    Full Day Jeep Safari East - Pico do Areeiro - Santana - Ponta de são Lourenço

    John our guide picked us at our hotel entrance in the Safari Jeep! We chose to sit the back on the benches and it was great fun but you have a limited view at the back. When we went off road and we were able to stand it was amazing but you need strong arms to support yourself. Our guide John was so amazing, his knowledge of the Island was simply incredible, he kept an eye on us the trip and nothing was ever too much for him to help. We enjoyed visiting the West side of the island so much we immediately booked the East side of the island a few days later and hope we get John again. We would 100% recommend this trip.

    A great day! The tour was...

    A great day! The tour was wonderful and having the roof off the top of the jeep was so fun! Be sure to book the levada walk when they message you so you have the QR code before it sells out. The walk is super easy, but so cool and the view is great! Even added in a secret location because we had a little extra time! Definitely recommend if you don’t have a car to check out these locations!

    A breathtaking, exciting, exhilarating tour off road and on of this magical island

    Excellent experience as usual we always book madeira safari because they do what they say and the tour guides are always wonderful . There were 11 of us in two jeeps with Gabriel and his smiley friend who were just outstanding. Our friends had never done the safari before and are now eager to return and do the other tours.

    Full Day Jeep Safari East - Pico do Areeiro - Santana - Ponta de são Lourenço: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Funchal.

    How much does Full Day Jeep Safari East - Pico do Areeiro - Santana - Ponta de são Lourenço cost?

    +

    Prices start at $79 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 Full Day Jeep Safari East - Pico do Areeiro - Santana - Ponta de são Lourenço 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 Full Day Jeep Safari East - Pico do Areeiro - Santana - Ponta de são Lourenço worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 85 out of 100, which we label "Exceptional". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.8/5 across 925 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable most popular in Funchal, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Full Day Jeep Safari East - Pico do Areeiro - Santana - Ponta de são Lourenço?

    +

    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 Full Day Jeep Safari East - Pico do Areeiro - Santana - Ponta de são Lourenço 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 Full Day Jeep Safari East - Pico do Areeiro - Santana - Ponta de são Lourenço?

    +

    Around 324 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 Full Day Jeep Safari East - Pico do Areeiro - Santana - Ponta de são Lourenço 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.
