Fantastic jeep safari in. Madeira - We have just returned from a fantastic full day jeep safari entitled ‘East and Madeira Peaks’. Our guide and driver, Miguel, was superb - both knowledgeable and entertaining. He kept us amused and informed throughout the excursion. When we return to Madeira we will not hesitate to use Green Devil again. The roads and tracks taken gave us fantastic views of Madeira.

Amazing, fun experience discovering the island in a new way! - Amazing fun experience and a new way to discover Madeira. A bit scary at times going so high up but that’s part of the experience with the island. Our guide Lino was excellent, funny, and thoughtful. It’s clear how much he loves and knows Madeira. 100% would recommend going again — especially for a unique experience. I will do the full day tour of the island next time.

Fantastic Tour - I absolutely loved this tour! Jose, our guide just made it so special. He was really funny and knowledgeable and I lerant so much on the tour. I was travelling in Madeira alone and I have been on some tours which aren't that friendly but I really felt part of the group on Jose's tour. Taking a jeep is the best way to really explore the island and see the interior. If you're heading to Maderia, I recommend this company.
