Great sunrise and scenic drive tour - I had a great experience with Offroad-Seekers on my recent trip to Madeira. As a solo traveler, I joined a small, cozy group for a sunrise watching at Pico do Arieiro and a scenic driving tour, with stops for short hikes along the way. It was the perfect combination of adventure and relaxation.
Our guide Hugo was outstanding. As a local, he had incredible knowledge of the island's history, development, and culture. He made sure to share insightful stories and was very responsive to all our questions. He was also punctual, and despite giving short notice, Hugo managed to fit me into the tour without any issues, which I really appreciated.
The small group made the experience feel personal and friendly, and we all had a great time together. It was a wonderful way to see the island and learn more about how Madeira has evolved in recent decades. The stops for the hikes were well-chosen, and the views were breathtaking.
Highly recommend Offroad-Seekers if you're looking for an authentic, informative, and fun way to explore Madeira.

Very flexible and knowledgeable - Hugo called to cancel the Dawn trip because the webcam showed the peak in clouds with nothing to see. However with limited time on the island I asked if we could proceed and do something else at lower elevation. We did an amazing morning seeing the sights at lower elevation. It wasn’t his normal tour but absolutely wonderful. His special attention and flexibility was exceptional.

My best tour in Madeira - I loved the day with Hugo. It’s a great ride for those who want to see the essentials and don’t want to get tired for hiking.
Accessible to all , we do not spend all day there so it is great!
Hugo was very available and allowed us time to enjoy each place. It was perfect and in line with my expectations. I recommend it 100% and I already scheduled a second day with him:)
Bonus: if the weather is unfavourable to attend the sunrise, it offers a refund , which is very rare .

A Magnificent Morning Tour to some of Maderia's Best Spots - I had an absolutely wonderful morning with Hugo, seeing a wide range of beautiful spots in a short amount of time. He was punctual, patient and very welcoming!
Hugo is a local and without ideal conditions can easily adjust to ensure you make the most of the experience. The drive itself to Pico Areerio and down is tailored to take you through different areas of Maderia and as we journeyed Hugo shared stories of the islands' history and development revelant to where we currently were.
This was the highlight of my trip! I highly recommend!

Wonderful helpful guide and fabulous trip - What a wonderful trip - Hugo was so kind and informative. His communication beforehand was incredible, including updating us the night before, and again at 5.20 am (an hour before pickup). If it had been cloudy at the summit, we could have cancelled then and got our money back! As it was, the summit was above the clouds and the sunrise was lovely.
To cap it all, I left a couple of things in his van, emailed him 10 minutes after he dropped us off, and he came into the centre of town to give them to me - what a hero!
Thank you Hugo. I'll recommend you to any friends coming here.

10/10 would recommend - the whole tour was perfectly executed. Hugo communicated very well prior to the day letting me know what to expect in terms of weather forecast, pick up time etc. Punctual pick-up, was very informative on the drive to the tour, letting us know all about Madeira and some interesting facts- he was such a lovely guide and I feel like he really cared about his clients. He did not rush - he made sure we were satisfied before moving to the next location! Honestly if you’re considering who to go with go with Hugo! I will be recommending to all my friends when I get back to the UK! Thanks again Hugo, you made my solo trip very enjoyable 😊
