A fun experience for the entire family.

If you don't like heights, look away now. Open since 2012, the skywalk sits on a cliff on Madeira's southern coast. It measures a breathtaking 580 metres high. The platform hangs off the edge of the cliff, and the glass floor tiles give a clear view of the ocean far below you.

Levada Walks

Taking inspiration from the Moors, during the 1500s numerous channels were carved through Madeira to transport water to the drier southeast region. Today, these channels serve as popular routes known as the Levada Walks. One of the best routes is the Levada das 25 Fontes which takes you past the stunning 100-metre Risco waterfall.
