I did a one day tour with João from Mountain Gadget and it was awesome!
João is very friendly and professional and the bikes are in perfect condition.
We drove various terrain and joão picked a very nice trail that suited my experience, it had exactly that what i was hoping for.
I had the feeling i was driving with my friends instead of driving with a guide.
Many nice conversations on the way when we stopped for something to drink or lunch.
If you love Enduro and you are on Madeira than i can highly recommend doing a tour with Mountain Gadget, João will give you all you want from beginner to expert.
With great knowledge of driving and the terrain on Madeira.
I will definitely coming back for another tour!
Thanks a lot my Friend

Had an amazing day with Joao. He’s a top guy with years of experience, wealth of local knowledge and is a great instructor. I have ridden most of my life as well, even so, experienced things I’d never came across. Madeira is such a unique and amazing location for such an experience, and with top spec brand new bikes, full kit supplied (handy when you’re on holiday and don’t have your own with you) a seriously experienced tutor/guide, i learned a lot and took a lot away from the whole experience. If you’re into bikes, honestly this is a must. Cracking mix of off road trails, on road, moto x.
All you need is your license. Mountain Gadget deal with pick up, kit, bikes, guide, and drop off.
On a real positive as well, Joao really takes the time to chat about and consider your riding experience which will undoubtedly influence your days experience. My day met every expectation and more. Well worth the effort to get booked on, and the money. 5 star all day long.

Thanks Joao, awesome day man!!! See you soon when I’m back over.

It was my first enduro experience ever. Great adventure you can not miss visiting Madeira. Lovely dirt tracks, trails, levadas, forests and steepy hills – all this is only begining. You can choose half day, full day or even a week trip to discover mysterious of the island. Joao leads you to the edge of your imagination and endurance.

From the first telephone contact Joao couldn’t help enough, every question i asked i got a response within minutes. TOP CLASS HOST.

On the day of my experience i was collected and and dropped off at no extra cost from my chosen destination.

I arrived at Mountain Gadgets HQ greeted with brang new TC300 huskies. All kit was also provided 100% professional fro. Start to finish.

We set off, with joao’s obvious passion and knowledge of his chosen sport i knew i was in safe hands, he completed a quick assessment to gauges my ability and chose a course that pushed me to my limits but also made it an amazing and enjoyable day, we stopped for lunch the food was rather tasty also.

The views from the top of the mountain i dont believe you would see them if you were on foot. Overall it was value for money and without a doubt if i visit again it would be one of the first places i would book into.

Thanks again

Best Regards

Been riding my 125cc on the road for a year but never had any off road experience, nor ridden a dirt bike. J and his team were super supportive and showed me the ropes… It was fantastic day out. I’ll be back for more next year!

Awesome experience. I did a half-day session. I’d only done a few hours of motorbiking before so João took me through the basics and helped especially with clutch-work to get up steep slopes, and after that we did some riding around nearby hills with great views. João is patient, encouraging, and passionate. The session was challenging for me but also a lot of fun – next time I’m in Madeira I’ll definitely do a longer session!

Brilliant day out,would recommend it to any offroaders, felt very welcomed and the trails were amazing
as were the views.

We were 3 guys from Norway going to Madeira and Mountain Gadget 3 days in March 2022.
One quite experienced enduro rider and two newbies, all in our 50ties and 60ties.
João took great care of us and gave us a fantastic experience.
He made a nice progression for us, making us wanting to go a little bit further and maybe out of the comfort zone every day.
That feeling when you do something you did not believe you could do! 🙂
Madeira is beautiful, João is a great guide and host, totally recommended!
