    A truly magical, once in a life time experience. Our group was an eclectic mix of amazing people who made this experience that much more special. Our guide, Dinarte was so welcoming, knowledgeable organized and motivating. As a native Madeiran, he truly loves the island and shared so much of this special place with us. If I could give 10 stars, I would. Take the leap of faith and book your next adventure in Madeira, you won't regret it. Thank you for this life changing experience and the opportunity to me new friends from around the world!

    I had a great time on this tour! Andre my guide was fantastic! He knew the area so well. He accommodated our activities based on the weather so that we could get the most out of our trip. The accommodation was excellent! Nothing special but the rooms were spacious and clean. Everything ran smoothly and was tons of fun. My only wish was that we would have started the hiking earlier in the morning.

    Hi Ghazala. So glad you enjoyed your trip to Madeira. Just the name makes me want to go there. Dinarte is a superstar and we'll let the operations team know. So! Where next? Kilimanjaro perhaps? Thanks again.

    My Hiking to Madeira trip was amazing and definitely lived up to the hype. This was my first solo trip abroad and I could not have asked for a better experience. Everything about the tour opened my eyes to this way of travelling and I am eager to see more of the world with a group of like-minded individuals.

    Madeira is a unique place! This hiking tour was probably the best way to get a good feel for the diversity of its landscape. Each hike told a different story. Oh - get a window seat on the right side of the plane when arriving and pay attention during approach/landing!

    This was a very special trip that I will not forget. I experienced Madeira in such a beautiful manner and I think that is because of the group and the tour leader. The island has so much to offer and we got the opportunity to see a whole lot of it. Because Dinarte would always suggest somewhere to have a drink and dinner in the evening, we also spent a lot of time with the group together, which is I think why we also had so much fun as a group. Overall I feel like we saw a lot of the beautiful island, got to know a lot about the culture and nature of Madeira because of how knowledgable Dinarte was and I got to know an amazing bunch of people.
