Madeira: Half-Day Off-Road Buggy Tour

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.”

3.Porto: Off-Road Buggy Adventure

★★★★★★★★★★4.9 · 851 reviews · 3 hours

Drive a two- or four-seat buggy through the hills outside Porto with guides such as Zé, João, and Miguel. Expect rocky tracks, vineyards, forest, village lanes, Castro Mozinho’s Roman ruins, Quintandona’s schist buildings, photo stops, dust, mud, and optional pickup from Porto or Gaia.

“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 through Algarve farmland and rough country tracks with an English or Portuguese guide. Expect a safety briefing, helmets, goggles, dust, water, and views of 12th-century Paderne Castle. Drivers must be 18 or older with a full license.

“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…”
