With their extensive tours of Madeira’s rugged volcanic landscape, Madeira Mountain Expedition aims to show travellers a very different side of this popular resort island.  Exciting off-road tours are conducted to some of the island’s most breath-taking sights; all from the comfort of one of the company’s exclusive tour vehicles.
 
Jeep Safari Tours
 
The company offer seven main tours throughout Madeira, with each corresponding to a different region of the island. The first tour is operated in the area that surrounds the island’s capital and largest city of Funchal.  Called the Nun's Valley and Sea Cliff Half Day Tour, this excursion pays visit to the remote hamlets and villages that populate the picturesque Nun’s Valley.  The panoramic views from the edge of the valley make this tour a breath-taking introduction to the island.  For a slightly more active tour, the Combo Expedition in the eastern region of the island combines a Jeep tour with sections on foot exploring the islands’ unique network of canals, known locally as levadas.  The terrain varies on this trip from the serene and unique Laurisilva Forests to the extensive sugar farms of the island.  Guests will also have the opportunity to sample some of the island’s crops while touring in this area.
 
The company’s Boat Safari is a perfect tour to undertake following a Madeira Mountain Expedition’s excursion.  This trip begins in a Jeep but soon transfers to a catamaran, where travellers can enjoy full, panoramic views of the island of Madeira from the waters surrounding the its stunning south coast.  From here, travellers can appreciate the true scale of the island and the distance covered in previous excursions.  The crystal clear waters of the Atlantic Ocean are home to a variety of enthralling creatures, and on this tour it’s possible to encounter sea turtles, dolphins, whales and a whole range of other aquatic life.
 
Private VIP Madeira Expeditions
 
Madeira Mountain Expedition also offers discerning travellers a range of exclusive VIP tours.  These tours are conducted from the comfort of an exclusive Range Rover Sport 4.4L with full extras, which seats groups of up to four travellers and comes complete with a professional tourism guide who is well versed in the island and its stunning landscapes.  The addition of this expert tour guide adds a whole extra dimension to tours around Madeira, with the history, geography and natural diversity being revealed to visitors as the tour progresses.  The spacious Range Rover transport is also incredibly powerful and capable of reaching the most secluded and extreme terrain the mountains of Madeira have to offer.  This vehicle can be selected as an upgrade on any of the company’s Jeep Safari Tours, or can instead be used to undertake one of Madeira Mountain Expedition’s speciality tours.
 
VIP travellers can select the Private All Island Tour, which is the most comprehensive experience of Madeira that visitors can enjoy.  From the rugged cliffs of the island’s north-west coast, to the vineyards and orchards nestled in its quaint valley villages, on this tour guests get to appreciate the full Madeira.  Another speciality tour is a private and romantic sunset expedition, perfect for couples who wish to see the beautiful colours and awe-inspiring sight of the sun sinking into the horizon in panoramic view from Madeira’s central peaks.  This spectacular sight comes complete with a complementary drink, and may be the most unforgettable experience that the island has to offer.
