A fantastic full day - A fantastic, full day out with Dino as our driver. There were 6 in our jeep and we all felt we had the best guide as he wanted to take us on the ‘typical’ old roads as well as the off road tracks. He was very friendly (he seemed to know people all over the island!) but most important, he was a really safe and proficient driver. Thoroughly recommended and good value for the activity given how much we saw. We especially liked having time to walk a small stretch of a levado, swim in the sea pool and time to enjoy a leisurely lunch.

This trip exceeded our expectations and is a must!! - After researching prior to arriving in Madeira, we booked this trip for my parents birthday (we contacted the number when we arrived and arranged everything very easily through WhatsApp) We were all excited but a little apprehensive as we’d booked the northwest tour and didn’t know what to expect (I’m scared of heights and my brother suffers with travel sickness) We were collected from our Air b and b in Canico and Diego was a dream from the minute we met him, we felt completely safe in his hands and his knowledge of the island is exceptional, he was fun and kept us informed of the stops we were making, including bathroom and coffee breaks! We sat in the back, and my brother was able to sit in the front with Diego. When travelling to the start of the trip, removable layers are needed when travelling on the highway and first thing in the morning before the sun comes up (it was chilly in the back!!) once the sun comes up it gets very hot so the open top is welcomed and don’t forget a swimsuit and towel for seixal natural pools! We arranged to have lunch at a restaurant when we arrived in port moniz and Diego arranged this for us, I wouldn’t say this is essential as there are tonnes of cafes etc there and we had an hour and a half, but the food was lovely and very quick service which meant we could eat and explore before leaving! The whole trip made our holiday, we saw parts of Madeira we wouldn’t have otherwise, and learnt so much about the island and culture. We laughed all day and all of the drivers we met with at meeting points were friendly and fun, and there wasn’t a single thing we would have changed. I couldn’t recommend this trip enough. Thank you Diego for making it so special and looking after us!

Great option for solo travelers to see the island! - A great way to experience the island. Our guide was wonderful and made everyone at ease! He played music and i think it bad everyone singing to songs and doing the ymca. It was a nice touch.

The tour was a fun and... - The tour was a fun and interesting day with plenty of beautiful scenery and photo opportunities along the way. Our guide was extremely knowledgeable about the floral & fauna around the island and his driving skills were exceptional! We had ample time at Porto Moniz for lunch where you can also have a quick dip in one of the pools, although I'd suggest a separate visit to do this, if you can, as both pools are worth visiting. The trip included a dip at Sexial which is also a wonderful experience. The trip is a great way to see lots of places on one day & I'd certainly recommend it as a day out while you're here.

We had a great time and felt like we saw the whole island. - Didn’t expect it to be so fun and to see so much of the island. So glad we did it during our short visit. Swimming and off-roading were so fun. We did so much in a short time. The guides knew their stuff including where to park to avoid crowds. There was also a great buffet lunch (at additional charge but well worth it) at a nice resort we would come back to stay at. This island is awesome.

Very nice trip with some adventure - It was a very nice adventure trip where you can already see a large part of the island but also go off-road. All compliments to driver Dino, a very experienced driver and brings his story with a lot of humor and cheerfulness! Tip don't forget to bring rain gear/poncho

Verh old vehicles - We enjoyed our day out but the vehicles are very old. We sat in the back with the sideways facing seats, which were very uncomfortable. We could hardly see anything as the frame of the car blocked our vision. We would like to do the trip again in a newer, more comfortable vehicle.

Disappointed - We were very disappointed and didn’t end up going on this tour. We were 5 (adult) people and didn’t want to spend the whole day squished into one jeep along with 3 other people. Would’ve been much better with more jeeps and less people in each jeep.
