Superb tour, extremely well organized
Superb tour, extremely well organized and safe with a competent and friendly team. We were lucky enough to see short-finned pilot whales (small whales), common bottlenose dolphins, and even a loggerhead sea turtle that was swimming calmly right next to the boat! The boat was super comfortable and there was a good selection of cold drinks on board. In short, highly recommended!

Great hike - PR1 Sunrise
My wife and I did the PR1 sunrise hike with David and it exceeded our expectations. David was a tremendous guide - he was very knowledgeable, friendly and helpful. We aren’t experienced hikers but he made it feel very comfortable and fun at the same time. The views were beautiful and worth the early wake up. Pickup & drop off were seamless and super easy as well. We highly recommend!

Incredible experience and super prepared staff
Truly a beautiful experience.
We managed to see the sperm whales and the dolphins.
Guide who spoke I think all the languages😂 he explained everything to us both before and during.
Respectful of the environment, they even picked up a bottle that was floating.
You can tell he loved his job.

Great Experience and Highly Recommend
We had a great experience on this tour! Our tour guide was super friendly, funny, and knowledgeable. He gave us clear directions and shared some really helpful tips before the hike. My wife had twisted her ankle, and he was incredibly thoughtful in explaining our alternatives in case we weren't able to complete the main hike. I also forgot to bring water, and thankfully, he had an extra bottle that he kindly gave me. We really appreciated how helpful and accommodating he was throughout the experience. Highly recommend this tour!

Great trip around the island.
A great safari drive around the island. Pedro was great, very informative and a great tour guide.
The thermal pools were great, remember to pack a swimming costume though.
The forest was a bit wet and muddy, so remember to pack well for that part of the tour.
Overall a great experience that I would so again.

Excellent tour of Madeira
Diogo our driver and tour guide messaged me ahead of time to say he’d be the cruise terminal to pick us up. He arrived promptly and our family of 6 were shown to his clean and comfortable minibus.
We wanted to ride on the toboggan as most tourists to Madeira do and he dropped us all at the top of the hill at the station. Diogo then met us at the bottom and we proceeded with the rest of the tour which took us to various viewing points with ample time for photos.
Diogo was an excellent guide and accomplished driver on the narrow Madeira roads.
I highly recommend this tour with Diogo.

Hiking tour with great views
The hike was fantastic.
Great impressions that the sunrise gave us and an exciting (we are not amateur hikers) hiking tour afterwards. Which was totally worth it. The views were breathtaking (so just one photo, so as not to spoil it too much).
Short tips from us:
- wear clothing against wind and cold (especially in the morning at sunrise it is miserable).
- however, when the sun comes up later, you have to be out and about in a T-shirt at times.
- wear good, sturdy shoes for hiking.
- you don't have to sprint. The pickup time is very well and comfortably calculated.
Have fun and enjoy nature.

Relaxed day full of beautiful places.
It was a beautiful tour of this part of the island. We visited several (natural) sights in 1 day where you can take a break before continuing to the next location. Miquel is a nice boy who can tell you different things about the island and the places you visit. As a finale, a wine tasting would have been certainly nice and enjoyable to experience.

One Day, one small slice of heaven on earth
It was a truly special day, the small group experience made it feel very personal, our guide Gino was warm friendly and engaging, he seemed very proud of the island, it’s heritage and traditions and seemed genuinely enthusiastic for us to experience the autonomy and authenticity of his home. Every place we visited he wanted to ensure we got the most out of the time we had. My only regret is we did not book more tours as this was on our last day.

Fabulous day trip in Madeira
Andreas is the owner of SafariCo, the tour company. He was a great tour guide, a native of Madeira and knew everything about it. We visited the Skywalk, Porto Moniz, Fanal Forest, drive through some bumpy roads through the middle of the island, fun day. I highly recommend SafariCo.

Awesome tour!
Luis was amazing! We had the best time touring this gorgeous island! Luis is extremely knowledgeable about the island and is willing to offer help and suggestions on what to do and where to eat/drink. The best day we've had in our 2 week Portugal vacation! If you come to Madeira, do this tour!

A great day! The tour was...
A great day! The tour was wonderful and having the roof off the top of the jeep was so fun! Be sure to book the levada walk when they message you so you have the QR code before it sells out. The walk is super easy, but so cool and the view is great! Even added in a secret location because we had a little extra time! Definitely recommend if you don’t have a car to check out these locations!
