Excellent way to see the island

Steven_C, Jul 2023

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.

Jeep tour

We had a brilliant day out as a family. Our tour guide Hugo was just amazing. His general knowledge about everything is second to none. He was prompt. Will definitely use Green Devils again next time. I highly recommend.

Response from Host, Sep 2020

Thank you for comming with Green Devil Safari, and we are glad you had a great time with our guide Hugo.. We hope to see you soon in Madeira.

Bumpy, disppointing, painful.

michaelthemarr, Oct 2019

The guide, Juan, had excellent knowledge of flora and fauna. But his knowledge of English was bad. It was often difficult to understand him. Also there was no PA system on the bus, no microphone, so when we were driving it was difficult to hear what he was saying, especially when driving with the roof open and also off-road. The vehicle used was totally unsuitable. It was an old Mitsubishi 8-seat van with 4WD. It had little (or no?) suspension, the seats were worn out, it was very uncomfortable. For over an hour we travelled on bumpy off-road tracks, badly shaken. Anyone who did not have a back pain before the tour ended up with one afterwards. Lunch was good and reasonably priced (not included in the price) - the only good thing to say about this disappointing tour

Die Tour war toll....

Cornelia_O, Apr 2023

Die Tour war toll. Negativ war die Tatsache, dass es schon die 2.Tour ohne den gebuchten deutschsprachigen Guide war.

Die Tour war so lustig und interessant. Unser Führer, Lino, war ein super Netter und kannte sich über jedes Einzelne der Insel aus. Die Insel selbst ist wunderschön und echt traumhaft. Nur ein Tipp, vielleicht eine dünne Weste mitnehmen für die Fahrt, weil wenn das obere vom Auto geöffnet wird kann es windig werden.
