What to expect

Your adventure begins at Pico do Arieiro, one of Madeira's highest peaks at 1818mts. Here, panoramic views stretch endlessly, revealing deep valleys and majestic peaks. From here, the journey takes an exhilarating turn with an off-road adventure through the mountains of Faial. As you navigate the trails, you'll encounter a rich tapestry of biodiversity, where nature thrives in its purest form. Next, we visit the village of Santana. You'll find Madeira's oldest thatched-roof houses, which have stood strong for over 250 years. These quaint structures are more than just homes, they're symbols of the island's enduring spirit and architectural heritage.

Then we will enjoy Levada Referta walk through Madeira’s traditional landscapes, passing locally cultivated fields of vegetables, sugar cane and vineyards. Take a panoramic view over Porto da Cruz, the North Coast and the dramatic rock formation of Penha d’Águia, rising proudly above the ocean. This walk offers an authentic insight into Madeira’s rural life, with a strong connection to local traditions.In Porto da Cruz, the scent of rum fills the air as you visit a traditional distillery. Here, you'll witness the time-honored processes that have made Madeira’s rum famous around the world.

Finally, the adventure culminates at Ponta de São Lourenço. This rugged peninsula is known for being the lowest, driest and windiest part of the island, offering stunning views over both north and south coasts.

Levada da Silveira four-hour hiking tour
Activities

Levada da Silveira four-hour hiking tour

Follow the smell of eucalyptus and wild herbs as you hike along the Levada da Silveira. As you walk the 9.5-kilometre trail, you'll be rewarded with a canopy of greenery in the Laurissilva Forest before the path opens out onto views over the town of Santana. Other hikes on the island offer big, busy, dramatic experiences, but this levada is all about the cool, calm and more subtle side of the island, with fewer crowds jostling for the same view. It's a moderate trail that takes around four hours and is ideal if you're a nature lover who's happy with heights and a short tunnel section.
