Trip Itinerary

Machico
Day 1-2
First Day - Arrival Upon arrival in Madeira, you'll be greeted by the beautiful island scenery, with its rugged cliffs, lush greenery, and crystal-clear waters. Settle into your private bedroom and meet your TripMates. We will take a stroll in our town and have our first dinner together.
2
Praia de Seixal
Day 2-3
Day 2 - 1st Surf lesson Today, it's time to hit the waves! Madeira's unique geographical location makes it a great place to catch some waves. We will join the best local surf school to learn how to surf or improve your skills. The island has a range of surf spots suitable for all levels, so there's something for everyone. After an adrenaline-filled morning of surfing, we will relax in natural volcanic pools in Seixal.
3
Pico do Facho
Day 3-4
The third day is calm, exploring the beauty of the ocean around the island. First I will take you to a beautiful viewing spot just around a corner of our house, where you can see Machico Bay but also Ponta de São Lourenço. We will go to a dolphin/whale watching tour this day. Unforgettable experience will be provided by local Wildlife tour company.

PR8 Vereda da Ponta de São Lourenço
Day 4-5
Day 4 - Time to Hike On Day 4 we will explore, the easternmost point of Madeira. The hike will take us to Ponta do Sao Lorenco where we can enjoy stunning views of Atlantic Ocean and both south and north coast. We can have a picnic lunch at the end. After hiking back, we will visit little black sand beach Prainha for a swim or some relaxation time on the beach before the departure.
5
Praia da Maiata
Day 5
Day 5 - Time to get back to the waves! This is the day when we will get even better at catching waves, perhaps enjoy different beach, different weather conditions and have even more fun emerging ourselves with the ocean.
6
Funchal City Center
Day 5-6
After surfing, we deserve proper meal and traditional refreshing drink - Poncha. Besides treating ourselves with our last big meal together, we will explore Funchal bay and picturesque Old town with many bars & restaurants and beautiful painted doors.

PR1 Vereda do Areeiro
Day 6
Would you want to see the most stunning sunset above the clouds from the highest peeks of Madeira? No problem! We can visit this absolutely mesmerising mountain ridge during our trip too! If we have some proper hiking enthusiasts, you can even hike the famous PR1 trail to the highest peak, Pico Ruivo!
8
Ponta do Sol
Day 6-7
One full day is completely opened for discussion. Depending on our energy levels we can decide if we want to fit in another exciting hike, extra surfing lesson, drive around the island for stunning Miradouros (viewing points) or just eat good food and chill on the beach. You can also take this day for yourself if you seeking some alone time. Other activities we could consider: Cannyoning, fun activity taking us to the rivers and waterfalls of Madeira. Coasteering Snorkeling Visiting Botanical Garden (These activities are optional and would be at extra cost.)

Levada Nova
Day 7
On the 7th day, we will do our second planned hike. This one along the Levada Nova, one of the island's most famous levada trails, which follows ancient irrigation channels along the edges of a steep cliff. Stunning view of greenery and the ocean in the background. It's not a challenging route, so perfect to stretch our bodies after so much done during the trip!
10
Ribeira da Janela
Day 7-8
On our last full day together we will also visit this hidden gem, beautiful beach with stunning rock formation in the ocean. After that, we will do a proper last dinner together in an awesome restaurant on the north coast.

Santa Cruz
Day 8
Departure Day - This is the day we have to say good-byes for now! By this time we would have made amazing memories together as a group, gained surfing skills and had a lot of fun. Sadly it is time to end this trip but keep our newly gained friendships going! (Drop off to the airport is of course included.)
