Lokoloko Madeira is an adventure operator based in Caniço, Madeira, offering a broad range of guided outdoor experiences across the island. The company organizes mountain biking adventures, levada cycling, canyoning across multiple difficulty levels, coasteering, kayak and snorkel tours, and introductory scuba dives in the Garajau marine reserve. Many experiences emphasize small, personalized groups and guided support, with several tours explicitly noting expert or local guides and safety-focused instruction.

Biking options include enduro and trail experiences, a relaxed Levada ride through terrace fields and a food-and-bike tour combining local cuisine with cycling.
