The whole island, your way
A whole Land Rover and guide to yourselves for the full island day. The route is built around what you want to see — ideal for families, photographers and anyone who'd rather not share the jeep.
Your own jeep, your own guide, your own day
Some days you don’t want to share the jeep. The private full-day tour gives you a whole Land Rover and an island-born guide for around eight hours, with a route built entirely around your group — the peaks, the coast, the waterfalls, or a bit of everything.
It’s the natural pick for families with kids, photographers who want to chase the light, and anyone who’d simply rather set their own pace.
Your route
East, west, or a mix of both — we build the day around what you actually want to see. Tell us your must-dos and leave the logistics to the guide.
Your pace
Linger at the viewpoint, skip the one that doesn't grab you, stop for coffee when you feel like it. No fixed timetable, no other guests to wait for.
Your guide
An island-born guide for the day, yours to ask anything. Great for photographers chasing the light and families setting their own rhythm.
We shape the day around the weather
The advantage of going private: the whole plan flexes. Your guide reads the conditions in the morning and points the day at wherever the island is at its best that day.
We can commit the day to the high mountains and the above-the-clouds viewpoints.
We swing to waterfalls, forest and coast — the flexibility to follow the good weather is the whole point of private.
Tell us the one thing you can't leave without seeing, and we build the route to make sure it happens.

Questions we get asked
How many people can come on a private tour?
[TBD — confirm the maximum group size for the private Land Rover with Jeff.] The price is per group, not per person, so it's often the best value for families and small groups travelling together.
Can we choose where we go?
Yes — that's the whole idea. Tell us your must-sees when you book, or leave it to the guide on the day. East, west, high mountains, hidden coast: your call.
Is it good for families with young children?
It's the best option for young kids. A private day flexes around nap times, snack stops and shorter walks in a way a shared group tour can't.
Do you pick up in Funchal?
Yes, hotel and holiday-rental pick-up and drop-off across the Funchal area is included.
