Many people also enjoy hiking the levadas (irrigation channels), cycling the island's varied terrain, and diving or snorkelling in the clear waters.
  • What special gear or clothing is recommended for the climate in Madeira?

    Madeira's weather can be unpredictable, so layering is key. Pack comfortable walking shoes for exploring the levadas and trails.

    Yes, Madeira's unique climate contributes to some spectacular natural events. The best example is the flowering of the various plant species, particularly vibrant in spring during the Festa da Flor.
