If you’re looking for a unique hiking spot, then this is definitely the trip for you. Come with me and spend one day in the magical Madeira surroundings!
Madeira is a Portuguese archipelago in front of the northwestern coast of Africa. The main island is famous for its amazing natural areas and subtropical weather. These hikes will take place around Rabaçal and Fanal. One of the jewels of the trip will be the Laurisilva de Madeira, a very unique forest declared a World Heritage Site by Unesco.
On this trip, I’ll pick you up at 9 am and we’ll start our hike. The program has a duration of 8 hours, so I’ll drop you off at 5 pm. There are plenty of excellent hotels and different options for your accommodation on the island.
After the pickup, it will take us around 1.30 hours to reach the hiking point. On the way, we’ll make a stop near the sea coast. Then, we’ll enjoy hiking in a wonderful natural area where we’ll discover spectacular landscapes. For example, we’ll go across the Laurisilva forest and contemplate incredible waterfalls. Also, we may encounter some of the lovely local birds during the hike.
Although these are not very demanding hikes, keep in mind that you should have a good physical condition. Also, don’t forget to bring comfortable clothes and hiking boots.
So would you like to take part in this program? Then all you have to do is send the request and make your reservation. I’m sure you’ll love hiking across Madeira.

Climbing with guide Guillaume was absolutely a highlight of my 2-week Europe vacation. Originally, we were planning on climbing in the Calanques, but the park was closed due to wind and fire danger. Guillaume chose another amazing location (Pic de Bretagne) based on my climbing abilities and preferences and kindly offered train station pick-up and hotel drop off, which I appreciated very much. The multi-pitch route we did was not only fun but also the right amount of challenge, which I thoroughly enjoyed. The communication from the team (Gauthier) was prompt and clear—highly recommend!

Luis Silva was a great climbing guide and belayer! He taught me how to do moves that were difficult and encouraged me to try routes that were challenging for me! Because of his encouragement, I managed to complete these routes! I really enjoyed the climbs and completed 8 routes in the Sesimbra/Azoia area. The weather was perfect, no direct sun and cool enough to enjoy the climbs. Explore-Share made booking an outdoor climbing experience in Lisbon extremely easy. Luis, our guide, was fantastic, and the platform’s organization was flawless.

We had Léo as a guide for our day climb in Fonty. We were blessed with a knowledgeable, warm, and instructive guide. Communication with Léo and Ivan was smooth and swift. Explore-Share was excellent in arranging everything for our day climb. The communication was quick, and the platform was easy to use, making our adventure stress-free.

Patrick was a great guide. He took us on an intermediate Via Ferrata at Passo Sella. Renato was quick to respond with any outreach on the Explore-Share platform. The booking process was straightforward, and once Patrick was confirmed, all went well. It was a wonderful experience, and I’d highly recommend the platform.
