Available options
Half-day tours are a good option if you want to experience Madeira by 4×4 without spending the whole day on the road.
Full-day tours cover more ground, with a mix of mountain roads, viewpoints, villages and off-road sections.
Private tours give you more flexibility, particularly if there are certain areas or places you would especially like to visit.
