Embark on an exciting journey to explore the eastern side of Madeira in a 4x4 open-top vehicle, offering a unique and immersive travel experience. This full-day adventure will take you through stunning natural scenery and charming local villages, far from the typical tourist routes. Discover the iconic traditional thatched houses in Santana, a symbol of Madeiran heritage, and marvel at the breathtaking views from Madeira’s third-highest peak. As you journey through the island’s interior, you’ll also visit non-touristic communities that offer a glimpse into the authentic daily life and culture of the region.
The tour continues through the UNESCO-listed Laurisilva forest, a lush and ancient landscape filled with endemic plants and towering trees that once covered much of Southern Europe. You’ll also have the chance to stop at a traditional rum factory, where you can learn about the time-honored process of Madeiran rum production and perhaps sample a local spirit. Throughout the tour, your knowledgeable guide will share stories, history, and insights, making this not just a sightseeing trip but a deep dive into the culture and natural wonders of Madeira.

Family owned local business that have a World Class business attitude! I have purchased from North South 4X4 on a number of occasions now and found the experience INCREDIBLE 😳 The first time I made an enquiry over the phone I was greeted by the most jovial and professional individual. I have over 40 yrs experience in the motor industry and feel I should express my gratitude towards this company . I read some of the negative reviews and I think, in my opinion do not deserve merit ( entitled prima Donna’s). I have absolutely no affiliation to the company but based on my professional opinion would definitely rate them Special Forces 💪🏻 As a Dub its always a pleasure to deal with Professional Country Colleagues 🇮🇪☘️ well done 👏🏻
I ordered alot of stuff for a new Hilux, all was good quality, there was a slight mix up, which was sorted immediately once I contacted them, fantastic service excellent staff, I highly recommend buying from these lads, thanks from county Kerry.
I've been using this company for years for my business & personal use - they have been the only company with consistent availability - I've got crossmembers, chassis mounts, replacement body panels, fuel injectors and tanks, bumpers, bulbars etc. honestly the list goes on really. 10/10 service would highly recommend them again and again. I've had them deliver to customers of mine over in England and Scotland and they have been very quick, I've even done click and collect a few times when I've been up that part of the country. Staff know what they are talking about as well. Top quality and service.
I purchased chrome tail light covers for my Landcruiser (KDJ150/KDJ155 2018-2024) from North South 4x4 and unfortunately had a very disappointing experience. It was a poor product quality - parts of the adhesive tape had no stickiness at all. €78 wasted on a defective product. Despite proper surface preparation including cleaning and decontamination by someone experienced in fitting automotive accessories, the covers would not properly adhere. While some sections stuck, other areas completely failed to bond. When I requested a return form and prepaid shipping option due to the product being defective, the company refused and blamed the installation process without acknowledging the adhesive issues. Their suggestion to drive to their workshop in Monaghan for fitting isn't a practical solution given I live a 7hr round trip away, especially given that these should be straightforward to install with properly functioning adhesive. I would not recommend these tail light covers as the quality doesn't justify the price, and the customer service was unsatisfactory when addressing a legitimate product defect.
Must say I am more than surprised to read the negative comments, ordered around 1000 euros of chassis parts and mounting brackets for my jeep they were so helpful on the phone and answered all my questions and gave great advice on the repair work. I was told that the order would be delivered to me the following day and it came around 12 noon the following day. Fantastic bunch of people to deal with. 👍
