Always Madeira

These dear customers visited Madeira on a cruise ship, (Regal Princess) which stayed all day in the port of Funchal.

They chose to do our most popular tour, the Northwest Private Jeep tour, including Fanal forest, Cabo Girão the sky walk, Câmara de Lobos, Ribeira da Janela, lots of waterfalls and even a wine tasting. As it was their wish, we concluded the tour with a visit to the old town to see the painted doors before returning to the port of Funchal

Overall, from the feedback we had, it was a very positive tour, they saw a lot of things during the tour and the satisfaction was 100% now they intend to return to the Island to spend more time and explore other beautiful things with their families.

Since we started this small project Always Madeira 4x4 with the purpose of offering an exclusive, almost luxury product, we have faced the ups and downs of launching a new name, a new brand. Here in Madeira we have a lot of companies that provide similar tours, but we can guarantee that we are unique, from our vehicles to our guides among other things you will discover when you join us, we guarantee the best experience. Our customers express that opinion in the testimonials we receive and they also say we are one of the things to do in Madeira.

Susan Timmel - James picked us up at the port. It was very easy to find him. We did the 4x4 Northwest tour. He was very friendly and wanted to make sure we got to see what we wanted to. His driving was great and he even took us for some off roading. Our time went so quickly! We thoroughly enjoyed our visit to Madeira and James really helped make our day great! We would love to come back and do the East side tour next

Do you just like small groups? Is a personalized tratment and extra attention what you are looking for? Do you like to create your own itinerary?

Okay We like small groups as you, preferably on a private tour. We guarantee a personalized treatment adding extra attention. We also can follow your itinerary on a customized tour.

Elaine Brooks - The guide Edgar was one of my best from years of travel & this rating is for him. He accommodated with what was needed to make the tour exemplary. I would recommend this guide to anyone seeking a tour of this beautiful island along with a great history lesson and would use again along with inform my friends traveling this way to seek him out.

Bird of Paradise - "Strelitzia reginae" Around the word this beautiful flower is associated with Madeira Island but its origin is from South Africa.

Perhaps because it appears on many postcards or because we have a huge amount of these all over the Island, sometimes next to the houses, public gardens or even up tp 400 meters high is some areas.

when you book a tour with Always Madeira 4x4 you guarantee a tour away from the crowds! Some highlights as Cabo Girão (skywalk), Porto Moniz rock pools, or Seixal the black sand beach can be a little busy depending on the time we get there but during the tour we chose alternative routes like this one, through remote places to enjoy the real Madeira and you get to know the Island like a local.

When i heard or read ate the beginning this vehicle returned to the road that the car had many stories, yeas it is true it had many stories since 1983, but i could only remenber these ones! We will release some videos of this recovery/restoration process of this portuguese vehicle UMM - Cournil that was condemmed to scrap. In this video special thanks to my father and my brother, without my father this project never have gone ahead.

Leaving Funchal we start this 5 hours customized shore excursion tour. Our customers were on Sun Princess (cruise ship) and being the first time on the Island they would like to explore some Laurissilva Forest - UNESCO World Heritage Then we drove to the northeast and explored this fantastic off-road and the customers had the courage to cross this tunnel with a water channel (Levada) as many of our ancestors used in some areas as a shortcut to pass from on side of the mountain to the other and they loved it.

Calla Lily - "Zantedeschia aethiopica"

The Madeiran people are proud to live in this paradise so it is very common to see various types of flowers around their houses in pots or gardens, but because Madeira is a garden these flowers also grow naturally in our mountains up to an altitude of 800 meters. At the end of September and beginning of October we started to see these beautiful flowers blooming in our forests.

Garden Nasturtium - "Tropaeolum majus"

This herb grows well in Madeira up to 300 meters high and it gives this fantastic flower, which in some countries is used in salads or for medicinal purposes because it has a large amount of vitamin C.

We always give the option to do or not to do off-road

Safaris here in Madeira is not to see wild animals often associated with safaris in Africa or a full day with off-road but we do some during our tours. Safari means passing through places/roads where it is not possible with normal vehicles (rental cars), minibus or bus. In recent years we have been adapting our tours to the development of many rural areas or even to what our customers are looking for and usually is just a tour away from the crowds and a different way to explore Madeira.
