Discover Madeira's beauty on your own
You climb the highest peaks and walk along spectacular levadas - you will get to know the subtropical island on your own and at your own pace: from the bizarre volcanic landscape in the east, over terraced fields and original locations on the north side to the waterfalls in the green cauldron.
Although you are almost always in alpine terrain, the sea can be seen from almost every part of the island. Mysterious evergreen laurel forests covered with moss and lichens, turquoise-blue ocean and barren rocky landscape alternate with each other and provide new impressions every day that you can't get enough of.
We bring you in the morning in each case to the starting point of the hikes and pick you up at your end point again. The luggage will be transported to the next hotel. One of our travel companions is always available for you by phone.
You walk alone and yet everything is organized
You will get an unforgettable impression of the diversity of the landscape, the different character and the daily life on the island. Let yourself be enchanted by the beauty of the massif and discover the lush tropical vegetation - a unique experience for all the senses!
