Have warm clothing with you and "sensible" footwear. Issues with your back? This kind of trip is not recomended as it gets very bumpy off road.

      Amazing trip with beautiful views of the island. Ricardo was our guide and he was really willing to go the extra mile - took some awesome videos from the off road drive and shared so much info about the island I’m pretty sure you couldn’t get from a regular excursion. 10/10 would recommend, especially this trip in particular since people usually don’t explore the center of the island, and they’re missing out.

      Superb experience with a driver at the top Ricardo who gave us a multitude of information about his island. Lunch in Santana in an excellent restaurant. We also took 2 small steps, we made several stops and visit a rum shop. I really recommend this outing.

      Most tours to the north of the island focus on Porto Moniz but the central stretch of the north coast, from São Vicente eastward is really dramatic. We prefer jeep tours because jeeps can get to places the larger tour buses cannot, and off-road is fun, although it is a relatively small part of this tour compared to some. Our driver, Jaz, had a great sense of humour, and knew how to take great photos - including selfies of himself of course! A very enjoyable day.
