About Epic Madeira
Epic Madeira is a specialist adventure company based in Funchal, focused on canyoning, coasteering, rock climbing, and guided hiking across the island. Founded by passionate local outdoor professionals, they have carved out a reputation as one of Madeira's top-rated operators for vertical and water-based adventure sports.
Their canyoning programme spans three difficulty levels — beginner routes at Camacha and the Ecological Park of Funchal, intermediate descents at Curral das Freiras and Ribeiro Frio, and advanced canyons at São Vicente, Seixal, and Santana featuring rappels up to 60 metres. Coasteering sessions combine cliff jumping, swimming, and scrambling along Madeira's dramatic volcanic coastline. They also run guided rock climbing on natural crags and multi-pitch routes, plus levada and mountain hikes to iconic viewpoints like Pico do Arieiro.
All tours depart from their meeting point in front of the Cristiano Ronaldo Museum in downtown Funchal, where the Epic Adventure van picks up guests and drives them to the day's starting point. Small group sizes, all safety equipment included, and experienced certified guides make Epic Madeira an excellent choice for travellers looking to push beyond the typical sightseeing tour.
