“My hike with Marcio was the best Madeira hiking experience I could have asked for. Marcio is an amazing mountain guide with impressive knowledge of and utmost respect for the nature and history of Madeira.
He was attentive to the safety, skill level, comfort, and interests of his hiking group throughout the entire day. There were clouds projected on the forecast for the day of the hike so he adjusted the timing of our departure to ensure we saw the incredible summit views and a beautiful sunrise.
I could not recommend Marcio and Madeira Wonder Hikes more. Even if you have your own car on the island or an experienced hiker, doing a hike with Marcio as your mountain guide is a must when in Madeira - you will not be disappointed!”

“Very friendly and knowledgeable team. They made sure everyone was safe & happy. Lots of information provided.
Great spots & timing - no crowds on the hikes :-) They also didn't rush people and even took their time to take us for a drink/meal after the tours. ”

“ An unforgettable experience, outside of mass tourism. High-level nature experience for those who enjoy alternative experiences. ”

“I did 6 walks with Marcio in May 2023 and for me it was the best way to explore Madeira. Each hike was different and every day there were breathtaking views, waterfalls you wouldn't have found on your own or distinctive nature as the hikes were off the beaten track.
My highlights were the hike in Fanal Forest and the sunrise on Pico do Arieiro. I also liked the fact that the hikes only take place in small groups, so that the individual fitness level or fears of the participants can be taken into account. Even when the weather was not suitable for the planned tour on one day, there was immediately a plan B, which was in no way inferior to the planned tour. On the way to the starting point and back, stops are made at sights or beautiful viewpoints. This way I got to know more highlights of Madeira that would not have been possible with other tour companies. You can see that Marcio loves his job and I can recommend the Madeira Wonder Hikes to anyone who wants to go off the beaten track.”
