Let Me Surprise You Private Full Day Tour in All Terrain Vehicle

By Go Local Madeira Private Tours · listed in private tours of Madeira

Our take

For a weekday family outing, the free-child policy makes this worth a look. Children aged 12 and under can join without an extra charge. Families can use the three-person option.

The guide shapes the route around what interests you. The three-person option includes short hikes, with the difficulty adjusted to your needs. Lunch is paid separately.

Vehicle choice matters here. The Nissan Patrol has four sideways-facing passenger seats and one facing forward. In the Land Rover, all four passenger seats face forward. Ask which vehicle your family will use before booking.

In these roads, enjoy the view, relax and let me do the driving.

Meeting point, pickup and return

Hotel pickup included. 18 pickup points listed by the operator.

These are private tours with a single pick-up stop, and the adventure begins as soon as we meet. Important: pick-ups outside Funchal, Santa Cruz, and Câmara de Lobos incur a small additional fee. I drive a car branded with the Go Local Madeira logo and usually pick up guests at their door. For on-shore tours, I’ll meet you at the cruise ship dock and provide clear, easy-to-follow instructions to ensure a smooth and stress-free meeting. I have two fully restored all-terrain vehicles for your comfort and safety: Nissan Patrol (1993) – 5 seats: 1 facing forward, 4 in the back facing sideways (60 cm / 23 inches each), with a panoramic/convertible roof for amazing views. Land Rover Discovery TDI (1996) – 4 seats facing forward, perfect for a comfortable ride. Vehicles are assigned depending on availability, maintenance, or weather conditions, with prior notice given to guests.

From the operator

In Go Local Madeira Private Tours's own words, from the Viator listing.

You don't know the island and cannot decide what to do or which places to visit? Are you looking for exclusive, personal and unique experiences instead of following the same typical itineraries bigger companies offer?

This tour is entirely designed to fit your expectations, desires, and needs. Just tell me what you are looking for and which are your interests and I will prepare something that will surprise you and trust me, you will have an amazing and unforgettable day.

All tours are provided by me, a native seasoned and engaging tour guide, passionate with this island and with a mission, to make you will feel the same way about Madeira.

The pickup time is merely a suggestion. Travelers can choose the time to be picked up, upon mutual agreement.

For this tour, please bring comfortable footwear, a rainproof jacket and sun protection. If you are one of those persons that cannot resist a dip in our lukewarm waters if an opportunity occurs, come prepared.

Ready for a memorable day?
