Excellent sunrise on Pico and then very pleasant hiking with beautiful views. Paulo full of hospitality and took tea and cake for the early breakfast, took care during the hike and told a lot of interesting things about the country. Strongly recommend!

Had the best time with Paulo during the Pico De Arieiro to Pico Ruivo Hike! He was really helpful answering my questions before the hike and he was really kind during the hike. He explained everything about the island and we had lots to talk about. Definitely recommend booking a hike with Paulo. Going on a second one tomorrow!!

Paolo is an excellent guide, with much knowledge of the entire island. He is an extremely experienced hiker and guide, and had great awareness of our group’s needs and abilities. He sensed when to take breaks and when to push on, and made the hike feel enjoyable and not rushed. We had a full day with him, and will absolutely book him again for other nature exploration when we return to the island next year.

Me and my sister had a full-day tour with Paulo. It was such a pleasure to spend the day with him, and he picked the best possible places to visit is such a short time. We have definitely had an unforgettable day with beautiful memories.

Absolutely incredible and unforgettable hike through breathtaking mountainous scenery. We began with a beautiful sunrise at Pico do Areeiro (jacket recommended due to the strong winds) and finished at the highest point on Madeira island at Pico Ruivo, taking in sights of the various peaks and infamous Nuns Valley below, among others. Our local guide Paulo looked after us from the early morning pick up at the hotel right throughout the day, answering all our questions knowledgeably on the flora and fauna, and taking extra care and patience when the trail became challenging. His passion for the mountains was clear to see, going as far as clearing litter left behind by other walkers. Having a certified guide carrying additional safety equipment provided us with peace of mind to focus on enjoying our day out. It was definitely worth booking this private tour with Paulo for that personal touch, more so when watching those on the larger group tours (often with non-local guides) more or less being left to their own devices! Highly recommended, especially to those with less experience needing the extra encouragement!

Amazing day from start to finish. Paulo our guide was superb, brought coffee in a flask and cake to keep us warm while we waited for the sunrise. This was so worth the cold wait. Breath taking. Then we began the hike with Paulo making sure we were ok and stopping when needed to catch our breath. I’m not good with heights but I felt very safe. He was also very knowledgeable about the plants and birds that we saw on the way and the different peaks we saw. Rounded off the day we some ponchas. Highly recommend this tour.

Paulo was very professional, knowledgable, patient, and generous during the tour. I highly recommend doing this fantastic experience with him. My toe was hurting on that day but he provided me with alternative hiking options that are suitable with my pace and condition and we saw fantastic views and place! Thank you Paulo!

This was the most beautiful (and challenging) hike we’ve done. Having Paulo as a guide made the experience so much better and utterly amazing. We would recommend this experience to friends, family, and anyone who wants to do this hike - please to do it with Paulo. We began the morning with coffee and homemade cake to watch the sunrise. For this, it may be cold so definitely bring a jacket. You can keep it in the car for the hike if not needed. After that, we began our journey from Pico do Arieiro to Pico do Ruivo. The hike can be difficult at times with many stairs so going with an experienced and certified mountain guide is the best route to go. Paulo is a true local from Madeira and educated us on the island, it’s fauna, and history during our journey. After the hike, we felt we gained a friend in Paulo. We tried some fisherman Poncha and some local canja (chicken rice soup) which was amazing and a fantastic end to the journey. We would absolutely do this hike and other experiences (Paulo also teaches surf lessons) with Paulo.
