Not open top and boot seats used to take more people, we had to sit here all day
The locations on the trip were fine, shame the smaller fee admission weren’t included. Personally I think there should be 2 hrs at Porta Meniz, enough time to have a leisurely dip in the volcanic pools and to have some lunch. The complaint I have with the trip was that it was advertised as an open top jeep type vehicle but it was not so we were not in the great sunny air. Also we ended up in the boot seats which are not comfortable, facing in wards and higher so couldn’t see out of the windows (at the scenery) I am also tall so it made this even worse sat up there. We were told that we would get to move on the way back but the other people didn’t want to sit there either and began kicking off so I didn’t push for any fairness. Although I don’t think anyone should have to spend all day in that position, really did completely spoil our day and experience unfortunately.

We saw the best of maderia sights in a day

Was not as advertised,...
Was not as advertised, though guide was very good. Private, does not mean private, and being shuffled into jump seats in the rear was not pleasant.
Response from the operator: Thank you for your review, but the tour as advertised is not private and is reserved for the jeep's seat. Regarding the rear seats, we always give our clients the option to switch and rotate places in the jeep. We apologize for the inconvenience and hope to have you again in the future.

Great tour with the world's best rider
The excursion was operated by Nature Express Tours. Tiago was a great driver and told us a lot about Madeira. We liked it very much and we would like to do a similar tour with him again.

Top experience to get to know the island and for a bit of adrenaline rush.
Thanks to Diogo, great guide and a top driver , also very entertaining and relaxed. We were there by cruise ship, pick up right at the CR7 Museum, ideal for cruisers. Was a fantastic day, if you are looking for a bit of adrenaline and want to explore the island at the same time is right here!

Why this scores 63
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Madeira Jeep Adventure: Giant Swing, Zipline & Volcanic Pools: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Funchal.
How much does Madeira Jeep Adventure: Giant Swing, Zipline & Volcanic Pools 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 Madeira Jeep Adventure: Giant Swing, Zipline & Volcanic Pools 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 Madeira Jeep Adventure: Giant Swing, Zipline & Volcanic Pools worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 63 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.5/5 across 10 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 Madeira Jeep Adventure: Giant Swing, Zipline & Volcanic Pools?
+
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 Jeep Adventure: Giant Swing, Zipline & Volcanic Pools 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 Madeira Jeep Adventure: Giant Swing, Zipline & Volcanic Pools?
+
Around 4 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 Madeira Jeep Adventure: Giant Swing, Zipline & Volcanic Pools 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.
