Description

The beautiful island of Madeira off the coast of Portugal is an amazing place to explore. Full of natural highlights and the wonderful city of Funchal, it is definitely worth a visit.

On this full day hiking adventure, I would like to guide you on an amazing journey that will take you from the Pico Arieiro (1,818m) to the Pico Ruivo (1,862m), which is the highest point in Madeira.

During the hike, you will get to enjoy tremendous views. And the higher we go, the better the views will get. You will even get to gaze out far into the ocean’s sensational blue water.

A wonderful nature hike, this trek will allow you to immerse yourself in the lush beauty of Madeira. You will get to see countless types of flora and fauna, as well as any wild life that may decide to pop out. Furthermore, because we will be trekking at a casual pace, you will get plenty of time to take in and appreciate every aspect of the region we will be exploring.

Due to the leisurely pace of the trip, you do not have to worry about having any technical experience. Instead, you just have to be in good enough physical condition to maintain the pace of the hike.

Trekking through volcanic peaks on a gorgeous island is a dream for a lot of people. And if that dream is yours, send us a request and let us make it come true on the Portuguese island of Madeira. We would be happy to take you to its highest point!

Climbing with guide Guillaume was absolutely a highlight of my 2-week Europe vacation. Originally, we were planning on climbing in the Calanques, but the park was closed due to wind and fire danger. Guillaume chose another amazing location (Pic de Bretagne) based on my climbing abilities and preferences and kindly offered train station pick-up and hotel drop off, which I appreciated very much. The multi-pitch route we did was not only fun but also the right amount of challenge, which I thoroughly enjoyed. The communication from the team (Gauthier) was prompt and clear—highly recommend!

Luis Silva was a great climbing guide and belayer! He taught me how to do moves that were difficult and encouraged me to try routes that were challenging for me! Because of his encouragement, I managed to complete these routes! I really enjoyed the climbs and completed 8 routes in the Sesimbra/Azoia area. The weather was perfect, no direct sun and cool enough to enjoy the climbs. Explore-Share made booking an outdoor climbing experience in Lisbon extremely easy. Luis, our guide, was fantastic, and the platform’s organization was flawless.

We had Léo as a guide for our day climb in Fonty. We were blessed with a knowledgeable, warm, and instructive guide. Communication with Léo and Ivan was smooth and swift. Explore-Share was excellent in arranging everything for our day climb. The communication was quick, and the platform was easy to use, making our adventure stress-free.

Patrick was a great guide. He took us on an intermediate Via Ferrata at Passo Sella. Renato was quick to respond with any outreach on the Explore-Share platform. The booking process was straightforward, and once Patrick was confirmed, all went well. It was a wonderful experience, and I’d highly recommend the platform.
