Amazing full-day bike tour in Madeira
Discover Madeira in a relaxed and accessible way with our Trail Experience bike tour through all botanical levels with an English-speaking guide. The guide will take you on an excursion through the most beautiful places on the island and tell you everything you need to know! This tour is suitable for beginners and experienced mountain bikers alike, but you should be comfortable on a mountain bike and know how to ride it safely. The starting point is Poiso, the highest pass in Madeira, at 1400 meters above sea level.
Our guide briefly assesses the skills of each rider before presenting two exciting options: either explore easy single trails in the forest or follow the roads and gravel paths to the Levada, the traditional water channels. Regardless of skill level, each participant will find a suitable challenge.Our friendly staff will also explain all you need to know about the bikes and adjust them to your size, so you can ride comfortably.
Together, we glide leisurely at about 850 meters above sea level, covering approximately 25 kilometers along the Levada. The route takes us through picturesque laurel, eucalyptus, and pine forests. In the right season, blackberries, raspberries, and blueberries can be picked and tasted, while wild plums are especially delicious.
Near Camacha, we stop at a typical bar for a refreshing drink and a small snack (not included). After this break, we continue the tour, following the Levada through the colourful Camacha and tackling the last exciting 10 kilometers down to the shop on paved roads. Precise braking is required during this descent – a spectacular conclusion to an unforgettable tour on the breathtaking island of Madeira.
Due to the unique location and elevation changes on the island, you will combine different types of mountain bike routes. In a few hours you will cycle through fields, forests, over unpaved roads, over trails and through the rainforest, to end up in small villages. This is a unique experience, and an absolute must for mountain bike fans. During the entire tour, you will enjoy wonderful views of the sea. Of course, there will be enough time to take pictures and you can ask your guide questions at any time!

This is what customers say about this tour
6 rate this tour with 4.7 starsVery nice tour, mostly downhill and a mix of beautiful sceneries and some light technical parts. I had a fun morning!!
Begin route niet voor beginners. Te korte uitleg. Daar door geen gelegenheid om vertrouwd te raken met fiets. Sommige trails echt lastig zelfs voor iemand met ervaring. Voor beginners echt te heftig. Uiteindelijk wel met z'n allen een leuke dag gehad ondanks kou en regen
The tour was great. The check in at the local Madeira office was not OK. We had to submit our details all over again, whilst we did that all before through email and WhatsApp and once we entered the van to go to our destination, I decided to double check if they brought the correct bikes, which they didn’t. We reserved e-bikes….they didn’t load them into the van. Luckily I checked, so they switched them. But the bike trip was great and the guide as well
What a wonderful experience, we had a great time and wf would definetely recommend it of you want to experience the island in a different way.
