This Jeep safari invites you to discover the southeast of the island in an authentic way, joining locals on their traditional weekly shopping day. Every Sunday, the Santo da Serra fair comes alive with colors, aromas and fresh regional products. It is a genuine Madeiran market where producers bring seasonal fruits, vegetables, flowers and homemade delicacies. Nothing is staged and everything reflects the daily life of the community. You are encouraged to slow down, explore at your own pace and enjoy the charm of a place where conversations flow easily and local culture thrives.
The journey to the market is an adventure of its own, following rural mountain routes and earthy trails surrounded by native vegetation. As the Jeep climbs through scenic hills, you are rewarded with sweeping views of valleys, forests and small villages that define the island’s natural beauty. This is an immersive experience filled with sensory moments, from the smell of pine in the air to the sight of open landscapes stretching beyond the horizon. It is the perfect blend of nature, culture and local life.

Had an absolute blast and spent hours here! A lot of the activities are of course children-oriented, but they were totally suitable for adults as well. I loved the variety of animals there were to see up close (cows, sheep, chicken, goats, pigs) as well as the demonstrations available. The entire estate was beautiful to just walk around in and explore (woodland trail, gardens). I also did a guided tour at the Overends House and the tour guide was wonderful--friendly, knowledgable, and catered to all ages present. The Overends Kitchen had delicious food and there were a ton of vegan/vegetarian options. Extra plus for sustainability and sourcing the food from their own farm!
Amazing place with great history behind and so many beautiful things to see! Very relaxing and also educational,plenty to do, many benches, paths and suitable for all ages. I can’t believe that I only discovered it recently, such a gem on the Dublin’s map❤️
A fantastic green oasis in the urban landscape, we had a curated tour by the amazing Sarah who went above and beyond in entertaining our group of Adults and children. Lovely to see animals, fruits, vegetables and flowers at the peak of the season. There is also a small farmers market and a restaurant using locally grown produce which were nice to browse and eat at, though the restaurant/cafe was busy.
Airfield Estate is a beautiful escape from the buzz of Dublin. The grounds are incredibly well maintained, with lovely walking paths, flower gardens, and wide-open spaces that are perfect for kids to run around. The working farm is a highlight — especially the cows, and chickens, and it’s great to see how food is produced sustainably. The café serves delicious, fresh meals made with produce from the estate — highly recommend the brunch! Staff are friendly and helpful, and there’s a calm, relaxed vibe throughout. A perfect spot for families, couples, or even a solo stroll with a coffee in hand. Can’t wait to come back in a different season to see how the gardens change!
Yesterday we spent a truly memorable day at Airfield Estate in Dundrum — it was one of those rare places where you can relax, learn, and enjoy real experiences as a family. We absolutely loved all the talks and tastings — from the Egg Talk at 10:00 🐔 to the fresh milk sampling at 10:30 🥛, every detail was engaging and thoughtfully presented. The Teddy Bear Picnic was a hit with the kids 🧸, and watching the sheepdogs in action was just brilliant. A special thank you and huge shoutout to our wonderful guide — her passion and knowledge made the day even more meaningful 💚. That said, we’d suggest adding more clearly marked stands with maps and up-to-date schedules around the estate. It would make planning the visit on-site much easier. Also, while the café had lovely options, the prices were a bit high and service was slow, even though there seemed to be enough staff. Overall, a beautiful place and a great way to spend the day outdoors. We’ll definitely be back!
