Hey guys and girls! So we’ve been inside for over a month now, with no access to our wonderful poncha bars or our jobs, of which the latter is obviously more important! That being said, I decided to make some poncha, live on facebook and instagram for all of those who miss our favourite drink…

Hey Guys! We’re all in lockdown and can’t wait to get outside but until then, all we can do is dream a little. So we started a new YouTube series called The Social Distancing VLOG, where I go through old footage we have of our epic adventures in Madeira and the latest episode was all…

Hey everybody, I hope you’re all safe and sound. Before I get into anything I would like to show our sympathy for all those affected by the coronavirus pandemic. Our thoughts and prayers go out to all those who have lost loved ones, those who are suffering with the illness and of course to those,…

Hello Everybody, It is with a heavy heart that I announce the temporary postponement of our tours in March due to the necessary precautions we are taking over the next few weeks in reaction to COVID-19. There are currently 78 cases in Portugal, however, none yet reported in Madeira. COVID-19 can be an asymptomatic, but contagious, virus with an incubation period of up to 14 or more days. With the situation escalating daily our priority is your health and we simply do not want to put you and your families at risk. Cruise liners are now banned from docking in Funchal, all schools and teaching facilities will be closed as of Monday and many flights are being cancelled. As a result, we have decided to cancel all tours until the end of March. Our office is temporarily closed and our…

Last week we had the opportunity to visit this very unique and very interesting rum distillery on the south east coast of Madeira, during one of our Private 4×4 tours of the island. I had heard of Pedro and his family run distillery after visiting the Madeira Rum House in the old town and experiencing…

Yes it´s true!! Everybody who books a tour in March, stands the chance to enter into the draw for a free vacation in Madeira! We´re giving away a 7 day stay in an accommodation up to our standards, for two people. We´ll be throwing in a free tour or two as well! Why so generous?…

I was quite lucky to bump into my good friend Dan, last week in Funchal, who informed me of this new high end restaurant where he just happened to be working. I had already heard of this new mysterious restaurant with a very different concept and luckily Dan organised for me to meet Selim, the…

I´ve been wanting to contribute more in terms of charity and giving back to the community for a very, very long time now. Unfortunately sometimes life gets in the way and plans get put off but lately this concern of mine has become much more. Our government has decided to tar an old dirt path…

Well this was a whole lot of fun! This “small” family of 29 got hold of us to organise a 3 day custom itinerary of the best spots to include a sunrise, cable car, some hiking and loads of “secret spots”. We didn´t have much time to get everything rolling and these guys came out…

We´ve launched a brand new tour for 2020 and this one is great! This is the new “Espetada Cooking Class” Basically it´s food tour outside of Funchal with all of our usual Land Rover tricks;  shortcuts, steep inclined “local roads” and of course off the beaten track at all times. We´ll see some amazing views…

The amazing landscapes, the ancient laurissilva forest, the waterfalls, the wild coastlines and the longest irrigation system in the world, the levadas, makes Madeira one of the best places in Europe for all year hiking. It can be difficult choosing which of the many walks available on the island, so I thought I would try…

What’s up guys! So 2019 is, as usual, a year of new projects and one of these new projects is the brand new Sunrise Hike. The idea came about after wanting to get ”back in the game” and lead a couple more tours instead of always being in the office handling bookings and what not….
