About this experience
Discover Madeira on a fascinating journey! Starting from Funchal, we first stopped at Santa Cruz, continuing towards Porto da Cruz.

At the Boca das Voltas viewpoint, enjoy a stunning panoramic view. At Arc de S. Jorge, we will take a lunch break. Continuing along the north coast, we pass through Boaventura, Ponta Delgada and São Vicente. At Quinta do Barbusano, we will make a visit to the property with a tasting of red, white and rosé wines. A journey that combines natural landscapes, tradition and unique flavors of the island of Madeira, ending at the end of the afternoon of return to Funchal.

A fun day out with Hugo
Hugo made the day very special, he was very informative and good fun, the jeep was comfortable for the 4 of us that day. We visited a lot of different areas and some off the beaten track, which was great to see. The wine tasting was also good. This is a great tour, we would recommend it 👍

Great fun
We did the full day tour with Felipe as our guide and driver. We had a brilliant time and he took us to some wonderful viewpoints along the east cost as we made our way to the north of the island. We were taken onto roads we would never have driven ourselves as most hire cars would probably struggle! This gave us a more authentic feel for Madeira and a much greater appreciation of the local landscape. Highly recommend this trip.
Response from the operator: Hello friend!! Thank you so much for your wonderful review!! hope to see you again soon :) AdventurelandMadeira Team

A superb day
A fantastic insight into Madeira, a really great day with good company. Lewis was an excellent driver, guide, comedian and most important extremely knowledgeable and passionate about his beloved Madeira. We stopped for lunch which for 17€ was well worth it. We then took in incredible scenery in this amazing country. The best part of the day was undoubtedly the wine stop. The young lady Rebecca was charming a wonderful advert for the wine company. She showed us around the vineyard explaining all the different types of wines , where and how the vines were best positioned and why. The tasting was as good as I tasted and again Rebecca explained the 6 different types of wine. Ranging from 3 different whites, a rose, and 2 reds. A truly wonderful day. The journey going back was easier as Lewis loved telling jokes as we all had had a few drinks we laughed a lot more than before. All in all a day I would highly recommend.

Why this scores 65
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
North Tour & Wine Tasting - 4x4 (Small Groups): questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Funchal.
How much does North Tour & Wine Tasting - 4x4 (Small Groups) cost?
+
Prices start at $89 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 North Tour & Wine Tasting - 4x4 (Small Groups) take?
+
Plan for about 8.5 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 North Tour & Wine Tasting - 4x4 (Small Groups) worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 65 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 5 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 North Tour & Wine Tasting - 4x4 (Small Groups)?
+
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 North Tour & Wine Tasting - 4x4 (Small Groups) suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 8.5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book North Tour & Wine Tasting - 4x4 (Small Groups)?
+
Around 2 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 8.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does North Tour & Wine Tasting - 4x4 (Small Groups) 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.
