Top 15 Cycling Tours on Madeira

1.Guided E-bike Tour of the North Coast

★★★★★★★★★★4.9 · 130 reviews · 4 hours · from $76Our pick

Half-day guided e-bike ride along Madeira’s north coast, from Boaventura through laurel forests to sea viewpoints, with small-group pickup.

“What an adventure! This E-bike tour gave us a great chance to admire the gorgeous scenery on the North side of Madeira and to travel with a fun group and a knowledgeable guide. Some things to know for folx considering this tour…make sure to be flexible with the pickup time and location as it may change the night before. This is an incredibly mountainous area and you will be going up and down steep hills. The whole trip is on the roads with fairly constant traffic so you need to be comfortable with road riding. The bikes’ electric assist worked well but some of the bikes were pretty beat up.…”

“What a wonderful way to see and learn about a part of Madeira. The path was great, challenging enough to keep our kids engaged and not too challenging that one could not make it. It was nice to also learn a few things about the trees and plants on the way. The group size is max 8 which is perfect. And the short stop at the beautiful golf course where we had tea and cake was an unexpected surprise 🤩. Can highly recommend to anyone that wants to take a break from all the hiking on the island!”

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 49 reviews · 2 hours (approx.) · from $150

A short enduro dirt-bike tour on Madeira with flexible trails, a pro guide, and scenic stops, ideal if you can ride a road bike.

“Amazing experience, was welcomed warmly by João, (the awesome guide) and quickly got to know the other people on the tour as well as João. We geared up, listened to a short brief, and before I knew it we were neck deep in the woods tearing through trails as the guide watched and provided us great feedback to improve our Enduro skills off-road. There is nothing better than a guide who has first hand professional experience and one that puts everything aside to help you improve, get out of your comfort zone, all while staying safe. Saw some great views and encountered some sheep along the way. Bikes were very…”

“We hadden goede fietsen en hebben een mooie tocht gemaakt over zeer rustige wegen. Leuke uitleg onderweg over wat lokale dingen in Madeira. Dat we dezelfde weg retour gegaan zijn is wel begrijpelijk maar ook een beetje jammer. De gids let goed op zijn groep en houdt rekening met iedereen zodat er bij niemand spanningen ontstaan en iedereen kan genieten van het mooie wat Madeira te bieden heeft.”

“It was fantastic! Not only was the biking exciting going from the mountains at 1400 meters down to sea level but the variety of terrain and scenery was spectacular. Rosbert’s in-depth knowledge of the forests, the environment and regional history was very impressive and added a whole other dimension to the tour. We will definitely join Ros again for another adventure next time we’re in Madeira!”
