Additional Information
Embark on an open-top 4x4 journey to Madeira’s southwest. Navigate the aged pathways as your guide introduces you to the hamlet of Campanário, known for its commanding terraces and sheer drop-offs. Ascend to Paúl da Serra, located at an altitude of 1500 meters, and marvel at the rocks shaped by volcanic activity and time-wrought erosion. Behold landscape conserved by decades of rural foot traffic as villagers transported goods and livestock across the Island.
Further along this journey, we will pull over at Fonte do Bispo & Prazeres, where you can gaze upon profound and stunning beauty. Discover valleys cloaked under a lush green canopy leading to Madeira’s warmer southwest region. Pass through the fishing towns of Paul do Mar, Jardim do Mar, take in waterfalls and observe banana plantations.

Lido and Gulia were awesome! - We booked two tours with green devil safari and both of them were super fun! The First one was wirh Giulia, she was so nice and the tour was amazing. The Second one was with Lido and he was so awesome!! Super fun and a little crazy guy, but we loved it. I can only recommend the tours with them and we will certainly book trips with green devil when we come back to Madeira

An amazing experience with a superb tour guide. - Amazing tour, seeing everything the wonderful island of Madeira has to offer. Our guide José was amazing, he reeled off endless stories and facts about the sights and places we were passing and stopped for numerous fruit breaks where we could pick from fruit from the trees to eat and he was a brilliant photographer on the scenic stops. The jeep was brilliant, an unforgettable experience. José made our tour brilliant and the sights and experiences were breathtaking. Will be recommending this tour to anyone who goes to Madeira. Diolch yn fawr! 🏴

The best surprise ever! - Absolutely amazing experience! Hardly recommended! My tour guide Lino was the best guide. He explained to us so many things about the island, answered all our questions. We had so much fun with his crazy driving especially on the off side roads.
I have done many tours with Green Devil around the island and this one was one of the best!

Great way to explore the southwest of Madeira - Lino was promp picking us up for a fun journey up into the hills and cliffs of Madeira. We made several stops in various villages throughout the trip and were given ample time to explore. Lunch was not included in the pricing but an option was provided which all guests accepted (Taskinha Da Calheta Prazeres ) and it was by far the best touring meal we have had. The jeep massages on the back roads were great and we were well entertained by Lino’s wealth of information, humor and great attitude.

Excellent day tour. - Excellent day trip, by going off road you get to see and learn about parts of the island away from the holiday spots. Hugo is a great and knowledgable guide as well as a excellent off road driver. Highly recommended.

To do but it all depends on your guide - If you like 4*4 rides on rocky and dusty tracks you will be delighted by the landscapes crossed but be careful the vehicles have between 300 and 750,000 km.
This excursion was not at the level of the previous one because Pedro the driver who normally also acts as a guide did not exert his talent on the explanations in French (very good driver by the way)
