Private Tailored tour to the East in a 4WD

By Go Local Madeira Private Tours · listed in 4x4 jeep tours of east Madeira

Our take

I'd book this if you want to shape an east day around your interests. You agree the stops and pickup time with your guide. The price starts at €320 per group.

Your group gets its own pickup at your accommodation or the cruise dock. The guide can suggest a route after hearing what you want to do. You may travel in a Land Rover Discovery or a Nissan Patrol. Four rear seats in the Nissan face sideways.

Pickup in Funchal and Santa Cruz is included. Câmara de Lobos pickup is included too. Lunch costs extra. Compare the group options before booking because the smaller option has the higher starting price.

Prepare yourself, because you will fall in love with this island!

Meeting point, pickup and return

Hotel pickup included. 7 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.

These tours are designed for those who want to spend a day with a local, like a local, avoiding crowds and visiting even the must-see places at the quietest times.

All tours are led by a single guide — myself — and I love what I do. I always add something special to each tour, making it unique, just like my guests, and I go the extra mile to ensure an unforgettable experience.

I begin every tour with a personal agenda, because I want you to feel the love and passion I have for this incredibly beautiful island!
