Private Tailored tour to the West in a 4WD

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

Our take

Children up to age 12 travel free on this private day. Families can book the option for three people. You help plan the route with the guide.

The guide builds the northwest route around the places you want to see. You agree the pickup time together. Private transport and pickup in Funchal are included. Santa Cruz and Câmara de Lobos are covered too.

Compare the group options before paying. The option for up to five people has the lower starting price at €300 per group. Meals and drinks are extra on that option. Check the seating for everyone in your party before booking.

The fascinating west side, where the north is always green, misty, and blue while the south, summer lasts for 9 months.

The west is where you can find the biggest banana, wine and sugarcane farms. Want to know why, come with me.Love wine? Me too. I can prepare you a wine tour where you will learn and try the famous fortified Madeira wine, table wine, home made wine and wine spirits and between drinks, dazzling views.Like to swim? Don't forget to bring your swimming gear. You can choose from sand to rock volcanic pools or pebble beach.These are the happy cows wondering around a UNESCO primitive forest.

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.

These tours are made for the ones looking to spend one day with a local, like a local, avoiding masses and going off the beaten track.

All the tours are provided just by one guide, myself, and i love my job,so, i always add something different to my tours making each one of them special, just like my guests and i will go over the extra mile to guarantee that.

I start all my tours with a personal agenda, i want you to feel the love and passion i have for this amazingly beautiful island!
