Madeira Hiking Tours

“An incredible experience from start to finish! The Pico do Areeiro to Pico Ruivo hike was challenging but absolutely worth it—the views were breathtaking. Our guide was friendly, knowledgeable and made us feel safe throughout.”

“Fantastic program, seamless organization; Alex, the tour guide, was funny, laid-back, and adaptable. The transfer from Caniço also worked perfectly.”

“It was an excellent hike activity. The guides were very professional, kind and flexible. They accommodated a reschedule request, which was very pleasing and comforting.”

“I felt safe and unhurried throughout the ridge sections. Tiago kept the group relaxed, adjusted the pace when needed and gave us time to stop for photos. The views across the volcanic peaks were extraordinary.”

“I had expected the Pico route to feel intimidating, but with a decent level of fitness it was very manageable. The descent at the start opened up views on both sides, then the gradual zigzag climb brought us back towards Pico Ruivo. We had time to rest and eat before the final walk to the pickup point. Tim was upbeat and encouraging all day, and I was glad I had brought plenty of water, a hat and a light for the tunnels.”

“I enjoyed the mountain day and found the route more accessible than I expected. My only frustration was that the pace partly depended on the rest of the group, so there was less freedom to move at my own rhythm. Even so, the scenery and guided experience made it a worthwhile way to hike between Madeira’s peaks.”
