Shore Excursion - East Madeira Peaks & Santana

Great experience with Lino our "Crazy Driver". The tour to the mountains in eastern Madeira was super beautiful and facets rich. We can recommend it to anyone

This was the first time using this company and my last time! The jeep that was used for the tour I is for four persons and not for six persons. We were placed in the back of the vehicle on jump seats facing each other with no view! It was the worst and most uncomfortable ride we have ever experienced. The driver did a poor job of telling us where we were going and what we were seeing! Poor communication skills! We don't remember this tour!

So glad we booked this tour. It was such a great day, especially for my husband as it was his birthday. The humour, friendship and the knowledge of the island that Lino provided was first class. We have been on many tours of the Island, but this jeep tour was by far the best we have had. Great company and so many laughs. Lino isThe Grren Devil!!! We particularly enjoyed Lino's stunning ability to talk to the animals! Our travelling companions were also great fun and up for an adventure. Definitely recommend this safari jeep tour with Lino or Bruno. Thank yiu for such a memorable day. Silvia and Kevin. Xx

Ok the reasons you should avoid this tour. On April 27. 2023 on Funchal Madera we went in a convoy of 5 jeeps. 3 were fine having places for one passenger in front, three were in the next row and 2 seats in the back facing each other. However, there were 2 jeeps (alas one of ours) that had the seating for one in the front seat, 3 in the second and then had hard benches facing each other in the back where they stuffed 4 people, 2 on each side, without anything to hold onto seating on these hard benches. (the jeep was a tad larger but we 4 in the back were crushed together.) Ok, we are going up and down mountainous terrain, moving back and forth, trying not to move around without secure seats and in really cramped position for at least 6 hours. I know the guide--more on him later—had little choice but to put the 4 of us—one over 80 and 2 others in their late 70s as well as an overweight lady, in that back as the 4 positions with regular seats could only be occupied by 2 large men, 1 large women and a thin wife as the first three could not fit in the back. These guests felt so bad for us cramped in the back they still volunteered to take turns as it was obvious we had been put in a dangerous and crowded position—as we went up and down mountains with sharp turns and off-road. No seatbelts. We were in a jeep convoy, I noted that 3 of the jeeps did not have our configuration: instead—in the smaller jeep version the last 2 seats at the back for guests were real seats facing each other rather than 4 of us sprawled to try to find a space on a bench at the back. That would have been fine. So here is the luck of the draw: there were many great things concerning this trip, but if the owner continues to schedule 4 people in awful benches in the back of those two jeeps, beware. Both those in our jeep and others who saw the situation were—as we were—simply appalled. Now the great part. Our guide—Spencer Thorpe--was fabulous-- great knowledge of the island, fun and a fantastic driver. The lunch midway was absolutely top notch, the sights worth the trip. However, until the owner shows more care for those who book this and guarantees each person a real and safe seat, I would avoid.

Excellent day trip. Superb driver and guide. Diogo was knowledgeable and fun to be with. If we could score him 6 we would. Lots to see on this trip.

We had perfect drivers ang guides for a full day program! 2 cars went together for onroad and offroad experience, with a complete guide to learn about Madeira's nature, landscape, hystory. Our drivers was safe on onroad and fun on offroad. I suggest everyone to choose them even for a half or a full day program!

The trip was amazing, I recommend this for everyone, you get to see lots of amazing places and drink lots of local rums and vines. Also the length of this trip was 10 hours, totally worth it!

We took part in two tours at Green Devils Safari, the second we had additionally booked on site with our guide Spencer. His knowledge of the island of Madeira, his very good explanations, his good knowledge of German and the selected routes themselves motivated us to do so. Through the east and west routes we were already able to get versatile impressions of the island, all thanks to Green Devils Safari. A big thank you goes especially to the great safari leader Spencer. We can only recommend Green Devils Safari to everyone.

Really nice trip with lots of nature experience, especially at the end when we got up over the clouds to Arreiro. Good guide.
