Travel via Poiso to Pico do Arieiro, then descend to Ribeiro Frio's Laurissilva Forest and trout nursery on this east-side jeep route.

A short walk is included; a swimming stop depends on good weather, and lunch is extra. 4.65 from 46 reviews at €65 per person for 8h.

In our comparison: #59 of 66 in Jeep & 4x4 Tours, by rating weighted by review volume (see the comparison).
