Madeira Majestic Mountains Half-Day 4×4 Tour

Majestic Mountains 4×4 Tour is for travellers who want movement, scenery and a more active element in their itinerary.

Majestic Mountains 4×4 Tour: experience overview

A half-day exploring the towering peaks of Madeira is on the cards with this tour. You’ll head off-road by 4×4 up to viewpoints and mountain passes, and finish with a stop at Cristo Rei at Garajau for arguably the most iconic views of the day. The tour gets going at Largo do Miranda and continues with an exciting drive up to Pico do Arieiro at 1818 metres, from where the panorama really opens up. On a clear day, you can see Ponta de São Lourenço, Ribeiro Frio, and Paúl da Serra. Next, embark on an off-road adventure through Santo da Serra's unique and pristine forest, then journey back to Madeira's south coast, with scenic overlooks of local farmers' terraces and more awe-inspiring viewpoints. After the final stop, at the Cristo Rei viewpoint, it’s time to head back to base.

This makes the experience a useful option when planning time in Madeira. The listing describes this as a half-day experience. Routes, start times, inclusions and meeting arrangements may vary, so the current booking page should be treated as the final source of operational information.
