Up Mountain Madeira Walks & Tours

We had the best time hiking to Pico Ruivo with Up Mountain Maderia! Nico picked us up early in the morning right outside where we were staying. After a short car ride we arrived at Pico do Arieiro to watch the sunrise over the clouds. A memory we will never forget. From there our walking guide David took us through a series of peaks and tunnels before finally reaching the summit of Pico Ruivo. The peak has some of the most spectacular views you could ever imagine. A tough walk but well worth it for the views at the top! Huge thanks to both Nico and David for making that day one of our highlights when visiting Maderia. We cant wait to come back already! Eve & Greg- Jersey Channel Island 🇯🇪

Very lucky to have used this company for a days hiking in Madeira. We walked through the Rabacal area which is stunningly beautiful. We especially wanted to walk with a small group and David, our guide, was exceptional. He made sure we got the most out of the experience. I would not hesitate to use this company again when we are next in Madeira.When you see the size of some of the walking groups you just know that you are getting a better experience.

I traveled to Madeira alone and from the beginning I knew I wanted to hike the PR01 trail. Although I went alone, the Up Mountain staff gave me the best experience possible! During the entire hike, David (the guide) explained the history of the island, the description of the fauna and flora and we stopped whenever necessary. At the end of the trail, Nico and David even took me to drink the traditional Poncha da madeira! Besides having a memorable experience in nature, it was also a very cultural experience. Nico and David also gave me recommendations of places to experience the island's traditional gastronomy and they were always in contact with me until the end of my holidays in Madeira. Although I went alone, I never felt alone! A special thanks to Nico and David for making my trip to Madeira so special!

Nico was a fabulous guide, full of facts and good fun. Would give more than 5 stars if we could 👍👍

Nico and Up Mountain Madeira are simply the best tour operation in Madeira. We have gone on tours with him each year for the past 3 years. His evening drinks & dinner tour is our favourite. We go on it every year. His sightseeing tours are amazing with him sharing his knowledge and passion for the Island. He always takes us to most authentic local restaurants that most you would never find. We’ve also gone on tours with his uncle Ricardo and cousin Diego. They’re great too.
