West Island tour with Renato

We had a great experience on our tour. The guide, Renato had a great knowledge of the Island and its history and delivered this in a humorous manner. We thoroughly enjoyed our day and would recommend this tour as a great way to see the Island when on a short stay. THANK YOU RENATO!

Sunrise Tour at Pico do Arieiro

Emily_R, May 2026

Great experience with a...

Great experience with a really nice tour guide who brought us to some extra viewing points and walks that we wouldn't have been able to find ourselves. For the sunrise itself we were a bit unlucky with the cloud cover but it was worth it anyway for the nice breakfast and other viewing points. Would highly recommend!

Madeira Sunset at Pico do Arieiro and PR1 Stairway To Heaven

Kari_A, Apr 2026

Top sunset experience

Sunset delight! Highly recommend this trip- even if you are scared of heights (like me!) you can just go as far as you are comfortable with on the trail. Luis has tons of great local recommendations for the island, so go early in your trip so you can take advantage of his tips. My photos from the evening are magical.

Whale and Dolphin Watching Tour in Madeira

Sofia_P, Apr 2026

A amazing morning trip!

We had the most incredible trip with Luca & Manny onboard! Luca was extremely knowledgeable about the wildlife of Madeira & Manny was a fantastic supporting host & camera man! We were lucky enough to follow a group of Fin Whales and we saw several blows. We also saw a dolphin, seal & jellyfish. We also stopped for a swim which was delightful. The boat was perfect for the small group of passengers and it was a very intimate trip. We thoroughly enjoyed and would highly recommend!! Thank you :)

TravelAdventure, Apr 2026

Great tour!

I booked this tour last min was a little worried, but it turned out to be a great tour. I don’t remember the tour guy, but he was great and helpful. He made sure we know where we’re going and checked on us multiple times. It was really cold watching the sunrise, but it was worth it. Both hikes (PR1 / 3) weren’t hard to us. The directions were clear on the paths. Make sure to download the map before you go and bring a jacket or something to stay warm for the sunset. After 15 mins hike, it gets hot. Overall, it was a great tour. Highly recommend it.

Private Full Day Off-Road Tour in Madeira

Fiona_v, Apr 2026

Epic adventure through the west

We had an awesome day with João/John. Great personality with lovely stories about the island. We did the west side of the island and asked for mountains, nature and waterfalls. João delivered with an epic off road ride through the old mountain roads with amazing views. We managed to escape most of the mass tourism. The lunch recommendation was amazing with the best scabbard fish and espetada meat we have eaten our full time in Madeira. It is a long day for your driver as well so ensure enough breaks for them to rest as well. We fully recommend this tour! Thank you João!

Visiting local Vineyard With Wine Tasting & Lunch included

Must Do Wine Tour

Susan is a wonderful driver and tour guide. She went out of her way to make every aspect of our tour personalized to us. The tour of Quinta do Barbusano Winery was absolutely a must do with a very educational tour of the vineyard, wine tasting, and delicious traditional espetada lunch. We even went to the kitchen to watch our meal preparation and took a photo with the owner and chef, Antonio.

Madeira Canyoning Intermediate

Angel_H, Feb 2026

Would do it again and again!

It was the best excursions I have ever done. Was the first time I jumped from a cliff! The instructors were very helpful and always gave you an alternative if you didn’t want to do the “scary” stuff. I did of course but not everyone wanted to and they did not chassis them for it. Great communication and sooo fun!

Not for the faint hearted but we loved it

Madeira is advertised as a beautiful island of mountains, sea, valleys and levadas coupled with beautiful scenery. When researching how best to get a taste of all this we felt that tarmac roads and cushioned seats wouldn’t let us experience the true Madeira. Viator, through The Green Devils allowed us a true off road experience and we loved it. Thank you

Great way to do walking...

Great way to do walking trips on Madeira. Most are not circular so to be dtopped off and picked by people who have great knowledge of the island and up to the minute information about the state of the trails, etc, is ideal. My driver, Felipe, a Madeiran himself, knows the place intimately,clearly, and could answer any questions you might have. I'll definitely use this comoany again next time I come.

Sunrise Guided Hike PR1 Pico do Areeiro Pico Ruivo small group

Orla_P, Sept 2025

10/10 you have to do this hike!

David was a gentleman, very knowledgeable, a great and safe driver, accommodating of everyone’s needs and abilities. We captured a phenomenal sunrise and Pico do Aeiro and managed to beat 90% of the crowds for a very enjoyable experience. We couldn’t complete the PR1 trail as it’s partially closed due to wildfires, however we did not lose out. After descending, David took us to a beautiful village for a nice coffee before driving us to complete the remainder of the trail to climb Pico Ruivo -PR1.2 Incredible views and experience. Everywhere we looked was a “wow”. The trail was moderate. Would recommend good footwear - boots ideally or good hiking shoes. The pathway is excellent but it’s very undulating and when you’re tired it could be easy to roll an ankle. We stopped at the cafe on top of Pico Ruivo for a quick refreshment and toilet break before climbing the last 500m to take it 360 views of Madeira, above the clouds. Finally, after descending, David took us to Santana to see the traditional A-framed local houses from times gone by, before returning us safely to our accommodation. 10/10. Highly recommend. David was punctual, knowledgeable, kind, and a fantastic experienced local guide.
