3rd safari in Madeira and definitely the best. Thank you to Miguel for making it just as fun for the kids. Kira and Alex loved every minute. It was a Land Rover Discovery but this one unlike other safaris actual had an open roof so we enjoyed the off roading to it's fullest.

Excellent way to really get a feel for the island. Be sure to bring or wear a bathing suit and enjoy the pools of water. Nice lunch stop also. Count the number of tunnels, amazing.

Listen up folks! If you are tired of not knowing which tour to choose, stop looking because in my experience this is the FIRST one you need - in case you do others. Our friendly, or should I say outstanding tour guide Dinarte was thoughtful, engaging, passionate, overwhelmingly helpful and always, I mean always, trying to please us, his customers. You have to see, feel and experience it to believe it. There will be no other tour guide that can match his knowledge and dedication. You're welcome!

Dinarte was an amazing guide. Me my fiancée and my parents went on the trip on Christmas Eve and it was a Christmas Eve we will never forget. He was so friendly and very knowledge about the local area and took great pride in providing us with lots of facts and information. We had many stops at many beautiful places and really felt like we saw the authentic side to Madeira. Would 100% recommend! Thanks again!

We just got back from the tour and it was beyond great! Beautiful vistas and awesome enviorments! Standing on top a mountian looking down at the clouds was a sight to behold! And the offroad parts (aka Madeiran massage) was super fun as well! We went to several places on the northwest side of the northwest part of the Island. We started from our hotel in Funchal and went on to the lookout spot in Ribeira Brava to take a leg stretch and watch the sea. After that we went on to a little café a bit further in the Island were we got something to drink. After that it was offroad all the way up a mountain that i sadly dont remember the name of. On top of the mountain we had an unbeliveable view over the clouds. A lot of birds, mainly falcons and swifts, there were also cows up there as well. We then went on to drive through Paul da serra and ended up in the magical Laursilva forest were the fog made it look like something straight out of lord of the rings! We then headed to Porto Moniz to have lunch and swin in the volcanic pools. After this we went to Sexial beach (with the black sand) for a short stop. And lastly we went to look at some beautiful waterfalls. By the last stop there was also a souvernier shop/bar were we tried Poncha, a local famous Madeirian drink. Then, sadly we had to go back Funchal. But it was such an incredible experience that i would recommend anyone thats visiting Madeira. Just remeber that the offroad part gets REALLY bumpy. Our guide Elias, was top class! Super nice guy with great knowledge of the Island and the culture. Someone give that guy a raise! :D All in all, if you want to discover parts of the Island you normally wouldnt go to, and get some understanding of Madeiras culture and history, this is for you!

We had a lot of fun with Lino! He is an amazing driver, a brilliant guide, he knows a lot about Madeira, about local flora and fauna. We also ate dinner together, it was delicious and also a great experience to talk outside the car with Lino :) "Madeiran massage"/offroad is pretty rough, however the views are outstanding and they reward not so easy path to them. The day was perfect :)

We met Lino in the morning whom instantly had us laughing. The whole trip with him was a joy and he gave us facts and stories which built on each other during the whole trip. Excellent mood, storyteller and driver!! When we entered the uphill roads he removed the rooftop and had us standing in the car, which was a blast! We booked another trip with Green Devil Safari instantly. This was much more value than renting our own car because we would never be able to drive those roads.
