Things to do in Madeira

Levada walks

Discover Madeira's famous levada walks. They take you through the UNESCO-protected Laurisilva forest, with its waterfalls and wild flowers, past mountains and green valleys to the dramatic coastline. The levadas were built centuries ago so that locals could reach their watercourses; today they are an unforgettable way to explore the island.

Canyoning

Leap, swim and abseil your way down Madeira's rivers. Madeira is one of the best places in the world for this sport. You need to be able to swim, but no canyoning experience is required.

Big game fishing

Take on the fishing challenge of a lifetime: marlin, wahoo, tuna, shark, broadbill swordfish, amberjack, dorado, bluefish and barracuda. The boat is also available for private charter for dolphin and whale watching, scenic trips and sunset cruises.

Dolphin and whale watching

Join marine biologists on a specialist whale and dolphin trip. If you don't see them, the second trip is free. If you have always dreamt of swimming with wild dolphins, that can be arranged too.

Horse riding

What better way to explore Madeira's natural beauty than on horseback? Trail rides through the countryside, and lessons for beginners and experienced riders.
