Best tour of the holiday
This was the highlight of my trip to Madeira. Our guide Bernardo was great and made the tour very enjoyable. All of the stops we made were great & the off-roading in the jeep was a welcome surprise! Would highly recommend The Big Adventure Madeira.

Great day out to discover Madeira.
We had a fantastic day on the Big Adventures 4x4 tour around Madeira. Our guide, Thomas, was excellent—friendly, knowledgeable, and made the whole experience enjoyable from start to finish. The open top 4x4 was a great way to see the island, and the off-road sections were a real highlight. Being able to stand up in the vehicle gave us some amazing views and made the journey even more exciting. It was also really convenient to be picked up from and dropped off at our hotel, making the whole experience completely hassle-free. If you’re visiting Madeira and want to see some incredible scenery while having a bit of adventure, we’d highly recommend this tour. Thank you Tomas for a brilliant day.

Highly recommend, amazing day out.
Bernardo was charming and knowledgeable and the perfect guide for our day out, he was fun and engaging and seemed to genuinely enjoy sharing his love of the island. We would highly recommend doing this tour. It really is a full day and there are many amazing things to see. He was a great driver, some of the roads were very narrow and steep but we never felt unsafe in the jeep. I love that they pick you up at your accommodation and drop you back at the end. The best experience for someone to Madeira to see the beautiful varied landscapes. If I did it again, while the restaurant stop in Porto Moniz was good, I would skip the lunch option and head straight to the natural pools (cafe on site). One of our party had to cancel the tour(well within the permitted cancellation window) and it took a phone call, several emails and texts to receive a refund (which we eventually did). Just a minor niggle and overall would recommend this tour without hesitation.

Funchal 4x4 Porto Moniz, Cabo Girão, Seixal Waterfalls and Poncha: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Funchal.
How much does Funchal 4x4 Porto Moniz, Cabo Girão, Seixal Waterfalls and Poncha cost?
+
Prices start at $83 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 Funchal 4x4 Porto Moniz, Cabo Girão, Seixal Waterfalls and Poncha take?
+
Plan for about 8 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 Funchal 4x4 Porto Moniz, Cabo Girão, Seixal Waterfalls and Poncha worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 73 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 27 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 Funchal 4x4 Porto Moniz, Cabo Girão, Seixal Waterfalls and Poncha?
+
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 Funchal 4x4 Porto Moniz, Cabo Girão, Seixal Waterfalls and Poncha suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 8-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Funchal 4x4 Porto Moniz, Cabo Girão, Seixal Waterfalls and Poncha?
+
Around 9 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 8-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Funchal 4x4 Porto Moniz, Cabo Girão, Seixal Waterfalls and Poncha 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.
