The person behind Madeira Vibes
Hi, I'm Mikita
I've lived on Madeira for five years, and every weekend I'm still out exploring it: on foot, by car, by bike and on my motorbike. Everyone knows Pico do Arieiro and Caldeirão Verde, and I'll gladly show you those too. But my real passion is quiet levadas, mountain waterfalls, epic trails above the clouds and other places where you'll hardly meet a soul.
More about me →Weather has a mind of its own
Madeira can be sunny on one side and misty on the other. If your spot is clouded in, I take you somewhere just as beautiful. No good option? Full refund.
Good to know
Is the tour private?
Yes. Each booking is a private group: just you and the people you come with. No strangers join. The group sizes and prices are on each tour page.
Is transport included?
Yes. I pick you up and bring you to the start of the route, and back again at the end. The car depends on the size of your group.
Can you just drive us to a hike?
Yes, that's a hike transfer. I drop you at the start of a one-way trail and pick you up at the end, wherever it comes out. Tell me the trail and the date through "Plan your own" or WhatsApp and I'll send you a price.
When do I pay?
After I confirm your date. Pay online with a secure link and it costs less. You can also pay in cash on the day.
Can I bring children?
Yes, children are welcome, though not every route suits them. If you're coming with kids, tell me when you book so I can suggest the right route and have the right car seats ready.
Can I bring my pet?
Of course! I'm pet-friendly, so your furry friend is welcome on the trip. Just tell me when you book, especially if it's a big one, so I can plan the car and the route.
What if I need to cancel?
Cancel two weeks or more before the tour and you get 100% back. The same goes for things out of your hands, like a delayed or cancelled flight. Otherwise you get 50% back, or more at my discretion. If I cancel because of the weather, you always get a full refund.
