Top Madeira Hiking Tours

We had a wonderful day with Nadia, she was very attentive, knowledgeable and considerate of everybody in the group. The walk was challenging, especially in the heat, but there were many opportunities to stop for a break and no sense of rushing so we could go at our own pace. The views are very rewarding and the hike was very memorable. Definitely one to do with a guide if you are wanting to hike up instead of driving.

Marco was awesome. He was knowledgeable, funny, courteous, engaging, and a wonderful spirit. We saw so many amazing views. Got to try pancha for the first time. It was truly lovely❣️ Met some great travelers and loved every minute of it. My only regret is that I had run out of euros during the trip, as I didn't plan ahead. I couldn't give Marco a tip. For this I'm sorry. Though my tip would be anyone booking this trip, I hope you get Marco!

The trip to the start of the hike was smooth and we got clear instructions from our driver Diago on how to begin the walk and the plan for pick up. He was really friendly and punctual. Great communication throughout the whole process!The hike itself was so beautiful despite zillions of steps! Would use this company again.

Our guide/driver was fantastic. Knowledgable, friendly and keen to give us the most out of our experience. Pack for all weather conditions and bring lots of water! Only negative thing to note is the car did break down at the end of the trip and the company arranged to have us picked up. This experience was the highlight of the trip and such a great way to see Madeira and avoid driving around the tight and steep roads.

Wow! Friendly guide and on time for pick up. Drove us up the narrow roads safely to the parking area. Took us up Pico Ruivo in the dark, we all were given head torches and stopped for plenty of rest breaks to allow for the altitude. The 360 degree view at the top was breathtaking. It wasn’t too busy either. Looking out over the clouds across the sea, but the view inland was protected by the mountains and you could see a dramatic valley with a tiny village at the bottom. We were given tea and a snack to enjoy the sunrise with. On the way back down, I had to remove some layers as the sun was out and the wind dropped once we were off the top of the world 😃 The group made their was down as different rates. So I often found myself alone looking out over the clouds. It was magical. Like I was on a different planet. Again the guide stopped to do a head count at various points for safety. The climb is about 2 miles each way and you do need to be fit - The altitude is not massive, but it makes a difference. I am half marathon fit at sea level and my heart was beating faster than I would have expected it to. This is well worth the effort. Literally a moment I will be remembering forever!

Fab little tour of a gorgeous part of the island. Worth it for the views at the first stop alone. We also stopped at a lovely little cafe at the second stop and indulged in some chestnut treats, including cake and liqueur. Our guide was very friendly and informative. All in all, a great way to spend an afternoon.

It was a truly exceptional experience! Luca and Chiara were amazing! We learned so much about the island and the marine wildlife and the best part is that we saw incredibly rare whales and it was such a highlight of our honeymoon! I highly recommend!!

We expected it to be cold in the mountains it wasn't. Lot of great photo opportunities. Never felt we were pushed for time. Renato was an excellent guide, certainly knew everything about Maderia, very very informative. The mini bus was new and very clean, but a bit cramped if you had long legs.
