The Real Madeira Guide - and MORE!

The Ultimate Madeira Experience

Welcome to the most complete Madeira guide you’ll ever find.

What if I told you there's one Madeira guide that’s actually written by someone who explored the island every week for 5 years?

I built this guide because I wish I had something like it when I first visited Madeira back in 2015.

You’ll find everything here: the must-do hikes, secret waterfalls, epic sunrise and sunset spots, the best food, plus full-day itineraries for the north coast, west coast, and hidden gems you won’t see on any other guide.

If you notice something missing or want personal tips, message me – I love helping people experience Madeira the way locals do. And if you’re lucky, you might even catch me on a hike I haven’t tracked yet or get a free bonus tip I just discovered.

This guide is made by locals who want you to feel like both a tourist and a local: ticking off the must-sees, but also walking away with stories and photos your friends back home won’t believe.

Hello, we have just come back from Madeira and I would like to thank you for the itinerary, which helped us discover this amazing island. I’m very happy because the plan was very family-friendly and suitable for both children and adults. Everyone had the opportunity to find things they liked the most. The well-thought-out days and smart planning allowed us to enjoy stunning views and amazing experiences. We especially enjoyed the easy and beautiful levada walks. They were not difficult, even for our 3-year-old toddler. The restaurant recommendations were also excellent😊

I visited Homeoffice Madeira a few months ago and went on many breathtaking hikes with Figo. Every single one was amazing, and he knows the island better than anyone, from the most beautiful trails to hidden spots you’d never find on your own. His energy and passion for Madeira are contagious, and I always felt in good hands. If you want to experience Madeira at its best, use this guide, I'm sure you won’t regret it!

I have visited Madeira many times, and this is by far the best hiking guide I’ve ever come across. The routes are truly exceptional – varied, carefully curated, and often completely unique compared to what you find in other sources. Each trail reveals a new side of the island, from hidden gems to breathtaking viewpoints I would never have discovered on my own. The descriptions are clear, detailed, and inspiring, making it easy to plan and enjoy each hike with confidence.

This guide doesn’t just list walks – it captures the spirit of Madeira and invites you to experience the island in a deeper, more authentic way. If you love hiking and want to explore beyond the usual well-trodden paths, this book is absolutely indispensable.

This place may just be heaven on earth.. the HomeOffice experience with Figo is what made my trip to Madeira so special. Figo took us to parts of the island that were truly the path less taken.. The most draw dropping scenic views with the best people! Booking with Figo exceeded our expectations!

Absolutely unforgettable! I joined a hiking week in Madeira in 2024, and Figo, our host and guide, made it an extraordinary experience from start to finish. His deep knowledge of the island and its hidden trails meant we were able to enjoy breathtaking hikes far from the crowded tourist routes – always safe, always spectacular. Every day felt like discovering a secret side of Madeira. Beyond the hikes, Figo shared countless fantastic tips and recommendations that made my time on the island even more special. His passion, warmth, and expertise turned this trip into one of the best travel experiences I’ve ever had. Highly recommended! Thank you very much Figo and see you soon ✌🏼

DON’T BUY THIS GUIDE... ... if you’re afraid of having the time of your life in Madeira!

When I first came to Madeira, I had only planned to stay a few days. Then Figo took me to “his” special corners of the island – and I immediately extended my stay. Since then, I’ve been back at least ten times, and every single trip he’s managed to show me something new and unique.

If you want to get away from the classic tourist hotspots, this is the way to go. The hikes are absolutely fantastic – and there’s something for every level, whether you’re super fit or not so much. Figo knows the island like the back of his hand (and that’s probably an understatement).

With him, and the various groups I’ve joined, I’ve always had an incredible time. I can honestly recommend to everyone: see Madeira from this perspective – it’s an island full of surprises, and Figo is the perfect key to unlock them.
