Madeira is an island full of contrasts, and this hiking trip lets you experience everything from dramatic mountains to subtropical coasts. Here volcanic peaks rise above the Atlantic, green valleys lead down to glittering seas, and the landscape shifts within just a few hours of hiking.
You hike along coastal levadas, through banana plantations, sugar cane and terraced fields, onward to small colonial villages. The tour takes you through the Laurissilva forest, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, past waterfalls, across open plateaus and up to the island's highest peaks at over 1800 meters. This Madeira program offers hiking every day, with a mix of classic must-sees and some more hidden trails.

Level and standard
The hikes offer varied character, from easier stages to more challenging ones, along levadas (irrigation channels) and well-marked trails. The program combines a coastal path at Boca do Risco, a summit hike to the island's highest mountain Pico Ruivo, and hiking along levadas and on the Sao Lourenço peninsula for great variation.
You can choose between two accommodation options, standard or comfort, breakfast included every day. Standard means hotels or B&Bs with 2-3* standard. Comfort offers 4* hotels with higher comfort. A simple, smooth setup that provides pleasant recovery after the day's hike.
