Pico Arieiro 4x4 Safari: Unforgettable Madeira Peaks

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!

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!

We had a fantastic day with UpMountainMadeira. From the very first contact by mail, we felt the love for their business and clients. The reservation was very easy to make. The tour itself was also great, Diego showed us a lot of beautiful places and was an excellent guide. He gave us space to explore things on our own when possible and was around to guide and help us when necessary. Next to the regular roads, we also drove offroad a few times, which was of course a great experience. Diego also tought us a lot about de the local fauna. His kind and humoristic approach was fantastic and made our day. We would chose this company again in a heartbeat!

Up Mountain were just “the best”. We were extremely comfortable and had an amazing guide. We were advised to use up mountain by friends who visit Madeira often. It was the best choice after passing other (very cramped) vehicles doing a similar thing, we were very happy with Up Mountain and would definitely use them again

We had an incredible time on the East and West tour with Tiago! His storytelling and sense of humor added so much fun to the experience. Thank you, Tiago, for making the tour so enjoyable!

We had a wonderful day with Vitor touring the east side of the island. Vitor is a Madeiran and took us to many local spots accessible only by his 4x4. In fact, the tour was so good everyone booked a tour with Vitor in two days time for the west side of the island. Thanks for two fantastic experiences Vitor! Hoping to return and, if so, will definitely be booking another tour with you.

A fantastic day discovering so many hidden gems. Our guide was Vitor who was super friendly and so knowledgeable about the island. We were picked up on time in an old army jeep and visited Pico Arreiro, the Barcelo lavada, Santana, Friel and Ponta do Rosto. During the day we drove off road through the Lauro Silva Forest standing up in the jeep which was exhilarating and we stopped at lots of places along the way to taste various herbs and fruits that Vitor picked for us. We stopped for a delicious lunch in Santana at a restaurant recommended by Vitor snd visited one of the traditional Santana houses. It’s rather sad that these are not preserved by the government… a very sweet elderly lady was tending hers when we visited. We also stopped at a local bar where the owner distils his cider from the local apples - very tasty. Vitor was a brilliant guide -we had such a fun time and learnt so much. An excellent trip and certainly the best we have ever done in Madeira. Don’t miss out!!

We had an amazing on our Jeep tour around Pico do Arieiro and Satana (and many more places). Our guide Diogo knew everything about Madeira from the local plants, geography, history and culture. We learnt so much. We also had so much fun going around the Island and we did so much in just 7 hours. Highly recommend Up Mountain Madeira. No complaints!!

Nico was professional, friendly and obviously passionately in love with his beautiful island home. Our tour with 7 people was in a luxurious van which he rented so that we would have more room than would have been the casein his normal vehicle. The weather cooperated and that also helped to make our day even more enjoyable, but quite frankly we would have been happy even in less than perfect weather since Nico was such a wonderful guide. Everyone enjoyed the tour immensely.

The tour was amazing! We spent the day with a wonderful guide with great tips and interesting facts about the island. The car had no roof so you could stand up during the drive. It felt really special! They took us off the road which was another great experience. Some places we would not have been able to visit on our own because of the crowds and lack of parking, so it was really great to experience them with them. Nico showed us so many great viewpoints that I was amazed. The island itself is such a wonder, but having a local show you around is so much better! We loved it and hope to come back and do another tour soon!
