Stunning panoramic views
Whale watching and canoeing
Swimming at the beach

The lush volcanic island of Madeira sits in the Atlantic Ocean and its sub-tropical climate all year round makes it an ideal outdoor activity destination. Known as 'The Island of Eternal Springs', there is a wealth of natural beauty to explore with over 1,000 miles of small canals known as 'levadas' acting as superb walkways through the mountainous landscape. Our walks take us to some of the highest peaks of the island, the spectacular meeting of 25 waterfalls and one of the last untouched places in Europe - Ponta de São Lourenço. After enjoying stunning panoramic views of the Atlantic we take to the ocean with a whale watching trip and canoeing adventure off the coast from Funchal.
