Everything you need to know before booking your hike.
Bookings & Payments
You can book by WhatsApp, email or through the contact form. A 30% deposit confirms the booking, and we send a confirmation email with the meeting point, the time and the gear information.
You can cancel or change at no cost if you do it 7 days or more before the hike. Between 3 and 7 days before, the deposit is non-refundable. With less than 72 hours’ notice, there is no refund. Full details are in the Terms & Conditions.
Yes. All hikes include public liability insurance and personal accident insurance, valid during the activity.
Groups & Transport
No. Hikes are done in small groups, for a more personal experience, a comfortable pace and more time to enjoy the trail.
Hikes are organised for private groups and require a minimum of 2 participants. We never combine participants from different bookings.
Transport is included for groups of up to 6 people, with pickup in central Funchal. The meeting point and time are confirmed before the hike. Pickup from hotels outside central Funchal may have an additional cost, and larger groups may pay extra if a second vehicle is needed.
Preparation & Gear
It depends on the trail you choose. Each hike lists the distance, duration, elevation gain and difficulty level. For long or demanding routes, good physical fitness and mountain hiking experience are important.
After your booking is confirmed, we email you the full list of recommended gear.
On the moderate hikes no technical experience is needed, but you should be comfortable walking for several hours on uneven terrain. On the longer, more demanding routes, we recommend previous mountain experience and good fitness.
On the Trail & Safety
Light rain alone does not cancel the hike, which can go ahead with the right gear. Safety always comes first: if the weather or trail conditions are unsafe, we will contact you to arrange an alternative.
Yes. The pace is adjusted to the group, with stops to rest, drink water, have a snack, take photos and enjoy the most beautiful spots.
For safety, weather, trail conditions or other unforeseen events, the route, starting point or duration may change. Whenever possible, we offer a suitable alternative.
Routes are chosen and assessed according to the day’s conditions. Some pass through tunnels, wet areas, narrow paths or uneven terrain, so it is essential to follow the guide’s instructions, wear suitable footwear and respect the safety rules.
