Overview
Embark on an unforgettable 7-day photography adventure on the enchanting Madeira Island, a paradise designed by nature for photographers. This tour, crafted with the keen eye of a seasoned photographer, promises to capture the island’s diverse beauty from sunrise to sunset. Our journey begins and ends in Santa Cruz, near the vibrant city of Funchal, but the magic lies in the destinations we explore in between.
We’ll delve into the mystical Fanal forest, visiting twice to maximize our chances of capturing its ethereal beauty. In Santana, the iconic traditional houses offer a picturesque glimpse into Madeira’s rich heritage. Our sunsets will be spectacular from Pico Ruivo, the island’s highest peak, where we’ll have two opportunities to frame the perfect shot. Seixal’s panoramic views and unique swimming pools, alongside the breathtaking seascapes of Porto Moniz, provide endless inspiration. As dawn breaks, we’ll be at Ribeira da Janela, ready to capture the first light over the dramatic coastline, and at Miradouro do Guindaste for another stunning sunrise. Finally, the rugged cliffs and sweeping views at Ponta São Lourenço will be the perfect grand finale to our photographic journey. Join us in discovering the hidden gems of Madeira, where every location tells a story through your lens.

Testimonials
Authentic and well organized expedition in an indigenous tribe
Tristan guided me through the mountains of Sierra Nevada and facilitated all the details for meeting a kogi tribe.
It was a work trip as I was working on a very specific topic ( panela) and Tristan took care of all the details and was very
understanding.
The whole experience felt very authentic, and overall Tristan is so passionate
about what he does it's hard not to have a blast during the trip.
A Compassionate Journey with Tristan
As the wife of a photographer, I’ve gone a half dozen photo tours. I try to make them my own and usually am successful in doing so. If I had to pinpoint anything that made the trip successful, it would be Tristan’s humanity shown so many times in the way he treated participants and native
Colombians. Visiting native tribes (not painted-face imposters) was a treat for me and my iPhone camera. Tristan planned well, explained things in detail and also found local experts who taught a great deal.
Beautiful discovery of southern Colombia
Wonderful discovery of southern Colombia. Excellent organization, and Tristan is an outstanding guide who shares his love for the country.
What a wonderful Trip !
What a wonderful trip. Tristan is such a lovely person and well organised.
We had a wonderful trip around the Sierra Nevada in Colombia, up to Camarones and even Mompox. We visited so many places and met so many great people and communities.
It was FANTASTIC.
I highly recommand Remote Expeditions and Tristan for any trip you intend to plan
Fantastic trip off the beaten path
Tristan is a very knowledgeable guide and photographer, and he is also very personable. Traveling with him was a very nice experience and we had lots of laughs too!
The trip was flawlessly organized and Tristan understood our needs very well, tailoring the itinerary to ensure we had the best experience possible. Thanks to him, we discovered Colombia off the beaten path.
Last but not least, I have done a number of photography trips and Tristan is probably the most dedicated teacher I have traveled with. He is really passionate about passing on his knowledge and passion about photography.
I will certainly book another trip with Remote Expeditions in the near future.
