Me and my family loved the whole thing the tour guide was brilliant (Nelson) told us loads about the island, the off roading part of the journey was awesome n the views to go with it were incredible. The lava made pools were an amazing part of the tour loved every minute would highly recommend this tour.

Amazing

Jason_J, Apr 2024

This tour shows you the beauty of the island.

kenneila_q, Dec 2023

This is one of the best island tours I’ve been on. You really get to see the beauty of the island and learn so much more. The views are spectacular and breathtaking, regardless of the weather you will enjoy this. We had a sunny day so maybe I am bias. Nunu was our driver and tour guide. He was well informed and very friendly. The swimming pools were beautiful. I would recommend bringing swim shoes ( I didn’t, learned my lesson) I highly recommend booking this door. Even if you are solo traveller you will enjoy this. I loved it.

Great experience!

Victoria_M, Dec 2023

Great experience! We both loved swimming in the lava pools and enjoyed travelling up the mountain. The guide was very friendly.

The guide Jose is very...

Zhengyu_Z, Oct 2023

The guide Jose is very kind and nice! It is very cool to visit the mountains with jeep. I really enjoyed the tour with friends.

Highly recommend!!

Natalie_C, Oct 2023

Jose was a great tour guide! Informative, thoughtful and funny. We really enjoyed the tour and would recommend it!! We saw so many amazing views and loved the swimming. He was also an excellent driver so we felt safe.

Amazing trip

Ashleigh_F, Oct 2023

Completely exceeded expectations. We had a really knowledgeable guide (Marco) who supplied us with interesting facts the whole day. We had lots of interesting stops including a swim in volcanic pools and a bar for some poncha. We couldn't have asked for more.

Exciting Off Road Experience to Northern part of Island

Stewart_L, Sep 2023

Enjoyed off road adventure, Anna's driving was excellent. Unfortunately the weather was cloudy/rainy up high, therefore walks/views were restricted. The overall trip was good.

Just book the tour!!!

tv9ykj87ht, Sep 2023

They have good ratings for a reason! You will not be disappointed! Thank you for a wonderful memory!

Madeira off road tour

lukeszarafinski, Sep 2023

Marco was a great tour guide. He picked us up on time, explained the tour and mentioned points of interest on the way. The sights were amazing and worthy of the bumpy off road ride to get to the top of a mountain - a unique experience in itself.

Best tour guide..

Mary_M, Sep 2023

Had a great day, our tour guide was what made it so good. Duarte your a legend. Xx The treck up to the top is amazing and the views were amazing as was the foggy forest.

Fantastic experience

David_J, Aug 2023

What a great experience. Just the right amount of relaxation and adventure. Duarte our tour guide was brilliant, very knowledge and unhurried. Thank, highly recommend.

10/10 Would recommend

Mia_H, Jul 2023

Our guide Miguel was incredible - very good driver and made the day a lot of fun. Our favourite part was the off roading. Would recommend this tour.

Ragged out Jeeps that are meant for 4 but will cram 7 people in with seatbelts not working.

Wesley_K, Jun 2023

7 full size adults were crammed in a Jeep meant for 4. The back seats were jump seats that were unsafe and uncomfortable. Two of the seatbelts didn’t work and were rusted. One being the jump seat. Can you imagine putting your child back there? Description didnt mention off roading. Driver flew up hill instead of doing a rock crawl. Jeep broke down and trip had to end without seeing the waterfalls of the main picture of the description. Could not hear anything the driver was saying as tops were down and had no speaker for the back. The very worst tour I’ve ever booked and would never recommend Green Safari and their ragged out junk Jeeps. Avoid this tour operator.

