Meet the Ze’s, your family’s personal guides to Madeira.

We’re ZeTravelFamily — a former travel family family based in Madeira. Over the past three years we’ve explored every levada, beach, and viewpoint this island has to offer, with our toddler in tow. We’ve figured out which hikes actually work with a stroller (and which ones don’t), how to plan a Madeira trip around nap schedules, and how to raise an adventurous kid on one of the most dramatic islands in the world.
Here you’ll find practical Madeira hiking guides for families, baby- and toddler-friendly destination guides across the island, and what actually works when traveling with a baby — real advice from parents doing this every day, on the ground in Madeira.
