Looking for one more person to join us on this eye-widening trip to an island full of colors and magical energies, Madeira. Sunrise over the ocean or on top of the highest mountain, beautiful hiking paths, getting lost in mystical forest, enjoying vibrant capital city vibes and local food, chill on the coast and settle our mind during sunsets and much, much more. Check the full itinerary below! I'm a passionate traveler, currently on a mission to spread the happiness in the world, the joy in mind & body via exploring different cultures and connecting to other like-minded beings. Since I stayed in Madeira for the first time in 2021 I am absolutely obsessed with the energy of this island. I would like to introduce it to you in my eyes. Are you looking to explore yourself, connect to nature, explore not so touristy places of the island? Let’s do it together! We will share a nice house together. The house has 3 separate bedrooms with double-beds and 2 bathrooms, located close to Machico, a lovely coastal town in a picturesque valley. We will have a car to explore the whole island during our stay, but this will be our home for the whole duration. Snacks & Fruits included in the price of the trip, for bigger meals I would suggest we do some cooking together or explore local cuisine outside on own expense. The price includes: - Accommodation (shared house) - Car rental - Petrol - Snacks & Fruits Sounds good? Let’s take advantage of this Hawai of Europe to the maximum, we will enjoy all the variety of the flora in different parts of the island.

Gabby is everything you can ask for in a guide - kind, warm, organized and adventurous. She plans unforgettable trips with a mix of cultural and outdoor adventures. When you join her trips, you feel like you are traveling with a friend. I highly recommend her!
First day, (Day 0) I will take care of you since you arrive to the airport. I will be in Madeira earlier, so I will make sure to pick you up! We will take it easy, gather everyone and get to know each other. Our shared accommodation is located close to Machico, a lovely coastal town in a picturesque valley. We will have a car to explore the whole island during our stay, but this will be our home for the whole duration.

PR8 Verada da Ponta de São Lourenço
Day 1-2
Our first full day (Day 1) all together on the island, we will start strong with a sunrise hike in Ponta de São Lourenço. Even though this is one of the most popular hiking paths on the island (for a good reason!), we will beat the main tourist wave by starting early. Watching the sunrise over the ocean with the peninsula in front of us will give us a good enough boost for the day! After we complete this hike, there is a sweet reward waiting for us on the way back, we will dip in the Atlantic Ocean & relax on a cute little black sand beach.

Boca do Risco
Day 2-3
On Day 2 we will do the longest hike of the trip, an awesome trail running along the coast of the North-East of the island. Awing views, beautiful greenery, blue ocean on the horizon. This hike ends in a town called Porto da Cruz, where we will take a lunch break, a bit of a rest before we head back. (Hike location is subject to change based on weather forecast or mood of the group, we can change the choice of trail if we like, there are too many options in Madeira!)

Seixal

Ponta do Sol
Day 5-6
Day 5 This day I am keeping open for discussion, there is simply a lot of option of what we can see & do. Options include, but are not limited to : a/ Easy day on a beach where we can do Yoga together, have a picnic, chat or read our favorite book. b/ Active day, choosing a trail to do and simply go for it and then reward ourselves with Poncha! c/ Experience day, booking a surf lesson or Canyoning and push our limits d/ Road trip day, want to see as much as possible, do you still have a list of places you want to tick off? Let's drive around the island in a day.

On our last night together, we will reflect on the amazing trip, whilst watching sunset at the west point of the island. Great viewing spot next to lighthouse, perfect to watch the sun setting on the horizon.
