4x4 Tour - A fantastic full day trip to the West and Northwest of the island. Ricardo was our guide/driver and he made the day even more special with his knowledge and the unique route on some of the islands 'old' roads.

Spend the day with a Maderian - My family and I went on the full day trip. Our guide Ricardo was extremely knowledgeable of the land, which made us feel like we spent the day with a local Maderian. The tour felt really unique as we went on paths and roads less frequented by other tourists. Ricardo was very accommodating of all our requests, especially given that we had a 3 year old with us. 10/10 would recommend Nature Connections for a private customized trip.

Not to be missed! The best day! - Excellent tour with a very knowledgeable guide called Ricardo. Very friendly and personalised. This tour is a must if you’d like to see some very beautiful places in Madeira and learn some of their History. We were lucky enough to have a private tour and Ricardo added in extra view points as he is very passionate about his home. It is an adventure not to be missed. Started at 9am and arrived back at the hotel around 5pm. Ricardo stopped and picked some bananas for us to try and banana passion fruit. A reservation for Lunch in Porto Moniz was pre booked by Ricardo which was needed as it was busy here. Many beautiful views, a little walking above the clouds in the forest and off road adventure through the eucalyptus plants. A must for all !

10/10 recommend the west/ northwest tour! - I would absolutely recommend this jeep tour to anyone! Especially given that we were staying in the south of Madeira without a car, this tour gave us the opportunity to see parts of the island that we might not have been able to. Beyond that, Ricardo was an incredible guide! He was so knowledgeable and made the day super fun for us. Beyond that, Ricardo offered us lots of advice and suggestions for the rest of our stay, he was a great resource!

Fantastic Experience - fun and very knowledgeable. - First time to Madeira and wanted to see as much of the island as we could. Decided to use this tour operator and was the best decision we made. From pick up to the end of the day it was an amazing experience. Marie and Ricardo were amazing and have so much knowledge between them. Good way to get around the island. Would definitely recommend and use again. Thanks for a great day.

A fabulous time - We had the best time on this tour. Marie was our driver and guide for the day along with Ricardo also on the tour explaining and sharing so much knowledge and interesting facts of Madeira. So much more personal than other tour companies, even bringing madeira wine and cookies, what a lovely thoughtful treat ? We booked a 2nd tour as it was so good. Spectacular viewing points and lots of information offered?! Wouldn't hesitate to book on other trips when we hopefully return and highly reccomend!! Keep doing it your way Ricardo, it's 👌🇵🇹 Thankyou Tracey and Paul

A simply brilliant tour, guides are awesome, don't hesitate to book!! - Hand on heart the best tour we could have hoped for. The info beforehand and organisation was brilliant and the guides (Ricardo and Marie) really were friendly and knowledgeable, and we had a good giggle enroute. They really looked after us and went the extra mile as we saw all the fabulous sights and wonderful scenery. The office road was good fun and carefully and expertly done. I wish I'd booked an east tour as well!!! Don't hesitate, Nature Connections are the firm to use.
