Who will be my guide?
On this trip, you will be traveling with us — Dominik & Josefine — the travel couple behind Trail to Adventures. Dom is Canadian and Jo is Danish and for the past 7 years we have been traveling full time, living in over 5 countries and traveling to 4 different continents.
We first went to Madeira in February 2022 and fell completely in love with the island. We did some incredible tours and hikes, connected with locals, and had the most amazing time.
Before we even left the island, we knew we were going to come back and that we just had to share the beauty of Madeira with others – because beauty like this has to be shared. That’s how Trail to Adventures was born.
For the entire duration of this trip, we will be with you as your guides, friends, and photographers to make sure you have the best possible trip. But we won’t be your only guides!
For the hiking, we have hired a family-owned tour company to take us on the most beautiful trails and teach us about the island, the flora & fauna, and show us the best of the best! This tour company is the one we used when we were in Madeira and we know how incredible they are.
We have also hired a local guide to help us organize everything and to ensure we support local businesses along the way.
Last but not least, we’ve hired a local chef to guide our tastebuds in the right direction 😉
