“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!”

Nous avons parcouru 25 kms alternant entre petites routes goudronnées, sentiers, pistes sur terrains caillouteux, poussiéreux ou boueux. Les vélos sont des mountain eBikes, très puissants car il fallait monter des côtes avec de très forts dénivelés. Passages tantôt découverts ou dans la forêt. À recommander.”

10.“Self-Guided” E-Bike Road Tour from Funchal to Garajau

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 3 reviews · from $55

Set out from Funchal on a Radon Solution Hybrid 8.0 CX 500 e-bike, guided by Garmin GPS rather than a cycling group leader. Oscar or another MADCycle instructor adjusts your bike, then you ride quiet roads to Cristo Rei in Garajau and return in about three hours.

“We were met by Oscar who bought a selection of bike sizes to make sure we had the right ones. The bikes were like new and so smooth. The battery was phenomenal getting us easily up the hills despite them being so steep. The helmets were new and clean and the Garmin showed the route clearly. Although we were on roads they were generally quiet and we had no issues with traffic. We had a great morning and can’t rate MAD cycles high enough. If in doubt - book it and enjoy!”
