Madeira Island Walking
Our team have devised a walking itinerary that exemplifies the best that Madeira has to offer. Traverse the terraced hillsides and follow local trails and ‘levadas’ through the peaceful, idyllic countryside and ultimately reach the island’s highest peak (Pico Ruivo, 1862 metres). Stay at a mix of 4* and smaller traditional properties in beautiful surroundings and learn more about the island through our detailed route notes.
NEW: Madeira Island Cycling
Whilst Madeira has a reputation for being a superb hiking destination, the suprisingly quiet roads circling the island offer cyclists just as much in terms of dramatic coastal scenes and cultural connection. With much of the islands traffic using the vast system of tunnels and freeways, cyclists can enjoy in peace the mountainous roads where sweeping views are a constant backdrop as you pedal.
On your way, you will find wonderful parks and gardens, still bays and spectacular cliffs. This Portuguese Island was settled in the 15th Century and the legacy remains of magnificent quintas and monumental fortresses. Spend a week discovering this World Cultural Heritage site landscape, traditional seafaring culture and above all the hospitality of the Madeirans.
NEW: Islands of Malta Coastal Walk
Experience the allure of Malta on a walking holiday that reveals the islands’ natural beauty and cultural treasures. After the summer heat subsides, the landscape transforms into a vibrant tapestry of wildflowers, lush fields, and greenery. Picture trails lined with fennel, clover, wild iris, and myrtle as you meander through the countryside—where nearly 80% of the Maltese Islands remain untouched by urban development.
The extensive network of tracks and lanes offers endless opportunities to explore everything from towering cliffs overlooking the Mediterranean to the rocky expanses of the garrigue and serene, hidden valleys. As you walk, uncover Malta’s rich history, with mysterious prehistoric sites, ancient cave chapels, and the grand palaces of the Knights. On Gozo, marvel at the Ta’ Dbiegi artisan village, the panoramic views from Gordan Lighthouse, and the centuries-old Salt Pans near Marsalforn. In the evenings, immerse yourself in the charm of towns like Victoria, Rabat, and Gharb, where tasting local delicacies are the perfect way to end your day of discovery.
Hiking in Tenerife
Walking on North Tenerife is hugely varied and our aim is to show you as much as possible. After the Cañadas del Teide adventure, you explore the north west of the island with its own mountain range, the Teno and views across the sea to the island of La Gomera and down the cliffs to the impossibly located village of Masca. Finally, there is a walk in the rugged Anaga Peninsula - its top is covered in dripping ancient 'laurisilva' woodland. Descending past fertile cultivated fields, tiny villages, then dry cactus strewn valleys, you'll reach the rocky coast of this stunning Canary Island.
