What you can expect

  • Hiking Pico Areeiro
    We start our tour with an amazing view at Pico Areeiro, from where we will have a small hike (and back) to the Insta-famous Stairway To Heaven. On the way there, you can expect dramatic landscapes, unique flora, and a tour experience that will make your friends green with envy. The way back and forth is around 90 minutes in total.

    Get Together and Wheat Coffee vibes
    Let's get this adventure rolling with a Get Together bursting with excitement. Energise yourself with a traditional wheat coffee (or of course a bica or garoto), a Madeira speciality that'll give you power for the day ahead.

    Vereda do Larano: let's hike!
    After our “Warm-Up Hike”, we head east to Machico. It's time to conquer the hike that awaits on the Vereda do Larano. A lush green environment awaits us and the sea always behind us. On we go, always along the cliffs and with spectacular views. A little hunger? We got you. We have prepared a small picnic with local snacks and will find the perfect spot to enjoy it.

    Arrived: Porto da Cruz and cheers to us!
    High five, because we have reached our destination Porto da Cruz! Look forward to the charming village on the coast, a salty sea breeze and a local speciality: rum! Because our next stop takes us to a local Poncha bar - because we wouldn't be Heartbeat Madeira if we didn't have this well-deserved local drink on today's hike. Cheers to us!

    Cheers to new memories: back in Funchal
    The day is coming to an end and we're making our way back to Funchal. But the adventure doesn't have to end here for you! We'd be happy to recommend our favourite poncha bars for a perfect end to the day with your tour buddies.
