West Madeira Private Jeep Tour

About this tour

The Private West Tour Madeira is the ultimate open-top 4x4 jeep experience along Madeira's wild and lush west coast. Starting from Funchal, your private jeep ascends to Paúl da Serra — a vast highland plateau at 1,400m — before entering the ancient Fanal laurel forest, one of Portugal's 7 Natural Wonders. Twisted centuries-old trees, often veiled in Atlantic mist, create an otherworldly atmosphere unlike anywhere on Earth. Next, you descend the dramatic northern cliffs to Porto Moniz, where natural volcanic lava pools carved by centuries of ocean waves await. Take a dip in the crystal-clear Atlantic — one of the most unique swim spots in the world. The return route hugs the coast through Seixal's waterfall, where water cascades directly onto the road, and ends at Cabo Girão — one of the highest sea cliffs in Europe, with vertiginous views over the south coast. With a private jeep exclusively for your group, you set the pace. Stop for longer where you want, skip what you don't, and have your guide's full attention from pickup to drop-off.
