Once in a lifetime experience
We did a sunrise private jeep half day tour with Green Devil Safari. It was an unbelievable experience and created a memory that will last for a lifetime. Sunrise above the clouds in a secret location that only local knowledge will get you. Jose was our guide and he was such a brilliant and knowledgeable guide. An absolute gentleman to boot. Pick up was seamless. Jose took us to some incredible locations on the tour. Would highly recommend this company for private tours in Madeira.

Great family ride
A great experience with our guide Lino who was able to explain the whole tour in French! We spent more than 4 hours among the villages and greenery. We really recommend!! Thanks again:)

Another tour with the driver Luís !
Once again we book a private half-day tour with the driver Luís Castro and it was amazing 😍! We did a different off-road where we could see different views and some animals, we stopped for lunch at the jungle restaurant with good vegetarian options and headed to Fanal, in Fanal we did a different route than usual, Luís put us on a short walk through the forest, we were lucky that it was cloudy which gave a magical touch to the scenery, after the walk we went to the lagoon and we could take some pictures while Luís talked about the centenary trees. After the forest, we went down to São Vicente and tasted some good wine at Porto de Abrigo and poncha, a traditional Madeiran drink. It's worth noting that Luís' knowledge has increased considerably since the last tour. And he always passes on his knowledge with passion. Once again, it was worth taking a tour with Luís! Trust this company, the guides know what they're doing!

Why this scores 59
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
private, half-day tour of Madiera in an open top safari jeep: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Funchal.
How much does private, half-day tour of Madiera in an open top safari jeep cost?
+
Prices start at $300 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 private, half-day tour of Madiera in an open top safari jeep take?
+
Plan for about 4 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 private, half-day tour of Madiera in an open top safari jeep worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 59 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 11 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 private, half-day tour of Madiera in an open top safari jeep?
+
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 private, half-day tour of Madiera in an open top safari jeep suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 4-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book private, half-day tour of Madiera in an open top safari jeep?
+
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 4-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does private, half-day tour of Madiera in an open top safari jeep 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.
