What people love about Madeira Tours

Great experience, beautiful hikes.
- Hiking in Madeira
A great way to see Madeira and enjoy the beautiful hiking and scenery.
Hiking in Madeira was a really nice experience. Madeira is a beautiful island. Climbing Pico Ruivo and Pico Areioro in one day was a challenge, but that's what made it memorable. We loved out G-Adventures guide Dinarte.

"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!

Demographics
Our 8-day hiking tours in Madeira blend active walks with plenty of cultural experiences, which works really well for solo travelers. They tell us they love how the days mix guided exploration with free time to do their own thing. The routes take you along those unique levada water channels and up to Pico do Arieiro at 1,818m – getting above the clouds for sunrise is something special. What makes these tours click for solo travelers is meeting other hikers while sharing local wine tastings, afternoon tea at Reid's and dinners in the narrow streets of Funchal's old town. The walking pace suits most fitness levels and our guides adapt the routes based on how everyone's feeling.
Our longer 10-14 day tours combining mainland Portugal and Madeira really hit the mark with senior travelers. They appreciate how we plan proper time to settle into each spot, with carefully chosen hotels and private transfers throughout. The days mix easier walks along Madeira's levada channels with interesting cultural bits like traditional tile workshops and visits to the wine lodges. What makes these tours work so well is the rhythm - active mornings followed by relaxed afternoons browsing Funchal's markets or enjoying tea at historic hotels. While avoiding the steeper sections, we still get to all the key viewpoints and our guides always adjust the pace to what works for the group. For those interested in December travel, our New Year's departures include prime spots to watch Funchal's famous fireworks display.
