By the way, Madeira is a destination for cyclists in almost every season: from February to December the temperatures are mild, so you can take a little break even in winter!
São Vicente, Funchal, Porto Moniz or Calheta – these names sound like music to the ears! The towns on the Portuguese island of Madeira radiate a lively, cosy atmosphere and bring a touch of the exotic to your cycling holiday. On the five daily stages, you can also immerse yourself in the colourful world of flowers in Madeira and catch wonderful panoramic views of the cliffs.
The eight-day cycling adventure on the Atlantic island begins in Caniço. Over the next few days, about 195 kilometres by bike and an infinite number of impressive landscapes are ahead of you! The daily tours run along low-traffic side roads and are between 25 and 50 kilometres long. The most difficult climbs are bridged by bus transfer, but you should expect some steep sections and descents. Good physical condition and experience are an advantage.

Es war insgesamt eine sehr schöne, gut organisierte Reise
Die Rundreise mit Rad rund um die Insel ist ein einzigartiges Naturerlebnis. Mit nichts anderes als dem Rad kann man derartig viele Eindrücke sammeln und den Charme der immergrünen Insel genießen, einatmen und riechen. Die Fahrt geht durch Eukalyptus Wälder, Zuckerrohrplantagen, Kartoffelfelder, zu Küstenorten mit Palmenstränden und vorbei an vielen kleinen noch urtümlichen Ortschaften mit einzigartigen Kleingarten. Die Temperatur war fürs Radfahren ideal so von 15 bis 25 ...
Wow! Vielen herzlichen Dank für Ihr Feedback, es freut uns sehr dass wir Sie ebenfalls vom Radfahren auf Madeira überzeugen konnten!
Jeden Tag aufs Neue beeindruckende Strecken, eine gute Grundkondition sollte jedoch vorhanden sein. Wir haben uns für E-Bikes entschieden, damit der Genuss beim Radeln nicht zu kurz kommt.
Eine Tour mit vielen HIghlights, die man gesehen haben muss. Bei der Buchung waren wir uns nicht ganz sicher, ob die Tour (als sportlich gekennzeichnet) für uns geeignet ist. Frau Wenger hat uns dann aber mit einer tollen Beratung und der Empfehlung zu E-bikes überzeugt. Und tatsächlich war die Tour für uns mit den gemieteten E-bikes überhaupt kein Problem. Wir konnten jede Etappe sehr genießen und würden die Tour jederzeit ...
Herzlichen Dank für das fantastische Feedback. Es freut uns wirklich sehr, wenn unsere Kunden so rundum zufrieden waren. Wir freuen uns schon von Ihnen zu hören!
Highlights waren die Tour nach Porto da Cruz mit angenehmem Familienhotel Costa Linda, Fährt auf dem Hochplateau Paula de Serra, die Naturschwimmbecken von Porta Maniz und der längere Aufenthalt in Funchal. Hervorragend die Betreuung durch unseren Fahrer Nuno, dem wir hier noch einmal herzlich danken. Einzig die Streckenbeschreibung nach Funchal war am Ende etwas missverständlich, sonst alles sehr leicht zu finden.
Es freut mich sehr, dass Sie so schöne Tage auf Madeira verlebt haben und hoffe, dass wir Sie auch nächstes Jahr wieder für eine unserer Touren begeistern können.
