A great way to see the island! - An amazing tour! We all had a blast. Such a great way to see Madeira. Tony is an amazing guide and driver. He knows so much and he is very funny, keeping us all entertained. The lunch stop was at a delightful restaurant. The food was amazing (get the steak on a stone) and the service was attentive and sweet. It is a great way to explore the island. Make sure to bring a jacket - even in sunny weather!

Perfect Way to See The Island - Took this tour on 6 Nov 25. The jeep picked us up from the hotel bang on time. Franc our guide was extremely charming and gave us lots of information about the island throughout the day. There was a good variety of stops, unfortunately the pools at Porto Moniz were closed due to the large waves but these were spectacular to watch. Great to find the Witch's Tree in Fanal Forest and the off road section through the forest on the way home was the highlight. I would highly recommend this trip.

Great day out! - We booked this tour prior to arriving based on the reviews and we were not disappointed! Tony was our guide for the day, the pick up was on time, well planned out, very friendly and he gave us lots of local knowledge and quite a few laughs along the way which made the experience fantastic. We were in safe hands all day. All the stops were great, my favourite was the natural pools. lunch was great, at a stop called Jungle rain, lots of food choices, vegan and gluten free included, great and friendly service and food, set price €20 which included bread, wine, main course, dessert and coffee, great value. My advice would be to pack for all seasons, the weather changes across the island. A great day out, thank you Tony for making it extra memorable.

Great way to see Madeira - The safari was a great way to see many of the islands beauty spots in one day, a number could not be experienced by hire car. Staff were very pleasant, knowledgeable and ensured the the day was very enjoyable. We had an excellent lunch at a restaurant in the hills that we would never come across on our own. I haven't scored 5 stars because the safari was delayed departing by an hour waiting for four Cruise liner passengers who never turned up, the safari company should not mix cruise and land passengers as there is a high probability for delays.
