Description
This half-day Jeep tour is perfect for those seeking an unforgettable blend of adventure and breathtaking scenery. Experience Madeira’s mountain landscapes from a whole new perspective while adding a thrilling twist with one of the island’s top adrenaline activities.
Your journey begins in the picturesque village of Ponta do Sol, a coastal gem known for its traditional charm, lush banana plantations, and the warmest, sunniest climate on the island. Take in the relaxed atmosphere and beautiful seaside views before the adventure continues inland.
From there, your Jeep climbs through an ancient “royal path”— a historic, partially abandoned mountain road once used by locals before modern tunnels were built. As you ascend, the terrain transforms dramatically, offering panoramic vistas and glimpses of Madeira’s beauty. On clear days, you may even find yourself above the clouds, surrounded by misty peaks and endless horizons.
Please note that the Zipline and Giant Swing experience is not included in the base tour price and carries an additional cost, based on your chosen activity.
The second stop brings you to the highlight of the day — Madeira’s ultimate adrenaline zone. Here, you’ll have the chance to choose between two thrilling experiences:
• The Zipline, where you’ll soar across a deep valley at high speeds, taking in
incredible views from the air.
• The Giant Swing, suspended off a cliff edge, offering an exhilarating free-fall
sensation and unmatched views of the mountains and sea.
Feel the rush as you fly down a zipline from 320 meters high, reaching speeds of up to 110km/h — one of the highest in Europe. Or, swing out over the cliffs on a giant swing, 20 meters in the air with a breathtaking 250 meter drop below you. A fully certified team, professional safety equipment, and experienced guides guarantee an exciting yet safe experience.
After the excitement, the adventure slows down with a scenic pause at the Seixal black sand beach the perfect spot to breathe in the fresh air, capture photos, and reflect on the journey before descending back toward Funchal.
This tour combines the best of Madeira — adventure, nature, culture, and stunning landscapes — into one thrilling half-day experience you won’t forget.
