★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 62 reviews · 3.5 hours · from $212Top rated

A private Polaris RZR XP4 buggy ride through Madeira’s mountains and Laurissilva forest, with GoPro photos, flexible stops, and big views.

“This was a brilliant morning. We all got a chance to drive the buggy through some interesting but manageable terrain, even for inexperienced drivers. This meant we could be as adventurous or cautious as each of us wished. Ricardo was a great guide. Fun, knowledgeable and with an appropriate eye on our safety. We saw some spectacular scenery and learned much about the history and nature of the island. Would highly recommend.”
