We take our work seriously, but we also have loads of fun while doing it. So we love to laugh, make friends, taste new things, breathe fresh air, relax and unwind. After visiting, Madeira will always have a special place in your heart!
“Don’t follow the crowd! Have the courage to make your own path!”
That’s one of our strongest beliefs. Apart from the must-visit Places in Madeira, we will always take you off the beaten tracks, giving you a local taste of our home land!
Living in a small island gives you a very keen sense towards the importance of sustainability. So, we are very happy to give back too, that is why we are envolved in all the support local culture and traditions, as much as we can.

U.M.M. is both the abbreviation for Up Mountain Madeira, we are different, and so are our rare Portuguese open-top army style 4×4 machines, perfect for the offroad trails in Madeira, for a real Safari style experience!
Doing a tour with a small group is very different from getting stuck behind 20 + people – Thats why our regular groups have a maximum of 8. Travel Smart, and chosse a small local company over the big tourism companies that treat you as just one more number! Our project started in 2011 exactly with the purpose to give you an alternative to those! Broke our hearth seeing the many people who visited our paradise, taking SOULLESS tours, eating UNFLAVORED food, and drinking fake artificial drinks.. only a number between all the others $$ packed in huge crowds, ending up in the tourist traffic jams of jeeps and buses.
Wether you’re taking a jeep tour with us, a walking tour or a food and drink tour, or any other activity we always try our best to show you as much as we can. We’ll take you to the hidden local places and give you the true madeiran experience.
Even though our regular groups are small, we are able to accommodate closed groups with any size and duration, provide full service and activities itinerary during your group’s stay.
If you are organizing a group trip to Madeira and need the local expertise, you can count on us to set-up the best experiences and activities.

Well, We can give you some reasons why to use a small local business over a big tour company:
1. Local Character and Prosperity
In an increasingly homogenized world, communities that preserve their one-of-a-kind businesses and distinctive character have an advantage.
2. Community Well-Being
Small owned businesses build strong communities by sustaining energies contributing to local causes and businesses.
3. Flexible Decision-Making
When decisions are made by people who live in the Area and can better advise change something, its a lot easier to do in a small group
4. Job and Wages
Locally owned businesses create more jobs locally and share the money trough the people who need. Local Business
5. Entrepreneurship
Entrepreneurship, innovation and prosperity, a key for people to be able to do what we love for a Job!
6. Environmental Sustainability
We need to preserve our biggest treasure, Nature, believing that small informed groups are essential to reducing sprawl and pollution.
7. Competition
Small businesses are the best way to ensure innovation and low prices over the long-term. Monopolies are not that good for the customer.
