Madeira 360°: trekking and canyoning
The trip in a nutshell
Self-driven tour
This is a self-driven tour - it isn’t compulsory to drive, however if you are willing to, then please tick the box when booking your trip.
Madeira, the island where it is always spring, always blooming and always welcoming. This pocket of paradise off the coast of Africa waits to be discovered, which is exactly what we’ll do for the next 8 days!
Stunning views, lush nature and inviting beaches, it won’t be long before we fall in love with this island. We'll hike to the highest point on the island, Pico Ruivo and swim in the natural pools of Porto Moniz. We’ll also try our hand at canyoning, spend a day on the neighbouring island of Porto Santo and have a unique experience at the Igreja de Nossa Senhora do Monte (Church of Our Lady of the Mount). Then, there are simply no words to describe the The Floating Garden in the Atlantic, you’ll just have to see it for yourself!
