Madeira's Famous Hike - The Big Walk
The Big Walk was launched in 2016 by a group of tour guides as a series of YouTube videos, with the purpose of documenting the best trails in Madeira over a period of 5 days, crossing the island from East to West. This soon drew interest from our guests and gave birth to our guided hiking expeditions across Madeira Island.
