Review of Madeira’s 8-hour Jeep safari and levada walk, with Pico do Areeiro, Santana, Porto da Cruz, and Ponta de São Lourenço.
“I was solo travelling and was a little worried when I saw I was with other couples, but the guide was great at including us all! We went to see some incredible places, and despite getting sunburn (my fault), it was great fun and I would highly recommend it. The off-road part was quite short so couldn't stand up for too long but it was good fun anyway, I would do it again thanks to the guide, Miguel!”
Explore Madeira’s west coast by Land Rover, from Cabo Girão and Fanal Forest to Porto Moniz, with hotel pickup and local guides.
“Francisco was an excellent guide and extremely good driver! He was informative about evety location and answered all our questions. We covered a lot of ground in the jeep and stopped at every place of interest along the way. I would have liked more time at Seixal beach, because it was warm enough to swim, and a lovely beach, but we only stopped there about ten minutes and do just time for a rushed paddle as the other two guests were already waiting to go in the car. But overall, a very good trip and worth the money, recommended.”

His energy is contagious, and he creates a fun, relaxed, and engaging atmosphere from start to finish. Every moment was enjoyable, and it never felt boring for a second.

“Deffo recommended to everybody. There were some troubles with the booking through GetYourGuide, but Mauricio solved everything in the best possible way. He is a very nice person with loooooots of knowledge about Madeira, places, flora, people. A very professional guide and a very friendly positive person. The tour itself is incredible. You "get lost" in Jurasic World, very old fantastic forest but also ocean and cliffs and coast... You really feel Earth how it was before people, before civilisation, only wild nature...”
