I spent 3 wonderful days this October combining my love for off-road bikes with my love for sunny retreats.
Everything is taken care off by your wonderful host Joao, who can switch between tour host & trainer at the flick of a starter button. This was great for me as I wanted to hit the trails but also get a chance to see some of the island.
The tour is tailored to your abilities and requirements. I was happy to take things at a leisurely pace but if you wanted to scream around leaving a dust trail visible from space, then I can assure you Joao has the skills to craft such a dusty day out.
Joao did a good job of keeping the knobblies dirt side, and road work was thankfully kept to a minimum. There is plenty of challenging terrain in Maderia to keep you smiling and great conversation to be had when you want to hit the stop switch and explain how you ‘would have cleared that’ if you were on your own bike…honest!!
Weirdly there never seems to be any level ground in Madeira as you always seem to be going either up or down!
I loved all 3 days and will definitely be returning for round 2 in 2021.

This was a really really cool experience! João Soares is a very good rider and always ready to teach the one who are experiencing Enduro or Mx for the first time. The Hondas are also amazing. I can recommend this to anyone who’s into adventure.. A truly food way to see Madeira Island from its best perspective.

I really enjoyed the lessons you gave me. Quite unexpected my muscles are itching today. I’ve invited my 2 sons to join me next time I go to Madeira. Till then, take care!

Been riding my 125cc on the road for a year but never had any off road experience, nor ridden a dirt bike. J and his team were super supportive and showed me the ropes… It was fantastic day out. I’ll be back for more next year!
