Great for meeting people

Published on Dec, 2024

Pedro was an amazing guide and person. Even though most PR1 was closed, we still saw the stairway to heaven. The alternate route through PR3 was great.

An easy, convenient, and dependable way to get to something beautiful!

Pickup for this hike was right on time. Vehicle was very comfortable. Driver did an excellent job of providing information, making sure we had a clear idea of timing, and was there waiting for us at the end. A great service and the company made it so easy to go on the hike that I came here to do. Thank you, thank you, thank you!

Hike of a lifetime!!

Published on Nov, 2024

Absolutely the highlight of our stay in Madiera and the day of a lifetime! We had fabulous weather and the trails were in good shape. Do be ready with water and good hiking shoes and for changes in temperature. With PR1 partially closed we were given advanced notice and details of the modified hike. The coordination was done the day prior by whats app the day prior so having a cell phone handy to complete those chats was vital. Our driver arrived promptly, we made it up to Pico de Arieiro with plenty of time for the sunrise and enjoyed the trails PR1 & PR3 at a comfortable pace until our meeting time and a drive back to funchal.

Beautiful views

Published on Nov, 2024

The hike started out very cold and rainy but the views were definitely worth it. Our driver also gave us great recommendations for the island.

On a clear day…

Published on Nov, 2024

This was a great excursion. It was a clear morning so the sunrise was beautiful. The hike to Pico do Arieerio was great but a bit scary at times because the path is narrow. It was a bit crowded but people were considerate for the most part. The P2 to Pico Ruvio was closed for clean-up because of fires. The P3 hike back to meet my transfer was a very nice hike. The route was about 7.2k and clearly marked for going alone. A good path. Not hard, but not easy. Fun! There is a bar/restaurant at the end to get a coffee or beer before heading back to Funchal.
