Walking in Madeira

Walking in Madeira Overview

Lush levadas, fantastic flora and charming coastal walks on the sun kissed island of Madeira

Discover the footpaths and flavours of Madeira, from the rugged North to the delightfully sunny South, on this relaxed walking holiday; each of our walks will be elegantly embroidered by the fantastically colourful flora, flavoursome cuisine and a warm welcome from Madeira's friendly islanders. During the course of our week we will walk along flower fringed levada and through lush laurel forests, take picnics in quiet coves and follow coastal paths with sweeping Atlantic ocean views; we will also take the easy route to the island’s highest point, Pico Ruivo. Our walks are designed to showcase the island’s rich variety of landscapes and are sure to delight both seasoned and budding gardeners. Madeira offers beautiful blooms to admire all year around and, whether or not you know your Aloe from your Agapanthus, you are sure to be charmed by the island’s colourful and abundant flora.  Along the way we will stay in comfortable hotels, complete with swimming pools and spas, in pretty villages, coastal towns & fishing villages, where we will also have plenty of time to sit back, relax and soak up the year round sunshine. Much more than just a walking holiday, we’ll also get to discover the flavours of the island from the countless tropical fruits on display in the bustling Mercado do Lavradores in Funchal, or the slab of delicious honey cake in our picnic lunch, to the sweet and rich Madeira wine and potent sugar cane rum (best saved till post walk!). If you’re looking for a relaxed walking holiday, which will help you discover the real essence of Madeira, then this is the perfect choice.
