Lovely off-roading - It was a very full on day! The day was full of nice surprises! Our 10 year old twins absolutely loved the experience! At some point we ended up above clouds!

4x4 Open Top - Would highly recommend this 4x4 trip with Green Devils. They purposely take you off the beaten track ( quite literally!) so you get to experience the real Madeira without it feeling like the usual tourist trip. Our guide Juan ( not sure that’s correct spelling) made it a lot of fun and was extremely knowledgeable. He went the extra mile to ensure we experienced Madeira’s natural habitats, even stopping at various points to show us the different plant species and the very resourceful way agriculture works in such difficult terrain. Especially enjoyed the‘natural massage’ along the way 😉

A fun tour to Porto Moniz Enchanted - It was a very good day. Dino, our tour guide and driver was great. He arrived at our location on time. He took us on a very enjoyable adventure. Another tour guest from the Netherlands joined our family on the excursion and we made a new friend. The scenery was beautiful and the 4 wheel ride up the mountain was fantastic.

Memories we will cherish for a lifetime! - What an unforgettable experience! After reading the reviews I expected this to be a day to remember but was absolutely blown away. Our host Dino was extremely knowledgeable and whole lot of fun. We visited some of the most beautiful places I’ve ever been to, and it really was worth every single penny we paid. We were also very lucky to have met 4 other people on this tour who made the trip so special, we really had the time of our lives. Thank you so much for creating such a fantastic experience - highly recommend to all and thanks again Dino! You’re a legend!

Be Prepared, good fun! - Good knowledgeable tour guide/driver and some amazing visits around the very beautiful Madeira. This is quite a full on day and you need to be prepared for some proper off roading and come prepared with decent footwear, a jumper, sun cream and water. The jeep ride is great fun but be aware it’s incredibly bumpy in places and the jeep we were in had bench seats at the rear where you sit side on to the direction of travel.
