About the trip
Madeira’s dual character reveals itself on this six-night guided tour by G Adventures. The route begins with a visit to Pico do Arieiro, where volcanic ridges rise above the clouds, offering a sharp contrast to strolls beneath ancient trees in the misty Fanal Forest. At the Dragon’s Tail viewpoint, jagged coastal cliffs stretch into the Atlantic, while Porto Moniz invites a swim in naturally formed basalt pools.
Days include a choice between a levada hike or an e-bike tour along the south coast from Funchal. The itinerary balances the island’s wild terrain with warm encounters: a lunch in a local vineyard in São Vicente, poncha sampling in taverns, and evenings with traditional music and dance. Small hotels provide practical, locally-run accommodation, and the group size keeps things intimate. It’s a mix of nature, culture and, yes, generous pours of Madeira’s famous spirit, served without ceremony but with evident pride.
