Madeira Walks

From all around the globe avid trekkers, walkers, hikers, ramblers and wanderers converge on the sub tropical island of Madeira for a very distinct reason...

They have discovered that Madeira island can be explored and experienced from within the very heart of the island itself and often with little effort by taking advantage of the world renowned Levada walks in Madeira.

The Levadas which are almost unique to Madeira, were started in the 15th century as a way of bringing water from the mountains to irrigate the fertile soil in the south of the island.
The irrigation channels run through valleys and tunnels, along cliff edges and mountain sides in gentle gradients which make them not only perfect for walking but also gives the walker a remarkable variety of scenery.

Levada Walks in Madeira

Join us on one or more of our amazing walks. We have more than 25 years experience and we will not only ensure your wellbeing but also provide you with in-depth information about the fauna and flora, history and little known facts about the beautiful island of Madeira.

Please Note: All our walks and tours have a tourist guide fluent in Portuguese, English, French or German who will accompany and care for you.

Please note:
We really recommend that you wear practical walking shoes or boots (no flip-flops :) and bring along a bottle of water and a waterproof. The weather can change quickly.
For full day walks we also recommend bringing a snack or picnic.
We would also suggest bringing a jacket.
