Breathtaking Scenery, Exciting Off-Road & Great Rum!
We had an absolutely fantastic trip with Green Devil Safari in Madeira. Our guide José Escaleira made the experience truly special. He gave us such rich explanations and stories about all the different sights and places, which really brought everything to life. They were so patient and made sure our day was one of our favorite memories of the entire year. I highly recommend this to anyone who wants to see breathtaking scenery mixed with the fun and excitement of twisty off-road driving. The great rum tasting at the end was the perfect finish and left us wanting more. We’re already looking forward to doing it again next time.

Off road thrills
Great Tour with Eddie - we had a mixed group of nationalities and Eddie conversed in both French and English to make sure all the group was included. Great knowledge and driving from Eddie with fun off road driving and amazing food at a restaurant recommended by Eddie. We booked this trip through Lido tours - all very professional and great value for money.

Fantastic trip to northwest of island.
Fantastic trip with our guide Jose whose love for his island shone through. He explained the history of the island and was a great guide to the plant life. Taking us up roads that would be tracks anywhere else we had an exhilarating ride through to the top of the mountains above the clouds before dropping into Funal and seeing centuries old trees. Then went to port Funiz for a 3 course lunch with wine for just €18 per head with a chance to swim before going to a further swimming area. If you get the chance do swim it was wonderful. Arrived back at the hotel after a fantastic 8 hours trip. Would recommend this northwest trip totally and Jose was superb. Thanks again for the highlight of our holiday.

Amazing day
Had an amazing day with Miguel (tattoo) on the full day east tour. He gives a lot of information and gives a fun twist on everything. The tour was everything we expected and more! He made sure we have seen everything, and we had so much fun (he is a funny guy). Overall an amazing experience and would totally book it again!!

Amazing day in Madeira!
We took full day tour to North West of Madeira with 6 friends, it was incredible experience and definitely a highlight of our trip. The views were stunning and we saw so many different things in one day. My favorite was the beach with volcanic black sand. Our tour guide Jose was caring, funny and made us very comfortable! Thank you Jose, we will be back 🙏🏼

Why this scores 71
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
4x4 Full-Day Tour to Explore Portugal's Scents and Flavors: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Funchal.
How much does 4x4 Full-Day Tour to Explore Portugal's Scents and Flavors cost?
+
Prices start at $82 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Funchal usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does 4x4 Full-Day Tour to Explore Portugal's Scents and Flavors take?
+
Plan for about 7 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Funchal is not rushed.
Is 4x4 Full-Day Tour to Explore Portugal's Scents and Flavors worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 71 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 23 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Funchal, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule 4x4 Full-Day Tour to Explore Portugal's Scents and Flavors?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is 4x4 Full-Day Tour to Explore Portugal's Scents and Flavors suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 7-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book 4x4 Full-Day Tour to Explore Portugal's Scents and Flavors?
+
Around 8 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Funchal can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Funchal and add a light layer if any part of the 7-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does 4x4 Full-Day Tour to Explore Portugal's Scents and Flavors start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Funchal within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Funchal?
+
On Outty we rank every Funchal experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Jeep Tour Amazing West to Natural Pools -Full-Day, Porto Moniz, Seixal, Fanal Forest, Cliff Skywalk in Open Roof 4X4, West Tour-Fanal Forest & Porto Moniz Natural Pools Small Groups. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Funchal?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Funchal?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
