The best way to visit this exceptional island. The organisation is flawless and self-guided, but you feel very much supported along the hiking trail. A nice variation of comfortable and epic sleeping places.

The trip was great. The views are incredible, not many tourists where you walk, and the itinerary is well balanced, in terms of type of place and distance.

The Norway Trail was my first ever long hiking trail which involved carrying everything on my back. The trail truly allowed me to understand what it is like to return to the basics while experiencing the beautiful nature of Norway. With life being so busy and materialistic, this was the perfect opportunity to escape. Never in my life have I laughed this hard in one week. I met some amazing people on this trip and learned so much about myself as well. From day one, I felt at home. I would definitely advise everyone to join this trip as it is a once in a lifetime experience!

We found Travelbase in a desperate attempt to visit and hike in Iceland. Since there were a few slots left, we decided to book them! But we realised later that it is mainly offered to participants who can follow dutch / french / flemish. Therefore, we wrote to the team expressing our concern and they wrote back saying that the guides will help us to the best of their abilities in English. This was perfectly true and in fact the highlight of the trip was the calm, supporting and reassuring presence of the guides, who briefed us separately and patiently after the common briefing in dutch. Every aspect of the trip was well communicated, and well implemented with great calmness. I highly recommend Travelbase & The Iceland Trail offered by them! Sincerely, The Indians living in Denmark who booked an Icelandic hiking experience through a Dutch company :D

Fantastic trail with breathtaking views, a wide variety of different landscapes and challenging but fun hikes! Loved the enthusiasm and experience of the guides. The hotsprings are amazing to chill in. Even with some very bad weather at the beginning of the trip it was still an amazing experience overall. Some of the guides stayed up all night to make sure everyone was okay during the storm, which really shows their dedication to making this trip a success!

Travelbase Trails is for anyone with an adventurous spirit, eager to explore the world on foot.

We currently offer an unforgettable hiking experience on the beautiful island of Madeira. This stunning destination features unique landscapes and a welcoming local culture, ensuring a truly memorable journey. Stay tuned, as more trails may be available in the future!

Travelbase Trails was created by hikers, for hikers, with the mission of exploring the world through iconic hikes. Organizing your own hike can be challenging, so our routes, designed by experienced guides, offer well-balanced stages with stunning highlights in a short time. We handle all logistics (local transport, a mobile app, nature-based accommodations, rental of food packs and camping gear) and provide support from experienced guides and Rangers. All of this, at an affordable price.

You can either come with your own camping equipment or rent it from us. You will receive high-quality gear, such as a tent, sleeping bag, and mattress. You can also rent walking sticks and a cooking set. You will receive a packing list before your trip detailing all the necessary equipment.

The essentials include good hiking shoes (category A-B/B-C), a backpack (approximately 65–80L), possibly a daypack (about 40L), reliable camping gear, and protective (rain) clothing. Choose shoes that you feel comfortable enough in for a long trek. Prepare for the potential weather conditions on-site. Often, good waterproof clothing is an absolute must, and you shouldn’t forget a few warm layers as well. It can get quite chilly in the evenings. You will receive a detailed packing list well in advance, outlining all the necessary gear for the destination where you will be hiking.

Before the trip begins, you will have access to our mobile app, which features comprehensive details about all routes and points of interest. This will empower you to navigate the trail independently. Additionally, experienced guides will be available, depending on the trail, to offer essential information and assistance whenever needed.

You’ll find limited access to restaurants or supermarkets, so it’s important to bring enough food for the entire journey. You can rent a food pack that includes a cooking set (cooking pot, gas burner, and gas canister) from us, or you can enjoy dinner at the accommodations where we stay each evening. Don’t forget to pack your own water bottles; aim to carry at least 2 litres of water. You’ll have the opportunity to refill your bottles at the overnight locations or at streams along the route.

The Madeira Trail is a self-guided hike. This means that you will be hiking completely independently. We make sure that you have everything you need for a successful hike. Everything is organized for you, so you don't have to worry about a thing. All you have to do is hike and enjoy.An experienced ranger will provide you with a comprehensive briefing on the first day of the hike. They will then send you a daily briefing via message.
