Hiking, nature, and food! Excellent hiking adventure.

We did three hikes and three unique local dining experiences with Madeira Wonder Hikes. Pico Arieero to Pico Ruivo, a coastal hike along Vereda Do Larano, and an off the beaten path walk through Vereda Do Fanal. These adventures made our trip to the island memorable. Marcio and Jorge were professional, fun, and took excellent care of us, with no detail left undone. They set a pleasant hiking pace, and provided a great combination of natural and cultural history. The extra personal touches along the way were sweet and set them apart from the big bus tours. We even sang songs on the drive down the mountain. A big thumbs up for Madeira Wonder Hikes.
