About the trip in Madeira
Have you ever dreamt of trekking between subtropical forest and waterways, through terraced farmland and authentic hamlets, along volcanic ridges and cliffs overlooking the ocean? If the answer to this question is yes, then a walking holiday in Madeira is the destination for you!
An island in the Atlantic Ocean, much like a floating garden with its year-round mild climate, Madeira is a haven of peace and natural beauty.
Staying in 3 very different parts of the island, on the north and south coasts, you can explore the most beautiful corners of Madeira with your rental car. You choose the rhythm of your day: get up early or get up late, easy hiking or the more challenging, it is up to you! Whatever you choose, our hand-picked hikes will give you a complete view of the island with 2 consecutive nights at each stage to fully explore and enjoy the area.
The grand finale of this trip is in Funchal, with a free day to discover this charming and lively city.
Please note : if you suffer from severe fear of heights, please contact us to get more information about the tour.
For this first day, you have the choice between 3 very different hikes which will all give you an insight into the characteristics of this part of the island: cliffs plunging into the ocean, a particularly defined landscape with mineral crests culminating between 1000m and 1800m and mountainous foothills covered with a unique endemic forest, the laurissilva, a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
A water themed day awaits you today! You can either explore Madeira's longest levada, the Ribeira de Janela, or visit the Rabacal waterfalls on the Paul Plateau.

With your vehicle, drive to Funchal, the capital. A charming city built like an amphitheater around the bay, its name comes from the fennel ( Foncho in Portuguese) which grew in the bay when the Portuguese first arrived.
