“I was very impressed with this company, we were given clear information. I had questions before the trip which were answered almost immediately. The bus arrived on time and departed within 10 minutes of the scheduled time. The walk was quite hard in parts but absolutely beautiful. I believe the trail is closed for now due to forest fires. We staying in the Lido area and the journey took 1h30m both ways. The bus picks you up and drops you off in the same order. All in all, a great company that I'm happy to recommend.Read more”

On our next visit to Madeira, we will definitely look for them again. We thank them this way for the beautiful experience they created and the unforgettable memories. PS: I believe that the guide name is Niko”
A guided Madeira cliff hike from Machico to Porto da Cruz with ocean views, São Lourenço Peninsula sightings, and Funchal pickup.
“Really good experience. Stunning views on the ocean and the cliffs. Our guide, Charlotte, was really nice and took good care of the group. The hike is manageable providing you have good shoes and a reasonable health. It is not too demanding but the path has a couple of slightly trickier bits that require a good mobility. I would not recommend if you are really afraid of heights, but suffering myself from mild vertigo, I did not experience any issue. It was an overall great experience, giving a nice sample of Madeira's North East coast.”
