East 4x4 Santana & Peaks

Embark on an unforgettable 4x4 adventure to explore the eastern side of Madeira, where tradition, nature, and hidden beauty await. With an open-top vehicle, you’ll journey through scenic backroads and off-the-beaten-path villages, gaining a unique perspective of the island’s rich culture and dramatic landscapes. One of the highlights of the tour is a visit to Santana, home to the iconic thatched-roof triangular houses that reflect Madeira’s rural heritage. You’ll also make your way to Pico do Areeiro, the island’s third-highest peak, where panoramic views stretch across the mountainous terrain and clouds drift below your feet.

As you continue your journey, discover a traditional rum factory where you can learn about the island’s sugarcane production and taste authentic Madeiran rum. The tour also takes you through Madeira’s UNESCO-protected Laurisilva forest, a lush and ancient woodland that’s home to rare plant species and incredible biodiversity. Driving through non-touristic villages, you’ll get a glimpse into the authentic daily life of the locals, far from the typical tourist trails. This immersive experience combines adventure, nature, and cultural discovery, all in the comfort of a small-group 4x4 ride that ensures personal attention and unforgettable memories.
