About this experience
Our 4x4 adventure begins at Cabo Girão, the famous "SKYWALK" the second highest cliff in Europe with ums incredible height of 580 meters. We follow winding roads to the Ribeira Brava, where the 16th-century Church of St. Benedict stands out, offering stunning views over the ocean. Then we reach Ponta do Sol, the most sunny spot on the island, surrounded by dramatic cliffs. We ascend to Paul da Serra, the only plateau of Madeira, often wrapped in fog, which contrasts with the lush coastal areas. Descending, we arrive at Porto Moniz, famous for its natural lava pools. Along the coast, Ribeira da Janela delights with its basalt columns. In Seixal, we admire the black sand beach and the natural swimming pools of crystal clear waters. We end in Câmarade Lobos, the fishing village visited by churchill, before toasting to the rich wine tradition of Madeira in the winery Henriques & Henriques, ending an unforgettable day.

Ribeira Brava is known for its extensive valley, discovered in the 15th century, with excellent weather for bananas and sugar cane.

After leaving Ribeira Brava, we will pass through Ponta de Sol to admire the village that was an important landmark for exports at the end of the 19th century. After that, we will stop for coffee, toilet and anything else that customers may need.

With a unique natural landscape, the Paul da Serra is a point of interest for unique contours on the island of Madeira. It is the largest mountainous plateau of the entire archipelago. It is therefore one of the most relevant (and indispensable) points of interest in the municipality of Ponta do Sol. With an average elevation of 1500 meters, the Paul da Serra allows access to stunning views over the mountainous peaks and deep valleys that mark the surrounding area. On days of good visibility, it is possible to see the coastline of the south coast and the north coast. The landscape is, however, dominated by the green tones of Nature.

Highly recommend
Miguel was an excellent guide. He took us to places we had never been to before and fed us full of interesting facts about the island and everything we saw and visited. I would highly recommend Miguel and his tours, you won’t be disappointed.

4 x 4 Jeep Adventure, 2 adults and a 5 year old
Brilliant 4x4 tour with Warriors Adventure! I had researched a lot before booking and so pleased we booked with Miguel, he was incredibly knowledgeable, funny and fantastic with our 5-year-old, keeping her engaged throughout. He was a brilliant driver, confidently navigating the narrow roads while making us feel completely safe. The car was spotlessly clean too. We saw so many amazing sights and got to experience the beautiful island from a completely different perspective. A brilliant trip from start to finish, we have had such a great day, thank you Miguel! Definitely recommend!
Response from the operator: Hello, thank you for this kind review ! We will keep up the good work, and keep providing great experiences to our clients 😄😄 Thank you for trusting WARRIORS ADVENTURE!! 🙏🙏

West coast jeep tour
Our tour guide Miguel was very friendly and approachable. He gave us in-depth descriptions of the places which we visited during the tour. Miguel gave us adequate time to explore our surroundings for each stop. We really appreciated his knowledge of the picturesque views and his input was useful. We also found Miguel to be a confident driver who strived to keep his customers safe. Thanks Miguel.

Scenic viewpoints around West Madeira coast!
Miguel was a great guide, he shared interesting information about the various places we saw and had lots of fun driving through the narrow steep lanes that normal vans wouldn’t fit in.

Why this scores 87
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Madeira 4x4 Jeep Safari : Porto Moniz, Lava Pools & Fanal Forest: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Funchal.
How much does Madeira 4x4 Jeep Safari : Porto Moniz, Lava Pools & Fanal Forest cost?
+
Prices start at $65 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 Madeira 4x4 Jeep Safari : Porto Moniz, Lava Pools & Fanal Forest 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 Madeira 4x4 Jeep Safari : Porto Moniz, Lava Pools & Fanal Forest worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 87 out of 100, which we label "Exceptional". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 191 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable most highly reviewed in Funchal, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Madeira 4x4 Jeep Safari : Porto Moniz, Lava Pools & Fanal Forest?
+
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 Madeira 4x4 Jeep Safari : Porto Moniz, Lava Pools & Fanal Forest 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 Madeira 4x4 Jeep Safari : Porto Moniz, Lava Pools & Fanal Forest?
+
Around 67 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 Madeira 4x4 Jeep Safari : Porto Moniz, Lava Pools & Fanal Forest 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.
