We rode up to the top of the mountain on a rugged, rocky trail. Through wonderful scenery with a very experienced, knowledgeable and most importantly humorous guide. There were times when we were both astounded by the view, and we were able to see the island from a whole new perspective. Highly recommended ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Our guide/driver was Jose Zescaleipa for a tour of the west of Madeira.
The tour was amazing. And Jose was very outgoing and personable.
Can’t go wrong with Green Devil Safari!

We spent a great day with Miguel learning about the island and it’s history, and climbing mountains with a jeep :-)

We had a great day out, Miguel (tattoo) guy was a great host. He told us lots of interesting things about Madeira and showed us where you can have a nice poncha. I would highly recommend this tour.

Spencer was my tour guide and it turned out to be a private tour as I was the only customer. I was told that Green Devil does not cancel tours simply due to not many people. As I got canceled by other operators, I truly appreciate Green Devil's company policy. It was a LONG day. Spencer took me to many spectacular spots of the island. Wow. I was truly shocked by the beauty of nature wonders. The off road rides were rather bumpy. It was hard work. The air in the forest was so fresh that I wish I could bottle the air up and bring home. The north side of the island turned to be rough sea. Each part of the island has its own characters.

You really need to do this! The tour was save and fun with lots of great views. Also swimming in the volcanic pools was awesome.

Sehenswerte und stellenweise abenteuerliche Tour mit dem Geländewagen. Fantastischer Ausblick. Freundlicher Fahrer mit viel Wissen über die Insel.
