​

Embark on an unforgettable journey as we kick off the first day of our island crossing. With the break of dawn, immerse yourself in the captivating hues of the sunrise, witnessing the stirring beauty of our surroundings.

 

Our adventure begins overlooking the famed "Dragon's Tail," the easternmost peninsula of Madeira, before we set our sights westward along the breathtaking ridges of the island's northern coast.

The initial stretch of our hike presents a thrilling challenge, serving as the perfect initiation to our five-day odyssey. Designed to invigorate the senses and set the pace for the journey ahead, the first two hours test both stamina and resolve. Yet, conquering this ascent assures triumph throughout the entirety of our expedition.

​

Following the demanding climb, the trail levels out, offering panoramic vistas of the northeastern coastline as we trek towards the picturesque town of Porto da Cruz. Spanning a total distance of 15 kilometers, this exhilarating hike unfolds over approximately five hours of exploration.

One of the most enchanting aspects of this excursion is its secluded nature, granting respite from the bustle of more frequented trails. Revel in the tranquility of this lesser-known gem, where the harmony of early morning serenity and invigorating activity in nature epitomizes the essence of the Big Walk spirit.

Join us for an epic adventure filled with unforgettable moments and the thrill of conquering new heights. Experience the magic of a sunrise hike and discover the unparalleled beauty of Madeira's rugged landscapes.
