    This was an excellent trip seeing lots of different aspects of Madeira and having some fun being driven by Chris in the Land Rover. We stopped for an hour to go swimming at Porto Moniz which was definitely worth doing - there weren’t many people and they have really good changing rooms and showers there. It was misty up in the mountains so we didn’t get the views but this was more than made up for by seeing the ancient trees at Fanal emerge from the mist as we walked amongst them. Lunch stop was good and including the viewpoint was a good way to end the day. Be prepared for some fun driving!

    Cool trip to the most known and must-see places of the north part of the island. Doing so in the 4wheel made it more fun and let us travel some different roads. The guide and the vibe is upbeat, and it’s encouraged to participate - it’s not trip for those who just want to sightsee, but for sure a trip for those who wants some fun on the way!

    We had a fantastic day on the 4x4 tour. With Bruno as driver and a nice international group we left for some highlights of the island. Bruno told a lot along the way, used a lot of humor and was attentive and caring for the group. His English is excellent and he had an answer to every question. Both the off-road experience and the places to visit were spectacular! We personally chose this west tour (among all the others) because of the small group (max 8 people), the experience of the ride, and the visit to Fanal. Fanal is a nature reserve that is not normally offered on trips to the west and has a special laurel forest. There was also time to take a dip in 'the natural pools' of Porto Moniz! We had a very nice day. Recommended!
