Quad Biking · Funchal
How to choose
Both available options in Funchal operate with buggies rather than quad bikes. Local operator I Go Madeira Tours runs two distinct routes, each priced at 73 € and lasting 3.5h. Both outings carry an “Everybody welcome” physical level and depart from the same meeting spot. Your choice comes down to the terrain and sights. The first route heads inland toward Madeira’s mountains and the Laurissilva Forest, perfect if you want lush highland ridges. The second route targets the southern coast, driving out to the sea cliff of Cabo Girão and up to Mount Trompica. Pick the forest tour for mountain greenery, or choose the coastal cliff route for ocean vistas.
