Day 1: Arrival in Madeira Welcome to Madeira! Upon arrival, you’ll be met by your Sky Vacations ambassador who will transfer you to your hotel. This afternoon, explore the charming streets of Funchal in a guided tour that will include a visit to the local market to sample local delicacies and to the Botanical Garden to learn about the island’s unique flora. In the evening, experience a private tasting at the Madeira Wine Company, sampling some of the island’s finest wines. Day 2: Levadas The “levadas” are irrigation canals, which allowed people to bring water to their plantations that were located at great distances and in difficult to access places. Today, there are more than 30 recommended walking routes (equivalent to around 3000km) where you can see beautiful green landscapes, natural tunnels that cross the rock, and lagoons with crystal clear waters. In addition to the “levadas,” there are the “veredas”, which are recommended walking paths but without water channels. Hike these incredible “levedas” with a private guide before enjoying a Madeiran lunch in nature. The rest of the day is at your leisure. Day 3: Madeiran Cuisine Join a Madeiran culinary master in an interactive and immersive experience: a private cooking masterclass at the chef’s house! Discover the secrets behind the island’s most traditional dishes as the chef shares authentic techniques and stories behind each ingredient. In an intimate environment, you will have the unique opportunity to learn, practice and improve your culinary skills, creating traditional Madeira dishes under the guidance of the chef. After returning to the hotel, the rest of the day is at your leisure. Day 4: Departure Today, transfer to the airport for your onward journey.
