Madeira Motorcycle Tour with Rental Bike

Your Madeira motorcycle tour begins in Caniço, a quiet spot on the south coast between the airport and Funchal — the ideal starting point for day trips across the whole island. Your rental motorcycle waits well-maintained and fitted with ABS in our own workshop, because renting a motorcycle on Madeira means the highest technical care with us. If you're looking for a Madeira motorcycle holiday, you'll find steep switchbacks, dense laurel forest and views of the Atlantic here. Several years of riding experience is required, and then every bend becomes a pleasure.

Highlights

Madeira's Curve Paradise

Madeira's paradise of curves delights with tight switchbacks, steep climbs and ever-changing views of the Atlantic. Experienced riders enjoy every bend between laurel forest and steep coastline — variety is guaranteed here.

Our Own Motorcycle Workshop

Since 1995 we've serviced our Madeira rental motorcycles in our own tailor-made workshop, following manufacturer specifications. Special tools and diagnostic testers ensure every machine is technically sound and roadworthy.

Hotel Right in Caniço

Your hotel and motorcycle package starts in Caniço, located between the airport and Funchal. A garden restaurant, captain's bar and sea-view rooms make this base especially pleasant for your day trips around the whole island.

ABS Safety Included

Since the year 2000, every rental motorcycle on Madeira in our fleet has come equipped with ABS. This early switch noticeably increases passive safety for rider and passenger on the island's steep coastal roads.

Year-Round Sun & Riding

As a winter escape by motorcycle, Madeira tempts riders year-round with temperatures between 20 and 25 degrees. Even outside the main season you'll find great conditions for relaxed rides, far from the cold and grey everyday routine.
