This time we are going with you to the island of eternal spring. Madeira is full of marvels, from summits above the clouds to scenic Levada trails, which pass through rural villages and forests. Volcanic beaches, cliffs, and lava pools. Powerful waves of the Atlantic Ocean. It’s a paradise for foodies and adventurers alike. The island’s volcanic beginnings make for a dramatic and diverse landscape and its Portuguese heritage and colonial past have created a wonderfully vibrant culture.
The harmony of all these factors will certainly make this trip one of the most unforgettable in your life! A great journey and a real diving into Madeira life awaits you. We won’t live in tents, but in comfortable houses where you can relax and recharge after a long busy day.
We will travel exclusively by car, which will take us to the most inaccessible places. It will be a real road trip, where we will discover new locations, get to know ourselves and enjoy every moment during trip. It’s a great feeling of freedom to be able to stop wherever you want during travels. Make top-photoshoots and shoot unreal road movies of your life. This trip, like all others – is perfectly planned. But we always leave a spare of freedom, a bit of unpredictability and adventure. We will visit the best and most top locations, as well as secret ones that few people know about.
Of course, as always, we will not tell the full itinerary in advance. However, to make you aware of what «F * cking amazing» is waiting for you,I tell you a little bit about our adventure.
Let me tell you shortly what awaits you on this journey and to keep the intrigue I won’t reveal all the places you will see so that you do not have any expectations. So your emotions gonna be more sincere. However, you can be sure that real mind-blowing awaits you because we will visit super popular locations and those that tourists have not heard about, which will add a nice vibe to our trip.
Day 1: On the first day, we meet at the airport of Madeira. After arrival we gonna pick up our car, stop by the store for groceries and then drive to the local restaurant for dinner and where we will get to know each other.
Day 2: Today after breakfast we are starting our Madeira adventure. Wewill go deep into the island for a few hours’ walk along the levadas “Levada do Risco” (leading to the Risco waterfall) and “Levada das 25 fontes”. Both routes lead along the Encumeada Plateau. In the afternoon, we continue the drive to the northwest of the island, to the town of Porto Moniz, with the obligatory swimming in natural, volcanic pools, where the water is regularly replenished by the waves of the Atlantic Ocean.
Day 3: Today we will drive&hike to the easternmost point of the island, to the postcard cliffs of Ponta de São Lorenço. A few-hour walk with the best breathtaking views on the island. We will walk along an undemanding trail with views of the rocky coast and cliffs on the left and right. In the afternoon, we will rest on the only original sandy beach of Madeira – Prainha.
Day 4: Let’s make this day unforgettable and try canyoning. Canyoning in Madeira is an exhilarating sport that takes place in a mountainous watercourse and to overcome the obstacles of nature we have to swim, jump and do rappels in beautiful waterfalls. This is an activity that guarantees strong emotions and unforgettable moments close to nature.
Day 5: Today we will hike to the highest peak of the island – Pico Ruivo (1862 m above sea level). Pico Ruivo offers a unique view of the island’s mountain landscape, the surrounding peaks, and the Atlantic Ocean. On the way back we will stop in the village of Santana. There are tiny, shepherd’s houses with thatched roofs that used to be typical of this part of the island. Several of them are converted into open-air museum. If we have enough strength and time, we will also take a cable car ride to the valley hidden by the sea and surrounded by high cliffs.
Day 6: We will start the day with a trip to the highest cliff in Europe, Cabo Girão. Then we will go to one of the largest and most important levada of Madeira, “Levada do Norte” to the Boa Morte in Ribeira Brava.
The nearly 9-kilometer hike is very easy and enjoyable, with views over banana plantations, fishing villages, and of course the ocean. In the second part of the day, we will direct our steps to São Vincente, the volcanic center of the island. The complex hides caves, crystal lakes, and corridors made of solidified lava.
Day 7: Today is the day when you learn something new. For the first part of the day, we going to surf on the best waves with the best instructors. For the second part of the day, we will do a small hike in Levada do Furtado.
Day 8: Last day in beautiful Madeira. In the morning we will explore Funchalu and afternoon head to the airport to catch a flight back home.
