* Delight yourself with the view of the sunrise in Madeira.
* Enjoy hiking across two of the most stunning mountains in the island.
* Contemplate breathtaking landscapes all along the way.
Join me on this program and discover the path that connects Pico do Areeiro and Pico Ruivo, two peaks in the main island of Madeira. These peaks belong to the Central Mountain Massif and offer some of the most terrific views of Madeira. Don’t miss this amazing chance!
First of all, I’ll pick you up very early in the morning and transfer you to Pico do Areeiro (1,818 meters) from where we’ll contemplate an amazing sunrise. Then, we’ll begin our hike across the Central Mountains, cross tunnels and discover dazzling views and colors. After a few hours of hiking, we’ll reach Pico Ruivo (1,862 meters) and finally walk to Achada do Teixeira, where our program will end at sunset.
Although the trail is not too technical, keep in mind that the ground is irregular and has plenty of stairs. We’ll face an elevation gain of around 300 meters. That’s why is important to have a good level of fitness for this trip.
As for the duration, the program will start at 6 am and end at 5 pm, with a total of 5 hours of hiking.
Take part of a full day hiking experience in the paradisiacal island of Madeira. Please, send the request to book your place and we’ll start making all the necessary arrangements to make it happen. You won’t regret your choice!
I also offer an amazing hike to the Rabacal waterfalls and forests, you can’t miss it!

I'm Gonçalo, and I was born and live on one of the most beautiful Islands in the world: Madeira Island! Since I was little boy, I dreamed of spending my life working in the mountains.
As soon as I started walking around Madeira Island's mountains and forests, I fell in love with it.
Whether you are an expert hiker or a casual walker, please get in touch with me. I´ll make sure you get to know the real beauty of Madeira Island.

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.
