2.Madeira: Half-Day Off-Road Buggy Tour

★★★★★★★★★★4.8 · 940 reviews · 3 hours

Drive a 4x4 buggy through Madeira’s mountain tracks near Cabo Girão, mixing roads, forests, rocky trails, mud, and photo stops. Guides such as Laura, Ronaldo, and Tiago provide safety briefings, protective gear, and local stories. Expect three lively hours, changing weather, and a good chance of getting dusty or muddy.

“The activity was very well organised and good fun. We drove through rough terrain, dirt and some muddy puddles too. At the end of it, we could boast that we had never gotten so dirty in our lives:)! However not to worry, the protective gear provided does its job. I highly recommend buying the scarf at €5 from their garage, to protect your nasal and mouth airway. It is an activity that I highly recommend to those seeking to experience something different in Madeira.”

“This is an absolute MUST do on your trip to Porto. Renting a car to “tour around” the hills outside Porto will not give you this amazing experience plus the fun! Our pick up was by the owner Tiago who shared the love of his country and the business he runs (which he is also a professional in!). The tour did multiple stops for rests and pictures. I will not share what they are as they are unreal and will wreck your experience! They were more than we could have imagined! We did the 3 hour tour and I will tell you that 1 hour will NOT be enough! They…”

Drive a two-person buggy from Casa Vieira near Loulé through dirt tracks, steep climbs, river crossings, and the quiet village of Querença. Guides including Paulo, Pedro, and Eduardo lead the route, provide safety gear, and adjust the pace when possible. Expect dust, mud, and plenty of off-road fun.

“Wow - what a superb experience this was. The tour took us up some serious inclines and down some huge down hill drops, through various river crossings… not to mention the different terrains- rocks, gravel, mud, roads and tracks. Really a bit of everything. Paulo started off with a very clear health & safety, and run through of the does & don’ts. Edwardo the tour guide certainly knew the bests places to go. Without doubt the hi light of our short trip away. Well worth taking the time out of a holiday, for an experience you won’t regret.”

I did this for my fiancé birthday today and he really loved doing this. The views were stunning throughout and yes you will get muddy in some parts of it.”

“Great experience driving buggies. We were with the two of us so one drove one way, the other back. The entire group counted something around 12 buggy’s. The trip was partly off road which was fun driving. There is a lot of dust while driving so would definitely recommend something like a scarf or something else around the mouth to be able to keep breathing easily. We got balaclavas at the location for 3€ each which proved its money worth! Tour guides were nice. Because you’re driving your own buggy you’re not in much contact with them apart from the short explanation at the start. They provide water halfway which…”
