Experience you’ll enjoy - Great day out We wanted to see as much as possible than just going on the bus , so glad we picked the jeep excursion , went on roads that no buses could go up , the company had a special permit only allowed for certain vehicles allowed to go up the tracks to mountains Bumpy in some places , as it was a track road , and some roads only enough for 1 vehicle , but the views on way up spectacular Did a few stop offs for views and to take photos , visited Porto Moniz , seixal, magical trees and stopped off for lunch ( not included) Overall a great experience and a fantastic guide , would I recommend, yes , far best way to see island where buses cannot get to

Fantastic full-day Madeira trip - We had an absolutely fantastic day with our amazing driver and guide from Green Devil on Madeira! Enia drove the 4x4 jeep – in fact, I’m sure many men would envy her driving skills. The whole day was filled with breathtaking views, exciting off-road adventures, and unforgettable moments. She made the trip not only safe and comfortable, but also full of fun and laughter.

10 out of 10 experience. - We had the fantastic Eduardo take us on a guided 4x4 off road tour. He was very knowledgeable, extremely friendly and professional. I can't recommend this highly enough. It was the highlight of my week in Madeira. If I could give more than 5 starts I would.

Perfect last day in Madeira - The perfect last day! Our guide, Gerhard, gave us a day full of unforgettable, beautiful moments! Started in a small local coffee shop, we went uphill off-road and of course standing in an off-road vehicle - action-packed with breathtaking views. Again and again there were exciting anecdotes about Madeira and also interesting facts about the vegetation on the ground. After a good lunch in Porto Moniz, we continued swimming in the volcanic pools of Seixal, a unique experience! Finally we stopped at one of the oldest Poncha taverns. Excellent ponchas - Exuberant mood. We can only recommend this tour to anyone who wants to experience Madeira in a great way & whites - Do it!!

Highly recommend - Probably the best tour guide I've ever had (Duarte), a very professional driver and knows a lot of interesting things about the island and its flora. He also excels at interacting with the people and keep everyone interested. Thank you for this excellent tour!

Superb trip from start to finish - If you want to see Madeira, the real -way -this is for you. A fantastic trip from start to finish,from start to finish. Lino, our guide for the day, was polite, friendly, knowledgeable and accomodating, from 9.15 pick up to 5pm ish drop-off. His driving skills were excellent as we did a lot of off road, his knowledge of places, history etc was brilliant. There is too much too write, but if you want a great day out, Lino, Green Devils safari were superb.

Best day in my life so far - I had the honour to join a tour with Dinarte. This guy is a present - not only for the company. He gave me not only the best experience of Madeira, but also one of the best days in my life. Thank you - also to his colleague Nuno! It was a pleasure to meet you! Doing a tour with this comapny is the best you can do when you are at Madeira.

We are in Awe! Trip of a lifetime - Our guide was so much fun and the trip was amazing. The island is absolutely gorgeous and driving in an open top off road jeep makes it even more visual and fun. We thought of renting a car but there is no way we would know where to go and even have the car and the skills to go off the beaten path. Take the lunch option, it’s delicious with amazing views.
