    Stay away from this company

    Stay away from this company. The jeep we were in broke down several hours into the tour and we were left stranded on the side of the mountain for two and a half hours waiting for a taxi. Ultimately we were issued an 18 dollar refund - complete joke.

    Response from the operator: Hello Wael 1 Our Jeep did break down , 2 You are no patience for waiting for the taxi that was paid for to take you back to the hotel. 3Taxis, can take quite a long time to arrive to the place depending where we are and specially we were in the middle of the mountains. 3 since we miss of spot, I gave you different options to go on that same day to see the Sunset to Pico do Arieiro for free or to go on the next day for free. 4You did not accept. 5 So I gave you part of a refound not the full refund like you wanted. On the top of everything you want to take advantage of the situation... Just Go Tours Mauricio

    Amazing guide and value

    Maurizio took me & my dad on a day tour of the West of Madeira. It was great to be in an open roof minivan as we could enjoy the views a lot more than in a normal minivan. Maurizio is an amazing guide, born on the island and with over 20 years experience, so he's very knowledgable about nature and viewpoints that bigger tour companies don't go to. He's super friendly and the tour was high value: for the same price we had a private tour as no other people were booked in, so it's worth going with an independent smaller company. Book your tour with him, you won't regret it!

    Response from the operator: Hello! Thank you very much for your 5 stars review. I'm very happy you enjoyed the tour and the Open-roof Minivan so much. See you next time. All the best, Maurício

    Private Jeep Tour Santana: Laurissilva Forest Full-Day East-Side: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Funchal.

    How much does Private Jeep Tour Santana: Laurissilva Forest Full-Day East-Side cost?

    +

    Prices start at $426 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 Jeep Tour Santana: Laurissilva Forest Full-Day East-Side 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 Private Jeep Tour Santana: Laurissilva Forest Full-Day East-Side worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 48 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4/5 across 4 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 Jeep Tour Santana: Laurissilva Forest Full-Day East-Side?

    +

    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 Jeep Tour Santana: Laurissilva Forest Full-Day East-Side 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 Private Jeep Tour Santana: Laurissilva Forest Full-Day East-Side?

    +

    Around 1 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 Private Jeep Tour Santana: Laurissilva Forest Full-Day East-Side 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.
