A memorable day out with Miguel.
Published on Dec, 2024
Picked up from our hotel and headed up into and above the clouds to Pico de Arieiro, followed by several hours of exploring the NE of the island , including an off- road section, a coffee stop, a lunch stop and a bar for homemade ponchas, a levada walk, and numerous stops for admiring the spectacular scenery . Miguel really did look after us, He has a great knowledge of the island, and he knows all the small tracks to take to avoid the traffic and to go places where no other jeep tours go! Excellent day out. Thankyou Miguel.

Awesome jeep tour
Published on Jul, 2024
A truly wonderful tour with the amazing Miguel. Fantastic scenery with an exhilarating off and on road experience. We enjoyed the photo stops and , the opportunities to walk including a 2km Levada experience. The lunch stop was great and we enjoyed the local rum based cocktail in a quiet bar at the end. In fact it was all quiet and off the tourist track. I can’t speak highly enough of Miguel. He was awesome ! If you only do one tour in Madeira make it this one.
