Trip Highlights

Explore Madeira’s lush green mountains and diverse flora and enjoy a mild climate while you travel through the ever-changing landscapes.
Traverse Pico do Ruivo (Madeira’s highest peak) and the coastal trail from Machico to Porto da Cruz on guided hikes, led by a local expert.
Follow the Levada do Norte trail from Estreito de Camara de Lobos to Cabo Girao. Take in the lush valleys, small villages and panoramic views of Europe’s highest sea cliffs as you hike.
Hike the scenic loop from Jardim do Mar through Vereda do Jardim and Levada da Calheta. Wander quiet paths, soak in cliffside views and breathe the fresh mountain air.
Hike the dramatic Ponta de São Lourenço peninsula, where rugged cliffs meet the sparkling Atlantic, volcanic rock formations shape the landscape, and panoramic views stretch from sheer cliffs to hidden coves along this windswept eastern tip of the island.
Swim in natural volcanic pools, relax on nearby beaches and explore Madeira’s beautiful coastline as you unwind after each day's hiking adventure.
