From the operator
In Hiking Island's own words, from the Viator listing.
Being able to enjoy a cultural, gastronomic, mountain hiking experience, and the history and biodiversity of the island as a real place.
Our activity will take you to eat like a local, in the restaurants that locals go to. Eat a regional kebab, drink a poncha, all this as a true Madeiran does, along trails little used by those who visit us.
Get to know the story told by a certified guide born and raised on the island.
Have a social and economic impact on local communities, thus bringing sustainability to our activity.
