The Eboard Madeira Journal
Local guides, trip-planning intel and honest comparisons — written from Funchal by the people who ride these roads every day.
Comparison
Three tour formats, one island, completely different days out. An honest side-by-side on effort, ground covered, group size, price and how each one feels.
Listicle / comparison
Viewpoints, catamarans, or riding the coast to Câmara de Lobos at golden hour — an honest comparison of Madeira's three sunset options.
Local guide
Sea wolves, Zarco, Churchill with an easel, espetada and poncha — the full story of the harbour village 15 minutes west of Funchal.
Local guide
470 to 1,818 metres of protected mountain directly above Funchal — what's up there, why the cloud layer sits below it, and how to see it without a long hike.
Family travel
Canyoning to toboggans — eight guided activities teenagers and parents can genuinely do together, with age minimums and fitness notes for each.
Definitive guide
Motorised boards, a handheld remote and no pushing required. What an electric longboard tour actually is, how hard it is to learn, and how safe it really is.
How-to guide
Shoes, layers, what to leave behind, and exactly what the training session covers before you ride a single metre of the route.
