The 15 Best Open-Roof 4x4 Jeep Safaris in Madeira

47 reviewed

An open-roof 4x4 gets you to the parts of the island the coaches can’t reach: the Fanal forest, the mountain passes, the black pools at Porto Moniz. Here are the best jeep safaris on Madeira: which cover the green west, which cross to the rugged east, how long each day runs, what it costs, and which suits a first visit.

“The jeep tour of Madeira's East with Safari Madeira was very enjoyable. Our guide was friendly, knowledgeable, fluent in German and English, and he kept our small group pleasantly engaged and entertained throughout. The stops were well worth visiting (although Santana, perhaps, is not all that interesting). Fantastic scenery, some adventurous roads through the forests (narrow and muddy, but not scary if you suffer from vertigo). The jeep was more comfortable than the Land Rovers that are often used for such safaris, and it safely and comfortably brought us to a waterfall hidden in a forest, as well as up and down some rural paths that a mini van would…”

I would do two of these next time instead of the bus tours.”

He was very conscious of our time requirements and in providing plenty of time to meet our all aboard requirements. I would highly recommend this tour and this operator.
