Beautiful discoveries
Even though the fog spoiled some beautiful viewpoints at the very top of the mountain and in the Fanal forest, we will still keep an excellent memory of this day!
We had an excellent French-speaking guide, Arnaldo I believe if I am not mistaken about his first name, even if he is not a professional guide he spoke to us and helped us discover his island, his culture, his history, the nature…and he is an excellent driver, if you do this outing you will understand 😉.
Bring walking/hiking shoes and a jacket, if you run into fog like we did in some places at 1600 m altitude…it gets a bit chilly.

Fabulous day out
The day started with a prompt pickup with our driver Filipe.
He was a local Maderian and was full of local facts and interesting bits of history. He made the whole day fun and interesting making the best advice available regarding things to eat and places go to.
His driving was first class and never felt uncomfortable or unsafe during the trip.
The whole day out was a wow with stunning views and scenery. Can’t recommend this trip enough you won’t be disappointed

Great experience! Cool...
Great experience! Cool views! Short bumpy off road section but a great way to see different areas. Possibly 6 people to one vehicle with one front seat, 3 back seat, and 2 seats in the back facing each other.

Experience you’ll enjoy
Great day out
We wanted to see as much as possible than just going on the bus , so glad we picked the jeep excursion , went on roads that no buses could go up , the company had a special permit only allowed for certain vehicles allowed to go up the tracks to mountains
Bumpy in some places , as it was a track road , and some roads only enough for 1 vehicle , but the views on way up spectacular
Did a few stop offs for views and to take photos , visited Porto Moniz , seixal, magical trees and stopped off for lunch ( not included)
Overall a great experience and a fantastic guide , would I recommend, yes , far best way to see island where buses cannot get to

Fantastic full-day Madeira trip
We had an absolutely fantastic day with our amazing driver and guide from Green Devil on Madeira! Enia drove the 4x4 jeep – in fact, I’m sure many men would envy her driving skills. The whole day was filled with breathtaking views, exciting off-road adventures, and unforgettable moments. She made the trip not only safe and comfortable, but also full of fun and laughter.

10 out of 10 experience.
We had the fantastic Eduardo take us on a guided 4x4 off road tour. He was very knowledgeable, extremely friendly and professional. I can't recommend this highly enough. It was the highlight of my week in Madeira. If I could give more than 5 starts I would.

Perfect last day in Madeira
The perfect last day! Our guide, Gerhard, gave us a day full of unforgettable, beautiful moments! Started in a small local coffee shop, we went uphill off-road and of course standing in an off-road vehicle - action-packed with breathtaking views. Again and again there were exciting anecdotes about Madeira and also interesting facts about the vegetation on the ground. After a good lunch in Porto Moniz, we continued swimming in the volcanic pools of Seixal, a unique experience! Finally we stopped at one of the oldest Poncha taverns. Excellent ponchas - Exuberant mood. We can only recommend this tour to anyone who wants to experience Madeira in a great way & whites - Do it!!

Highly recommend
Probably the best tour guide I've ever had (Duarte), a very professional driver and knows a lot of interesting things about the island and its flora. He also excels at interacting with the people and keep everyone interested. Thank you for this excellent tour!
