Private Tours

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

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.

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.

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.

Summer is over.

We can say that we have good weather all year round because our location and our subtropical climate. we often find a different weather and the temperature may progressively decrease during our ascent to the mountains and usually we do not have a big difference from sea level to the highest mountains. 3º Pico do Areeiro - 1818 meters 2º Pico da Torre - 1851 meters 1º Pico Ruivo - 1861 meters The weather conditions are always unrelated and we never know what we will find during our tours, however in normal conditions we will have good weather - IPMA Join us on a jeep safari tour and enjoy this diversity - Always Madeira 4x4 one of the things to do in Funchal

With the experience over the years with customers who seek Jeep tours to explore the best that Madeira has to offer we naturally give a fantastic experience, all customers are different which also makes our tours always different. Many of these changes/requests are in advance and so we can customize the tour or sometimes they are made on the day of the tour.

Edyta Lipska -We’ve been so lucky to choose Always Madeira for our private tour of the north-west of the island. The views and beauty of this island speak for themselves but to have a guide like Edgar is that cherry on the top. Fascinating day, full of excitement, breathtaking views and all this with the narrative of someone who’s bread and born on this piece of paradise. What could be a better mix? All I can say is a big thank you! And hope we’ll be back soon to this welcoming, already deeply rooted in my heart, land.

Pico do Areeiro is the most popular place to see the sunrise but due 1818 meters of altitude and because it is very popular place the access sometimes is complicated due the immense vehicles up there. As an alternative to escape the crowds we have this beautiful suggestion, usually always good weather, so you can enjoy these beautiful colors and the beautiful landscape on our customized tour.

Prickly Cardoon - "Cynara cardunculus" Madeira has an immense landscape diversity, this part of the island being drier and more arid where the green preduminate does not exist at all, but we can always find some vegetation or flowers, in this case Prickly Cardoon - endemic of Madeira and the Canary Islands.
