Drive off-road through Madeira’s UNESCO Laurissilva Forest Stop at Casa das Funduras and the Boca das Voltas viewpoint Admire views over Machico, Pico do Areeiro and Porto Santo Finish with an exciting buggy drive through mountain water pools
Explore Madeira’s eastern mountains on an off-road buggy experience combining forest trails, volcanic landscapes, panoramic viewpoints and traditional rural scenery. The Funduras Buggy Tour begins at the operator’s base in Água de Pena, near Machico. After receiving your helmet and gloves, listen to a safety briefing and learn how to operate the buggy before setting off. The first section follows the road towards Ribeira de Machico. Stop at a viewpoint overlooking Machico, regarded as Madeira’s first city, while your local guide shares some of the area’s history and culture. From here, leave the asphalt behind and enter one of the island’s principal off-road trails. The route crosses a high section of Madeira’s UNESCO-listed Laurissilva Forest, where native vegetation and endemic species surround the mountain track. After approximately 30 minutes of dirt-road driving, arrive at Casa das Funduras. Pause beside a natural spring, where fresh water filters through the island’s volcanic rock, and enjoy views towards Pico do Areeiro, one of Madeira’s highest mountains. Continue for another 20 minutes towards Boca das Voltas. This is one of the main viewpoints of the tour, offering an open perspective across the Atlantic Ocean. When visibility is good, the golden outline of Porto Santo can be seen on the horizon. The final off-road section adds a playful finish as the buggies travel through water pools along the mountain trail. The route also reveals views towards one of Madeira’s northern villages and a traditional sugarcane distillery. Return to Água de Pena through Santo da Serra, completing an approximately 2.5-hour circuit through Madeira’s forested interior. The pace is adapted to the group, making the experience suitable for beginners. Short photography stops are included at the principal viewpoints, and stops may be extended upon request when the schedule and route conditions permit.
