Day 1 / Santana

Arrive at any time. Tonight, meet your CEO and fellow travellers at the welcome meeting, then opt to head out for dinner with the group.

Day 2 / Santana

The Levada do Caldeirão Verde is one of the island's greenest, lushest trails - a beautiful walk any time of the year. Set out for a half-day hike over varied terrain, with panoramic views over São Jorge village and the mountains that surround the valley. Enjoy a picnic by the waterfalls.

Day 3 / Santana/Funchal

Summit one of the island's tallest peaks, the Pico do Arieiro. At an altitude of 1,818m, it's the third highest in Madeira. The hike requires some scrambling with steep ascents, but stunning views of the island above the cloud line make every step worth it.

Day 4 / Funchal

Hike to the Cabo Girão viewpoint, one of Europe's highest and rightfully a popular destination on the island. Traverse the skywalk, a glass walkway that extends over the edge of the cliffs, looking down straight into the sea. Enjoy stunning views of the southern coast. Later, opt to try Madeira's famous poncha - a drink made with aguardente de cana (distilled sugarcane liqour) that's often sweetened with fruit.

Day 5 / Funchal

Enjoy a full free day. Opt to take a scenic jeep tour, explore the town, or take a cable car up to nearby Monte and take an exhilarating toboggan ride back down to Funchal.

Day 6 / Funchal

Depart at any time.