Response from Host, Jun 2023

You didn't book a private tour, they booked a shared excursion maximum 8 clients per jeep. In Europe all the cars are smaller size than in America and you have to accept it, its like in the different states of America the people have different sizes adn it may have influente. Our guides only saw you on the day of the tour, we don't know if you are big, small, etc etc, the same happens for example at the restaurants, 8 persons can fit in the chairs around the table, but sometimes the same table and chairs 4 persons doesn't fit, We check daily the seat belts for safety and its mandatory use on all roads in Madeira, otherwise the police will impose a fine on anyone who has not placed it. The belts work 100% and I can confirm this, what happened to you, is that the seat belts are original Land Rover, and are 135 centimeters (1.35 meters) long and did not fit, but that's not our fault. With no disrespect, but in general and as you know better than me, Americans are people of greater structure compared to European people, that's why cars in America are also bigger compared with the European cars. The jeep only broke down at the last 20 minutes (3:10pm) 4 kilometers from the cruise dock when we were passing Camara de Lobos. The excursion was cutted only in timmings because you were in a hurry to get to the cruise ship at 15:30, but we passed at all the places mentioned including the photo on the with the cave, the waterfalls in São Vicente its on the way, at the main road, if you are on holidays, instead of beying all the time on the phone, please open the eyes and enjoy the views, so you won’t miss anything, the other 76 that did the same excursion passed at the same places and they saw everything as planed. It makes some sense, and we don't have to be cleaver about it, but if you've booked a 4x4 jeep tour, that means we're going to be driving off road, that's what it means 4WD four whell drive , right? if we weren't going to do of the beaten track we wouldn't need a 4x4 jeep right? You have to understand that in Europe and Portugal there is many restrictions, and we are not allowed to have extra large jeeps/4x4 SUV with 2.5 meters weight as you have in USA, our roads are much smaller and narrow, our roads doesn't fit the USA Dodge, Cadillac, or Hummer, they are too wide. Regarding the jeeps, they are Land Rover Discovery 7 seats the maximum capacity is 6 customers (+ 1 driver, total 7) . As for the configuration of the jeeps, You can't blame us, we just run a company, we organize tours to give the best experience in Madeira, it's not fault Green Devil Safari, neither of ours guides, none of us are engineers or car builders. Land Rovers were manufactured in England, millions of cars were produced and sold all over the world, and many were seen in races such as Paris - Dakar, Camel Trophy etc. Before a car manufacturer can produce and sell a car in series, many steps and compliances are necessary according to the countries where they will be exported. Green Devil Safari has nothing to do with this, we don't produce cars. That's why there are designers, planners, crash tests, resistance tests and passenger safety. Approvals are made, verified and approved in the European Union. Green Devil Safari has nothing to do with this, we don't produce cars. The World Manufacturer Identifier (WMI) is a code assigned to each vehicle manufacturer that allows its identification worldwide. A manufacturer, by associating the respective WMI with the remaining elements of the chassis number of the vehicles it produces, can assign each vehicle a unique identification at world level, with a standardized structure. According to Directive 76/114/EEC, as last amended by Directive 78/507/EEC, in the European Union all vehicles built by a manufacturer must present the chassis number with the standardized structure. The approval process is regulated by Framework Directives (2007/46 in the case of motor vehicles and 2002/24/EC for two- and three-wheel vehicles) which establish the entire administrative approval process. These directives, in turn, make reference to the different regulatory acts that must be complied with and that establish the technical requirements that motor vehicles must comply with so that they can travel on public roads safely. Among UNECE Directives and Regulations, there are more than 250 different references that cover practically all systems, components and technical units that are part of a vehicle.

Good and positive guide ...

Yevheniia_H, Jun 2023

Good and positive guide We liked the way through the eucalyptus 😍 And especially fanal forest 🌳 thank you

Amazing off-roading experience!

Sasha_C, Apr 2023

This was an amazing experience! We loved the off-roading so much and the views were incredible of Porto Moniz. The only thing we would have changed was staying a little longer at each place. However, we highly recommend this tour especially for the off-roading piece, it was a truly incredible experience. The weather in April was also terrific! Oh and sit in the back trunk seats to be able to stand up.

Explore a big part of the island in one day

Hussein_H, Apr 2023

This was a great way to see many parts of the island in one day. Specifically the off-road drive was fun and we drove trough beautiful scenery. If you want to see the northwestern part in one day this trip is highly recommended

Great tour of north-west Madeira

Sue_C, Mar 2023

Enjoyed the trip. Saw parts of Madeira we wouldn’t have seen on our own. Unfortunately the weather was misty at height so we didn’t get the views from the top but still enjoyed the off road section

Don’t miss this trip! So much fun :-)

Sarah_S, Jan 2023

Absolutely brilliant trip with Duarte our guide, who was so knowledgeable about all the flora and fauna and - importantly - a very good driver! There were so many interesting stops and the off-roading was so much fun! The black sand beach was beautiful to walk on. Highly recommended and if/when I return to Madeira I would happily book the same trip. As an aside, I managed to leave my phone in the Land Rover but they got it back to me very quickly and with no fuss. Thank you so much!

Great experience

Jim_V, Jan 2023

Great trip, Duarte was very interesting. Saw some amazing views all across the island. One of our favorite experiences on this trip.
