First of all the trip leader Oriole was excellent and attentive, as was Pedro the sag driver. It was a great idea that Pedro also set a spread out for lunch every day. It was delicious and efficient. The itinerary was beautiful on the coast. Iiked that all of us went to dinner together every night. We had a group that geled. I might change the last overnight from the town we ended in to the beautiful beach town just prior to the one we ended as by the time we got to the end beach and leisure time was past.

Madeira was a gorgeous island. Our group leader (Filipe) was outstanding. Very organized and helpful... was great with the logistics and on the hikes, and really went above and beyond to make sure we all had a great time. The hikes were mostly fantastic. We were lucky to get to do the Pico Ruivo from Pico Arieiro (now reopened). The itinerary should have absolutely included the Vereda da Ponta de São Lourenço (which we were lucky enough to do on our own). The hotel Euro Moniz and Ocean Garden were great. The Hotel O Colmo in Santana was clearly the weakest of the 3 (good restaurant though). Overall a lovely trip, and will definitely travel with you guys again.

I had a great time on the Madeira tour. The scenery was spectacular, and it was fun to explore the island with a lovely group of people. Filipe was an exceptional guide who went out of his way to make sure everyone had fun. The itinerary gave us a chance to see the various parts of Madeira, from the spooky trees in the middle of the clouds to stunning mountain and coastal areas.

Wonderful week led by our excellent guide Felipe.Great variety of walks,peaceful levadas and some challenging ascents and descents with stunning views. Felipe was very professional and considerate to all our group members.His knowledge of Madeira was excellent. Thank you Felipe and Explore!

As an Exodus staff member, I had high expectations for this trip – and it exceeded them in every way. Walking the Island of Madeira offers a fantastic mix of dramatic coastal trails, lush levada paths, and panoramic mountain scenery. The itinerary is well-paced, with each day showcasing a different side of the island, from rugged cliffs to tranquil forests. Accommodation, transport, and organisation throughout were seamless, making it easy to focus on enjoying the experience.

The trip was amazing. The scenery we biked by was truely amazing to see. Our trip leader Oriol was really great and he took great care of us all. A little disappointed with some of the hotels we were placed in. They were all rated at 4 stars... I'd say the first hotel and the last hotel was a 4 star. But after that the hotels just went down hill from there. Over all it was a wonderful bike trip
