HOW IT WORKS

01

Get in touch
Message us on WhatsApp or use the contact form. Tell us roughly when you’re on the island and what kind of shape you’re in.

02

We find a day
We agree on a date. You either tell us a trail you’ve got your heart set on, or you leave it to us. Most people leave it to us.

03

We pick the trail on the day, not before
Madeira has its own weather in every valley. It can be grey in Funchal and perfect twenty minutes away. So we check conditions the same morning and pick the best option for that day, not the one that looked good a week ago.

04

Quick coffee, then we go
We talk it through over a fast coffee or in the car on the way up. Then we walk.

If you trust us with the choice, you get the best the island has on that day. That’s the whole idea.

CALLING ALL
ADVENTUROUS SOULS!

Leave the trails and get ready for the climb. We can take you to places that not even locals have seen. Madeira Hiking is not your typical tourist experience - it's the most memorable way to explore nature off the beaten path.

Hidden Gem Destinations

With this concept in mind, we intended to take hiking to another level, taking you to visit inhospitable but seldom seen places in the interior of the island of Madeira. 

“I did 6 walks with Marcio in May 2023 and for me it was the best way to explore Madeira. Each hike was different and every day there were breathtaking views, waterfalls you wouldn't have found on your own or distinctive nature as the hikes were off the beaten track."
