Uncover the 10 Best Hikes on Madeira Island - #1 Will Shock You!

I spent 2 weeks travelling and hiking my way around the island of Madeira - completing a total of 10 hikes (arguably 11 depending on your definition of a hike) and in this video, I'll share with you the 10 we completed, ranking them from least to most favourite. In order of completion, the first hike we tackled was a circular trail, walking out on Levada Nova and back on Levada Moinho, both near Ponta Do Sol (not to be confused with another Levada Moinho near Porto Moniz). Next was the PR6 25 fontes levada walk which was lengthened to take in the Risco Waterfall, Lagoa do Vento which splits the Risco Waterfall into 2, and we returned to the car walking along Levada Alecrim. Next up was PR14 Levada Dos Cedros, a mystical walk with thanks to the fog, just down from the Fanal Forest. After relocating to Sao Vicente, Madeira, we next conqured the pr16 levada Faja do Rodrigues, though turning back before the final tunnel as we didn't fancy hiking for 2km bent over in the dark! As we moved eastwards, next was PR9 Caldeirao Verde, a popular walk, but with good reason. Then it was the turn of the mighty beast, a sun rise at pico do arieiro to then be followed by the pico do arieiro to pico ruivo hike. To give our muscels a bit of a break, the next day we sauntered along the Castelejo Levada walk, getting up close and personal with local Madeiran life, walking right past people's homes and gardens growing fruit and vegetables. It was at this point where we started to make some friends at the hostel we'd moved into for a few nights, and with newly found friends, we wandered along the Larano walk, Madeira, otherwise known as Boca do Risco - the view point it leads out to, on the same day we ambled along Levada dos Balcões - I'll let you be the judge of whether it can be classed as a hike or not. The following day with yet another new friend in tow from the hostel, we conqured the Sao Lourenco walk, complete with a wild swim in the turquoise waters, and to finish the holiday off, we wandered along the PR18 Levada do Rei, a very pretty, flower filled Levada Walk that pushes you behind a waterfall, one of Madeira's easy waterfall hikes, perfect to complete without breaking a sweat for when you have a plane to board afterwards!
