    Wonderful

    Me and my family had a wonderful time! Nico is a great person and guide who drove us around the whole day with knowledge, warmth and laughter. I want to go back to Madeira so I can have another tour with UMM. They are a small company with a big heart:) I can’t recommend this more

    You wont regret booking

    Its difficult to put words on how amazing this trip was. Not only was the locations we visited absolutely breathtaking, but our guide Nico shared so much of his knowledge about the island and culture of Madeira. During our whole week of visiting Madeira, this trip became our highlight by far! Will definitely come back for more trips in the future!

    Unforgettable! Must do while in Madeira. Amazing. Fun. Action.

    Unforgettable experience. We did the West tour on Tuesday and the East tour combined with the sunset Pico experience on Thursday with our amazing guide Tobias! Once he figured out what we really liked, he customized our tour and took us (me and my daughter) off road through the most amazing breath taking places of Madeira. These days were the highlights of our whole vacation. Thank you Tobias for the unforgettable time we had, you are amazing. We had so much fun and really enjoyed our time, we would recommend every one to book a tour with you guys!!

    Wonderful tour!

    My friends and I had a wonderful day with our tour guide Filipe. He was knowledgeable, kind, and very fun to spend a day with exploring the beautiful island. We loved all the stops we went to, each one better than the last. Communication and booking ahead of time was straightforward. Would definitely recommend UpMountain Madeira for a tour!

    Incredible day 🤩

    We did a 4x4 tour of the east with Up Mountain Madeira and it was amazing! Our guide and driver, Diogo, was fantastic - such a nice guy and gave us loads of interesting information as well as taking us to places we would never have found ourselves. The off-roading was so much fun too! Highly recommend this company!

    Safari 4x4 Pico Arieiro Santana in Small Group "FlowerEAST": questions travelers ask

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

    How much does Safari 4x4 Pico Arieiro Santana in Small Group "FlowerEAST" cost?

    +

    Prices start at $77 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 Safari 4x4 Pico Arieiro Santana in Small Group "FlowerEAST" 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 Safari 4x4 Pico Arieiro Santana in Small Group "FlowerEAST" worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 82 out of 100, which we label "Exceptional". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 97 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 Safari 4x4 Pico Arieiro Santana in Small Group "FlowerEAST"?

    +

    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 Safari 4x4 Pico Arieiro Santana in Small Group "FlowerEAST" 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 Safari 4x4 Pico Arieiro Santana in Small Group "FlowerEAST"?

    +

    Around 34 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 Safari 4x4 Pico Arieiro Santana in Small Group "FlowerEAST" 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.
