On this walking tour, avoid problems with navigation, follow a guide along Madeira’s more gentle walking routes, and enjoy sweeping views over the open countryside. With pickup and drop-off at your Caniço or Funchal accommodation, reaching the open wilderness is easy.

Unfortunately due to the...

Molly_H, Sep 2024

Unfortunately due to the fires, I was unable to do Pico do Areeiro, however, Nico was very communicative throughout the process and suggested another hike which was beautiful. Do not book with any other companies. I unfortunately had two other companies cancel for other hikes, both within days of when I was scheduled. Nico was able to get me in for another custom hike which was equally as beautiful. His guides know all of the secrets to the hikes I would have never know, as in different routes, not as busy of hikes, etc. Highly recommended them!

Response from Host, Sep 2024

Thnak youu so much Molly, the island is so much more than the areas that got burned so we have so much to do and see, far away from the burnt areas. Thank you for trusting us and we had a great time!! Hope its not long to have you back!! Nico

Out of this world!

A breathtaking experience from start to finish. Surrounded by heavenly nature during the whole hike. Every step was worth it. David is an incredible guide and person, encouraging the entire time. Nico is also a great driver. Had the time of my life. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!
