Nature Conection provide a first class experience. - This is the second time that we have taken a trip with Nature Conection and both trips were superb, Ricardo was not only an exceptional driver and guide he was able to give so much information about the island and its history.
I am pleased to say that I would recommend Nature Conection to anyone who is visiting Madeira, I very much doubt that you could find a company that could provide the same level and quality of service.
I know that on my next trip to Madeira that I will be booking another with them.

Great Day out with an Outstanding Guide - Ricardo proved to be an outstanding Guide.He was very knowledgeable and interesting throughout the trip. The trip itself was a unique experience especially when we went on forest tracks and narrow mountain roads with breathtaking views
My wife and I always felt safe throughout the journey due to the excellent standard of driving in a suitable off road vehicle

Great trip with Marie - Fantastic experience. Our guide, Marie, was friendly and informative. She made my son feel really special, letting him stand up for the off-road parts.
The east tour covered some spectacular sites, and the island of Madeira is beautiful. Highlight being the secret waterfall spot.
The only improvement I would suggest would be a different lunch stop, for something more traditional and affordable, which Marie said they are planning to do from this week.
Thank you Marie x

Best jeep tour on Madeira💯 - 100% recommend using Nature connection tours, very professional, friendly, fun day out.
We booked 2 day trips, to the North/West & North/East, our driver was and Marie we shared with another new friend from Netherlands Anneke.
Marie is a lovely lady and good driver on these crazy roads in the mountains of Madeira, she was knowlegable and good fun keeping us entertained both days.
We stopped at some amazing views and nice coffee bars/restaurants.
The jeep was comfortable a very clean, Marie takes great pride in her job and speaks very well of her boss Ricardo who we met briefly.
My wife and I thoroughly recommend using this company if you are planning a jeep tour ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Excellent, passionate and very comfy and attentive tour guide in his homeland - Absolute gent, made our day very special with our friends. We were on a cruise and Ricardo picked us up right at the port, by the side of the ship and dropped us well in time. He made the day very special calling at certain places to show us the real Madeira. He is very proud and passionate about his home land.

Fantastic 4x4 Tour through the East and Northeast of Madeira – Highly Recommended! - My wife and I took the 4x4 jeep tour through the East and Northeast of Madeira, and it was undoubtedly one of the best experiences of our trip! Our guide, Ricardo, was tireless in ensuring the tour was stunning, informative, and fun.
The jeep was in excellent condition, and the group was small – just us, a German couple, and Ricardo – which provided a more personalized and relaxed experience. Ricardo took us through lesser-known trails and roads, showing us the untouched beauty of the Laurisilva, one of the oldest and best-preserved forests in the world. We stopped several times to take photos and enjoy breathtaking views.
For those who love adventure, I recommend wearing comfortable shoes and bringing a camera with plenty of memory – the landscapes are simply awe-inspiring!
Ricardo, always very friendly and attentive, shared interesting facts about Madeiran culture and local biodiversity, making the tour even more engaging.
Tip: If you're visiting Madeira for the first time, this tour is a must. Not just for the adventurous side, but also for the cultural and natural richness that Ricardo introduced us to. It’s an excellent way to escape the crowds and really get to know the island.
