Traveler reviews
The experience
The jeep leaves Funchal or Caniço with pickup arranged for you, and the open-top design means you see the landscape from inside it rather than through a window. The route depends on which option you choose at checkout. Each one is a full day and covers terrain that requires a rugged 4x4 to access. The northwest route takes you to UNESCO-listed forests and volcanic pools; the east route passes through villages with traditional architecture and climbs to Pico Arreiro; the northeast combines traditional houses with a stop at a working rum factory. A live guide travels with the group and narrates in your language.
The tour runs 7.5 hours and includes the driver and guide as part of the booking. Small group size keeps the jeep from feeling crowded, and the open-top setup means you're not separated from the landscape by glass. Specialized infant seats are available if you're traveling with young children. The pickup is included when you book from Funchal or Caniço. Pickups outside that area carry an extra fee you can add at checkout.
