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.

2nd Cheapest Diesel on the N4 and Brean is one decent young man
Called in the morning to get a commercial conversion to import a jeep. Left in the afternoon with an amazing job finished by Marcus. Brean at kanes is a gent, was able to steer me on the process of importing based on his experience. Can't say enough good things about them. I would absolutely go to kanes again on the future.
Absolutely great service! They took care of the car on a Saturday evening after business hours. Would highly recommend and will be returning!! So sound and helpful.
On a recent visit to Ireland we broke down just outside Longford We rang kanes 4x4 who arrived within half an hour and towed us to his garage. He diagnosed the clutch and fly wheel needed replacing. Then took us and all our luggage to a hotel in Longford for the evening . The car was repaired early afternoon the following day ! We couldn’t have asked for better service. Breen was helpful honest and reasonably priced We are returning to Ireland next year and if we are unfortunate enough to break down again we hope we are near kanes 4x4 🙏 THANK YOU SO MUCH you really were BRILLIANT ! Fiona & Dermot Shelly Birmingham UK 👍🇮🇪
Best spot on the N4 for getting your diesel at the best price in the area. Self service pump and credit card machine which gives you a printed receipt. Haven't used premises for any other business so no comment.
