I would've preferred to meet people on the trip to chat with, but my guide was super knowledgeable and a friendly guy. On time, hit all the important sites and viewpoints- perfect if you have limited time on this beautiful island.”

★★★★★★★★★★4.9 · 855 reviews · 8 hours · from $92

“We are glad that we went on the trip as it was a great day out and it was an experience to go off-road over the mountains! The views were spectacular. Our guide was pleasant but we felt he could have been a bit friendlier, perhaps it was an off day. We enjoyed stopping off at the beautiful church and going on to taste the honey, wine and tea. The lunch was nice at the restaurant just across from the beach allowing us to swim in the warm Libyan Sea. It was quite fast paced and at times it felt a little bit rushed to fit everything in within the…”

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 819 reviews · 7 hours (approx.) · from $74

Spend about seven hours touring Madeira’s east in a small 4x4 group of up to eight. You’ll visit Pico do Arieiro, walk to Balcões, stop in Santana for lunch, taste Madeira rum, and see Machico, Caniçal, and dramatic coastal viewpoints. Guides such as Nico, Ernesto, Alex, Pedro, and Rodrigo may lead the day.

“Ernesto was an amazing tour guide and great driver. Didn't feel rushed or stressed. This tour has a levada walk that will take approximately 45min and you need to pay 3 euros. The guide suggested a lovely restaurant to eat and it was great. Only downside for me is the jeep itself, not very comfortable, bear in mind the roof will remain opened the entire time, so if you seat in the back get ready for sun and lots of wind...having the rooftop opened also meant a lot of noise from the road and tunnels.”

“I booked the half day morning safari with breakfast for my partner and I and we really enjoyed! I was worried about how busy it would be but our driver drove his own path and we managed to be the first to spot a leopard before other jeeps joined! So surreal! You could tell that the driver really respected the animals and was very knowledgeable, he also drove slowly and wasn’t rushing around trying to find animals. We managed to see 2 leopards, maybe 5 elephants, lots of peacocks, monitor lizards, crocodiles, deer, and plenty of birds! Would really recommend!”

★★★★★★★★★★4.7 · 520 reviews · 1 day · from $171

Cross from Tenerife to San Sebastián, then ride a shared 4x4 through Garajonay National Park and La Gomera’s mountain villages. Expect multilingual guiding, a local lunch, whistled-language demonstration, and plenty of scenic stops. English guiding is available, but not guaranteed for every group.

“La Gomera was stunning, well worth a visit and this tour was definitely preferable to a coach trip! Bit chaotic at the beginning but understandable as ferry times had changed. I thought we were getting an English speaking guide which would have certainly enhanced the trip but unfortunately not. The food was plain but nice. Would recommend if you want to see La Gomera on a fun day trip”
