Description

Embark on this shore excursion and visit the best places at the NorthWest oF Madeira in a 4x4 vehicle with a open top roof. We will take you to the Western part of Madeira passing thru deep valleys, taking you up to 1500 meters high. You will get information and history about the views, native forest, fauna flora, meet the madeiran water aqueducts "levadas" and learn more about them. Please bring some comfortable shoes as we may have a 15 minutes walk to learn more about the "levadas". We will pass the Madeira plateau, the only flat area in this island, and then drive to Porto Moniz where you will visit the vulcanic lava pools. If the weather slows, you can swim at the volcanic polls. The lunch is optional, and has a cost of €12.00 per person for a 3 meal course with beverage and coffee. On the way back, you will have stunning views cliff's and waterfalls, and we will have a stop where you can try our famous "nectar" poncha, one of our local drinks.

An adventure!

Excellent walk! The guide Fábio is very attentive and fun with young people and other tourists who were with us. I found very interesting his approach to the Madeira botany in the mountains and the interpersonal relationship he made with us and the other couple. Thank you!

A fantastic variety tour of the North West

What a tour! Upon meeting our guide, Lino, I knew I was in safe hands. Local knowledge, great driver, awesome facts and funny too! The tour itself had huge variety, from off-roading, to swimming, all through stunning Madeira landscapes. We had a young child too who was engaged the whole way (until the well deserved nap on the way home). Would definitely reccomend this tour, especially if you're travelling along (female) like me and want to see more of the Island. Picked up from the road next to my lodge, and dropped off 9 hours later!

Very dependent on the driver

The tour started much earlier than planned and ended much earlier. At many stops we just drove past without stopping. In between we had a tyre breakdown and had to wait almost an hour for tools to change the tyre. Other groups with other drivers were on the road much longer, stopped at more stops and even overstayed the time and made an extra stop in a poncha bar. Our driver was unfortunately very unmotivated and wanted to get home quickly. Green Devil Tours did not respond to my email, no apology.

Unforgettable Safari with Dino

Found this excursion by chance on the waterfront in Funchal. Speak a little French. Our guide Dino was just great and unforgettable, of great kindness, very smiling and a lot of humor!!!I wish you to come across him! Visit from our hotel in Caniço at no extra charge. The 4×4 Land rover is old but comfortable.visit Fanal forest, viewpoint in the mountains, Unesco classified forest, high plain, several stops towards Porto Moniz, Seixal beach. We ate at the restaurant on Porto Moniz for 20€/person and very good.on the return discussing Dino offered us to see Cabo Girao as we had not done , super nice of him. In short I highly recommend. PS: don't panic Dino takes a lot of shortcuts (a real safari)

An unforgettable experience!!!

I had the most incredible time doing this tour, one of my favourite ever experiences. For the tour myself and my mum were joined by 4 other people and our tour guide. During the tour we visited many breathtaking locations from mountains to waterfalls and natural pools. I particularly enjoyed going off- road when going up the mountains and the hidden locations we visited. Although, the part that made it so brilliant was our tour guide Dino, who was incredibly passionate, full of knowledge but also hilarious. He knew the island so well and ensured everyone was safe ,looked after and having a great time. There is designated time for food, swimming and exploring. The experience was thrilling and i was one hundred per event recommend this to anyone visiting the island!!!
