Madeira Mountain Tours (by Green Approach Travel), is a dedicated hiking and trekking tour company, focused on guided walks across Madeira Island, from classic levadas to high mountain routes and quieter trails away from the busiest hotspots. Madeira is a compact island with huge variety: laurel forest, deep valleys, exposed ridgelines, and dramatic coastline. Our aim is simple: help our clients experience these landscapes on foot, safely and in a way that feels genuine.
Founded in 2018 by a local hiking enthusiast, Madeira Mountain Tours has grown into Green Approach Travel - a DMC focused on active outdoor travel, trip planning, and on-the-ground operations. This structure allows to keep offering hiking tours, while also supporting broader trip planning and group operations when needed.
We plan each walk around the season, trail access, and current conditions. We do include some of Madeira’s best-known routes when they truly belong on an itinerary, but we approach them smartly—using timing and route choices that help avoid peak crowds and keep the experience enjoyable.
Madeira Mountain Tours is for travellers who want to hike Madeira with a local team, clear planning, and a strong focus on safety and respect for the trails.
